Plot summary stolen from Wikipedia:

A Matter of Loaf and Death is a mock murder mystery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_mystery), with Wallace and Gromit starting a new bakery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakery) business called "Top Bun". Gromit learns that bakers have been mysteriously disappearing, and tries to solve the case before Wallace ends up a victim himself.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Matter_of_Loaf_and_Death#cite_note-4) This short introduces a new love interest for Wallace, Piella Bakewell, a bread enthusiast voiced by Sally Lindsay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Lindsay)

In a rather bewildering reversal, it will have it's world premier in Australia on December 3. So we get it before even England, where I couldn't find a release date before 'this Christmas'. I attribute this to the miracle of timezones confusing people about when exactly December 3 in Australia is.

Anyhoo, new Wallace and Gromit! :cathryn:

K, so it wasn't bad but, by their standards, it wasn't that great. I'd have it behind The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave definitely, but I'd need to watch A Grand Day Out again before making a call there. Animation was good and the humour was as well, but the pacing seemed a bit off. It seemed very... cramped compared to the other shorts. Too much plot, not enough run time.


Still it was Wallace and Gromit, it can't go wrong.

; ;... Don't say it... breaking 'ma 'hartz.

But since you've somewhat approved it, I'll give it a check. (Not that I wasn't going to give it a check, anyway :aldo:)
