Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Wallace and Gromit have a brand new business. The conversion of 62 West Wallaby Street is complete and impressive, the whole house is now a granary with ovens and robotic kneading arms. Huge mixing bowls are all over the place and everything is covered with a layer of flour. On the roof is a 'Wallace patent-pending' old-fashioned windmill. The transformation is perfect. Although business is booming, Gromit is concerned by the news that 12 local bakers have 'disappeared' this year - but Wallace isn't worried. He's too distracted and 'dough-eyed' in love with local beauty and bread enthusiast, Piella Bakewell, to be of much help. While they enjoy being the 'Toast of the Town', Gromit, with his master's life in jeopardy, must be the sleuth and solve the escalating murder mystery - in what quickly becomes a 'Matter of Loaf and Death'.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The scene where Wallace and Gromit try to dispose of the bomb, but can't because there are ducks in a pond out of one window and nuns through another is a reference to the scene in Batman (1966), where Batman, played by Adam West, has similar problems whilst trying to dispose of a bomb.

| Goofs | Near the end of the movie. Piella hits Gromit away from the bomb. When the bomb falls out of the window, Piella turns and we see an impression of Gromit on her weapon. But the impression is on the wrong side. See more » |

Wallace:
But Piella, you're the Bake-O-Lite girl! Piella Bakewell: *Was* the Bake-O-Lite girl. I ate too much, you see. Wallace: Oh, really? Piella Bakewell: I couldn't ride the balloon anymore. Wallace: Oh dear. Piella Bakewell: So they dropped me. Wallace: What a blow. Ooh! Piella Bakewell: ME! A curse on bakers and their loathsome confections! See more » |
