I’ve been a big fan of Wallace & Gromit ever since Heather and I saw The Wrong Trousers in a tiny-screened art house theater. The kids grew up on the original three shorts, and we loved Curse of the Wererabbit as well. However, none of us much cared much for Nick Park’s latest, A Matter of Loaf and Death.
If you are looking for the classic, steady, careful pacing seen in Trousers, you will be disappointed. Overall, Loaf felt as if it had been hastily assembled, and the pacing jumped from shot to shot, almost as if just enough was animated to convey a thought and then they moved on.
