MovieMail's Review

30 minutes of inventive TV heaven - Milo Wakelin thinks Nick Park baked this one to perfection.

 

The TV hit of 2008, AMoLaD is a carefully sifted mixture of mix of comedy, thrills and suspense that has been baked to perfection. Wallace and Gromit have always fared better on shorter, small-screen outings, and since their split from Dreamworks, Aardman have been free to cater to peculiarly British, nay, Lancastrian, sensibilities.

This time, bakers are being bumped off one by one, and police suspect a serial killer is on the loose. Unfortunately for Wallace and Gromit, their new ‘Top Bun’ bakery has put them directly in the path of peril. Fortunately, love is in the air for Wallace in the doughty, doughy form of Piella Bakewell, the former pin-up girl for the ‘Bake-O-Lite’ bread company, who – despite a long string of ex-husbands – seems to have the hots for him. The action and editing are sharp as a whippet, and with quickfire film references, masterfully orchestrated action, and some great new characters, this is not just a great slice of family entertainment – it’s one of the best short films of the year.

Film Description

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?
