Release date: December 3rd 2008 (Australian release). December 25th 2008 (British release).
Story: Wallace and Gromit have started a bakery and have turned their whole house into a windmill (what would the neighbours say). While on a delivery, they rescue a woman and her dog on a runaway bike. The woman turns out to be Piella Bakewell (who used to be the spokesman for another bakery business) and her dog Fluffles. Wallace and Piella hit it off and even Gromit starts to develop feelings for Fluffles. But things are not what as they seem. For there is a serial killer on the loose who is targeting bakers.
My thoughts: This is the fourth and final Wallace and Gromit short and my least favourite. Apart from the sudden dark tones of the short, there is no real mystery to be found. I thought that this was going to be a Agatha Christie type of plot. Wallace and Gromit go to a baker's convention with other bakers and slowly they get picked off one by one and Gromit has to find out who's behind it all before it is too late. But sadly I was disappointed by what we got instead. You know who the killer is and what their methods are before the second act. But on the plus side it is nice that Gromit dose have a love interest.
My score: Two stars.
