Wallace & Gromit: 'A Matter of Loaf and Death' (2008)
Wallace & Gromit have started a new bread baking business, 'Top Bun' and converted 62 West Wallaby Street into a granary with ovens, robotic kneading arms and an old-fashioned windmill on the roof. The transformation is perfect. Although business is booming, Gromit is concerned by the news that a dozen local bakers have 'disappeared' this year - but Wallace isn't worried. He's too distracted and 'dough-eyed' in love with former beauty and bread enthusiast, Piella Bakewell. While they enjoy being the 'Toast of the Town', Gromit soon realises his master's life is in jeopardy, and turns sleuth to solve the escalating murder mystery - in what quickly becomes 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'.
