Thank god for Gromit. That kid with the long ears can act anything with his minimalist acting and lack of lines. And it is his deep-felt performance that powers this latest escapade with the most entertaining Plasticine duo ever. Although this is one of the weaker episodes, the phrase “weaker Wallace and Gromit" is still a guarantee of quality; there’s not much that would equal them. If anything.

Yes, I could criticize The Question of Loaf and Death for the fact that the story is no longer very original for the standards of Wallace and Gromit, but I don’t want to, and I’m giving it a full rating. Amazing how you can be moved by the sight of a plasticine dog.

It follows the classic Gromit template and the story is very silly, but everything is saved by the final action-packed minutes and a bunch of brilliant film quotes, especially those from Ghost and Aliens are among the funniest ever.
