A Matter of Loaf and Death Complete 1-Disc Box Set DVD

A Matter of Loaf and Death is a stop-motion animated short from 2008 drawn from the broader source franchise that follows the famously inventive English inventor Wallace and his loyal dog companion Gromit when their fresh start as bakery proprietors lands them in the middle of a serial-killer mystery, with Wallace himself suddenly the next likely target as a string of broader bakery proprietors continues to vanish. The tone keeps the warm dry comic adventure register of the broader source franchise, leaning into the broader source author's distinctive blend of inventive practical-effects mishaps and sincere emotional beats. Watching it feels like a beloved seasonal short delivered with extraordinary craft.
