Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death 2008

     The home at #62 West Wallaby Street has been converted to a granary with ovens, robotic kneading arms and huge mixing bowls.  There is an old fashioned windmill on the roof with the words, patent-pending.  The business at Top Bun is booming, they have a delivery van and they take the bread to their customers.  There is a minor problem.  Wallace is not worried but Gromit is very concerned.  Twelve local bakers have disappeared this year?  Wallace is too distracted to worry because he has met Bake-O-Lite bread girl Piella Bakewell.  He thinks she may be ‘the one!’  Gromit is a little bit happy because Piella has a very nice little French poodle named Fluffles. 

     This is so funny!!  Gromit is a VERY smart dog!!  I would also say that he is smarter than Wallace.  Piella is an unusual woman too!!  It seems convenient that she would like a baker with the word pie in her name??  Fluffles is sweet and she has long fluttery eyelashes.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

30 min, Animation directed by Nick Park with the voices of Peter Sallis, Sally Lindsay, Melissa Collier, Sarah Laborde.

Note:  Imdb 7.6 out of 10, 76% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 3.7* out of 5* with 119 reviews.

Special Note:  The DVD says the running time is 87 minutes but this episode is actually only 30 minutes.  The ‘making’ segment adds to the minutes plus a Shaun the Sheep episode.

Special Note:  This movie was filmed in Bristol, England.  Gromit reads a book called Electronic Surveillance for Dogs.  Previously, he read Electronics for Dogs in The Wrong Trousers.  A very smart dog indeed!!
