Premise
Wallace and Gromit return as bakers who get caught up in a serial killer mystery.

Liked
Gromit and Fluffles.

Disliked
The story.

Thoughts
While it was good to see the lovable duo back in action, the story felt rather underwhelming.

Gromit was adorable as usual, and so was his unexpected love interest, the weak-at-the-knees Fluffles.

Disappointingly, A Matter of Loaf and Death lacked some creativity in the mystery. Only Fluffles was mildly interesting during the story, and everything else was rather predictable. The previous three entries of the franchise had interesting twists near the end, so this one paled in comparison.

As a fan, it was nice to see Wallace and Gromit onscreen again in something new, too bad the story-telling was not.

What I would change
Come up with a cooler reveal for the identity of the killer.
