This short was nominated for an Academy Award. There will be spoilers ahead:
Much will be familiar to you if you've seen many of the shorts and/or the feature starring Wallace and Gromit. Wallace is still Wallace and Gromit is called on once again to save the day.
Our heroes are now running a bakery, with Gromit doing most of the work and Wallace being, well, Wallace. A dozen bakers have been murdered by the time Wallace and Gromit enter the short and the killer is looking to make it a "baker's dozen" with Wallace the next in line.
The killer is obvious to the audience, Gromit, everyone but Wallace. Much of the short is devoted to Gromit trying to save Wallace and Wallace doing everything to make Gromit's task harder, albeit unwittingly (of course, much of what Wallace does is unwitting).
This time out, Gromit develops a love interest, someone worthy of him. That's an interesting subplot which unfolds over time. The ending of the short is great and perfect, although the sample of Gromit's musical tastes given to the audience leaves much to be desired.
This is available on DVD and is well worth watching. Most recommended.
