Wallace and Gromit have opened a new bakery - Top Bun - and business is booming, not least because a deadly Cereal Killer has murdered all the other bakers in town. Gromit is worried that they may be the next victims, but Wallace couldn't care - he's fallen head over heels in love with Piella Bakewell, former star of the Bake-O-Lite bread commercials. So Gromit is left to run things on his own, when he'd much rather be getting better acquainted with Piella's lovely pet poodle Fluffles.
But then Gromit makes a shocking discovery which points to the killer's true identity. Can he save his master from becoming the next baker to be butchered? And does Fluffles know more than she is saying? It's a classic `who-doughnut' mystery, as four-time Academy Award winning director Nick Park creates a hilarious new masterpiece in the tradition of `master of suspense' Alfred Hitchcock.

Such a brilliant and funny episode, that I cannot fault it anywhere. It holds more suspense, humour, shock and fruit buns then I have seen in a long while. Keep the good times coming!
A Welcome ReturnIf you've seen the previous Wallace & Gromit adventures, you'll know what to expect.
The animation and attention to detail are as good as ever, although by now it does feel a little bit like a re-hash of previous adventures.
It all starts well, with plenty of jokes, but the climax, while ambitious, lacks the inventive fun of Wrong Trousers.
However, despite it's minor flaws, it is a more satisfying aventure than Were-Rabbit - purely by virtue of only being half an hour long.
A bit pricey when it came out, but £5 is about right for one Wallace & Gromit adventure.
What a great Fathers Day present I had they are still great!

I have been a big fan of Wallace & Gromit since the start with A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave. The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit was most excellent too and I thought A Matter Of Loaf And Death might have been one Wallace & Gromit to many because Shrek became very stale with it's third movie. This is just as enjoyable and magical as all the other Wallace & Goromit adventures and for me was the highlight of last years Christmas television. I still find it amazing how Gromit can say so much with only the use of the expressions on his face. The amount of time, work and effort that goes into making a Wallace & Gromit film is tremendous and the Bafta award was more then well deserved. Wallace & Gromit is something us Brits love and are very proud to call our own because Aardman always keep the quality to a very high standard in all areas and the same can not be said with Dreamworks Shrek.
