It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

With 3 of the best and funniest short films in years and a fantastic feature length movie they where at the top of their game! This did not ruin Wallace and gromit, it just wasn't as good as the other shorts. It's problems aren't that a problem for me apart from Wallace never says cheese in the whole film!The mayor problem for me is the pop culture joke and violence because that's not Wallace and gromit. I don't hate it as some people hate it. It's totally not on par with the other shorts with its cartoon sound affects and the other stuff. A romantic girl for gromit is new and I might not like her as much in here, there could be great possibility's and the very end with their coming together. OK I am really mad at how long that bomb takes to explode, REALLY!!!!! Not the best and probably the least liked but I recommend a watch and see if you like it

while i enjoyed this latest animated Wallace and Gromit feature,a few things disappointed me.the biggest thing,(and i'm sure others have mentioned this)is the running time.both the the artwork on the DVD and the case list it as being 87 minutes.however,the actual running time is around the 30 minute mark.not sure why the discrepancy.the other thing that disappointed me was the lack of humour compared to Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Wererabbit.there were some humorous moments,but not as many as i expected,and what humour there was,was much more subtle.although there many amusing moments,there were no real laugh out loud moments here for me,i did however like the story,but because the film was so short,i don't feel they developed it enough.still,overall,it was a pleasant watch.for me,Wallace and Gromit in A Matter of Loaf and Death is a 6/10

This was the first Wallace & Gromit short to be made after the big world wide theatrical release and success of the full length animated movie "Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". By now the entire world and- not just England anymore, knew who Wallace & Gromit were. This of course made expectations higher than usual and putted on pressure on Nick Park and the rest of the crew. "Wallace and Gromit in 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'" however does what all other previous Wallace & Gromit shorts had also already done in the past and that is to bring some cracking and good looking simple entertainment.It's probably not as hilarious to watch as the previous Wallace & Gromit shorts but the movie is nevertheless entertaining and of course impressive as well to look at. The animations and possibilities have all advanced, which provides "Wallace and Gromit in 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'" with some even more impressive looking sequences.The movie is probably less hilarious to watch because of its story. It's a quite sinister- and more of a thriller type of plot. All other Wallace & Gromit movies already sort of had this but this movie just a bit more than others. I must say that the movie even tends to drag a little at points but luckily the movie has more than enough redeeming qualities to qualify this movie as simple a great- and highly entertaining movie.Another triumph for the Aardman studios.8/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Roald Dahl knew as much as anyone that kids love things a bit darker, a bit more menacing. Nick Park seems far removed from Dahl, but the truth is the dark has always been there, it's just people haven't bothered to look.Matter Of Loaf And Death was great BECAUSE it pushed the boundaries. It would be so easy to coast and take Sony's Yankee dollar. But Nick Park isn't like that.I admire him because this is his creation and he always seems to come up with something surprise him. The clever film references, the delightful puns (Citizen Canine!) all well handled.And seriously, didn't anyone else find Fluffie's relationship with Gromit sweet? Or perhaps I'm getting sentimental in my old age. Anyhoo, I loved it.
