Wallace (Peter Sallis) and Gromit is this time implicated in a matter of "loaf and death"!?
They have started a bakery but suddenly they realise that other bakers are being killed but by who or what (as indicated by the additional title; 'Were-Rabbit, the well known creatures?)? They have to solve this mystery before Wallace himself becomes the next victim.
Wallace falls in love with Piella Bakewell(!) (Sally Lindsay) and this leaves Gromit to solve the case on his own. In this case it shows itself being the best solution for both of them - and the surrounding society.
We looked at this film in French and as often, the jokes sounds better in my (Gunnar's) ears when listening to them in English. I don't know if this is due to the differences concerning the culture of humour in France vs the English speaking world or if it's a question of translation.
Generally I have some problems with French humour but this might be connected to the strong influence from the Anglo-Saxan world in Sweden where I've lived most of my life. The exceptions are comedians like Jacques Tati, Louis de Funès, Pierre Etaix and the like.
It's a charming little piece of work and Gromit is - as always - the brightest of the two but somehow Wallace succeeds in getting things right anyway.
In this case the solution to the mystery is to be found in Wallace himself and this becomes rather obvious after a while!
