Looking for a fast way to earn dough, Wallace decides to make it. Armed with a batch of ovens, an army of robotic kneading arms and an old-fashioned windmill, Wallace & Gromit™ start "Top Bun,” their new bread-baking business. Sales rise quickly and Wallace falls head over buns in love with a seductive bread-industry icon, Piella Bakewell. But when bakers suddenly start disappearing, Gromit realizes that his master is in danger as he follows a twisting, turning trail of crumbs to solve a murder mystery that becomes… A Matter of Loaf and Death! |

Awesome quality movie like only Wallace and Gromit can provide by Linda G. Ward (Dallas, TX United States)  5 Stars
November 28, 2009
If you like Wallace and Gromit, then you will not be disappointed. My 8 year old son had watched it 3 times during the first day we got it in the mail

Half baked by lighten_up_already2 (Kirkland, WA USA)  2 Stars
November 22, 2009
This is about a half-hour feature, and in my opinion is not classic as the first three Wallace and Gromit shorts were from the 1990's.
First of all, one of the wonderful things about W and G is that it's fun for the grown-ups and the kiddies, but starting off with someone being murdered wasn't so fun and wasn't something I wanted to be part of "family movie night".
And, they give away the murderer right off the bat so it's really not a mystery at all, just something to sit through. What were they thinking?

Decent addition to the Wallace & Gromit catalog; packaging is misleading by jimjones  3 Stars
November 11, 2009
This isn't as clever as the first three Wallace & Gromit shorts, but it's worth seeing if you like them.
My main problem with this is that the packaging lists the run time as 87 minutes. I saw it in the store and figured it was a new straight to video movie and gladly paid the ten dollars for it. I was very disappointed to have it end just before reaching a half an hour. I guess they included the special features in the length too (though I don't think the special features were over an hour). Dirty trick.
I see the other shorts are now also for sale individually with run times listed as 62 minutes. I assume this is the case with those too. I can understand releasing this new one separately for people who have the previous ones but I don't get releasing the original three individually, they were always packaged together. Seems like they're trying to milk as much money out of these as possible.

My grandson loves it... by Diane Noland (Capitola, CA USA)  4 Stars
November 02, 2009
While I don't think A Matter of Loaf and Death comes up to the level of the other Wallace and Gromit movies, especially A Grand Day Out, A Close Shave and The Wrong Trowsers, it is another charming W&G movie. The reason I say it's not 5 stars, is there don't seem to be any memorable phrases like there are in the other movies. My grandson and I can't even mention cheese without saying, "Everybody loves cheeeeessse," and we adore saying, "Come now, no need to be sheepish." But most importantly my grandson loves it. He's 10 and I was actually kind of concerned that he might think it's a little bit "kiddish" for him since he's grown up quite a lot lately and his tastes seem to be changing, but I've dropped in on him several times unexpectedly and he's got it playing in his room (albeit while he plays on the computer). But he's got a hundred other DVDs he could play and those just stay in the drawer day after day, week after week. He has actually told me he likes this movie a lot. He's a boy of few words these days and so I think that means something!
I'm so glad the movie came out. I was beginning to think there would be no more and that would too sad! Wallace and Gromit are a VERY good thing.

scared my son! by J. hamaguchi (Chicago suburbs) 3 Stars
October 30, 2009
I guess Wallace and Gromit are more for older kids and adults beacause this one scared my 3 year old so much that he doesn't want to watch ANY Wallace and Gromit dvd's now. He used to like them, and he still loves Shaun the Sheep, but this one has to be shelved indefinitely. I'm not even sure that he got the idea that the lady was a serial killer but he understood her dog being abused.
