Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The weakest of the four shorts still qualifies as a good time. Rated: 3/4 Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof Not everything is reduced to artisanal animation (the kind that shows the love put into each character), it boasts a sparkling and fun script, full of wonderful craziness and charismatic characters. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The comic timing is still stellar, but the humor has decreased in favor of thrills. Rated: 7/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique Even if the results do not quite live up to [Wallce and Gromit's] best work, "A Matter of Loaf and Death" is nevertheless another fine mess, loaded with droll dialogue and amusing sight gags.

Birithivy Y Wallace & Gromit: A Matter Of Loaf And Death - 9/10. The weakest of the shorts, but who cares! When your weakest short is still fantastic, that shows the range your franchise has! This short is another interesting one, with more blatant homages to famous movies and genres. What’s the biggest surprise with this short is that it just so happens to be the most “adult” of the shorts. This one involves a serial killer (which I’m still surprised they brought that type of material into the family friendly series). Its fantastically animated as usual with the series, and we see that Nick Park and team have really upped their game in terms of their ability of making swift and electric set pieces with clay. Gromit’s more of the star here, and its nice that he got a love interest in this short! Even though its the weakest short, its still a boat load of fun! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review D3Z 1 Even though A Matter of Loaf and Death does not quite reach the heights of the likes of A Close Shave or the Wrong Trousers, it is still a fun and entertaining instalment from the Wallace and Gromit franchise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Adri S MEH. Un corto que esta bien en algunas partes pero en otras aburre. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Jay W It had been 13 years since Wallace and Gromit's last short animated adventure. Since that time, a lot had changed in the animation world. Pixar had taken off as the animation juggernaut, and computer animation was becoming the forefront of animated content. After the duo had already won 3 Oscars, the question became: what new does this short bring to the table? Well it turns out, another great and charming animated short. By no means as revolutionary as their early work, but none the less impressive. The animation continues to raise the bar for what is possible for claymation, and the humor hits just as hard as their classic stuff. If you are a fan of Wallace and Gromit, this final work of Nick Park and Peter Sallis is an absolute must see. These guys still got it; their final entry is still as good as any of their previous. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Andrew T I love this movie. Most of the time I watch anything I enjoy it but not enough to make me laugh or have any reaction at all really. But this film had me laughing in a way I haven't laughed in a long time. The visuals are great like usual and the comedy is on par with other Wallace and Gromit media. I loved every moment of the film. This is one of my favorite's in the Wallace and Gromit series and I think it's a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review TROY S This British claymation movie delves into some darker themes, but with slapstick humor and even a bit of pathos.
