Never thought I'd see Wallace and Gromit spoof Fatal Attraction, but here we are.

Not THE best W&G-movie but less will do! The title alone is classic stuff, and how great is it to have W&G back in the shorts where they belong? Love every little detail from the windmill to the "missing Penguin" sign at the Zoo... from the Citizen Kanine-poster on Gromits wall to the Ghost, Aliens and Batman The Movie ("Some days you just cant get rid of a bomb!") parodies! ... Park has done it yet again

Wallace and Gromit are almost at a disadvantage before I watch any of their films. I expect so much of them, that when I see something like 'A Matter of Loaf and Death', I get really disappointed. I know they're capable of so much better. The story here has been done before so many times that even an interpretation by Nick Park's characters can't make it that interesting. Still, the animation here is top notch. The chase, battle and morning wake-up sequences are excellent, but I expect better.

As charming and incredibly well done as always, but I don't remember so many movie references in past shorts [I counted Aliens, 1966 Batman, & Ghost] and I don't exactly like it. Also, a bit too romance heavy, even with Wallace being doubly hilarious when chivalrous.

Nick Park is unreal good. He just keeps getting better and better animation-wise. The story isn't wholly original, but it's funny and entertaining, and visually amazing.

Loved the references, but definitely not W&G's best.

Another cracking adventure featuring W&G. It's a little predictable and doesn't bring much new to the table (the story is something of a cross between "The Wrong Trousers" and "A Close Shave") but as always, it's very entertaining, and expertly crafted. Loaded with the usual sight gags and references, including a terrific tribute to Aliens.

Without a doubt an enjoyable production for kids. However, the vibe is a little bit removed from the other Wallace & Gromit installments.

Definitely not nearly as amazing as their other films. Also, what's this fixation that the writers have with making homophobic jokes in Wallace & Gromit media?? kinda weird.

The last of the proper Wallace & Gromits and unfortunately the weakest, with little originality shown in either the writing or the direction. Unlike all their other adventures there’s nothing standout or memorable here, with a lack of trademark wit meaning the biggest laughs come from simple spoofing of classic movies. It's not terrible, and has nothing to actively dislike, but it’s definitely a disappointing final instalment in the series.

Despite having much more complex animation than the shorts from the '90s, there does feel like things are missing here, like only every second scene feels like proper Wallace and Gromit goodiness -- which means it's still overall pretty darn good.

Proof that Aardman unquestionably still have "it". Just as clever, well-observed, and surprisingly witty as its predecessors.

Another fun W & G short. While the story here isn't quite as strong as the other three, the animation is at its most polished, detailed and impressive.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story to this as I am fairly new to the world of Wallace and Gromit, except for the movie, but I really liked the sinister and action pack thrill that this actually had. I actually like the action in this compared to other action movies.

Park isn't delivering anything epic here, just a terse Wallace and Gromit tale with quite a bit of action and baking puns thrown in the mix...oh, see, i did it too.

The first outing since the feature length Were-Rabbit, this film does feel like a step down. However it is still a decent story harking back to the old days and for once, Gromit falls in love!

W&G continue their downward slide with their first truly sub-par film. Far too much of the story is geared around setting up the constant puns, visual jokes and film references which have become the duo's trademark. Compared to their 1989 debut, the plasticene pair have gained a lot of polish, but lost most of their heart, soul and originality. Nick Park needs to stop paying homage to Hitchcock and get some fresh ideas. This is what happens when art becomes a franchise.

After the great "Curse of the Were-Rabbit", this was too obvious, too dark, not developed well, too short, and not funny enough.

An entertaining time, but when compared to the previous Wallace and Gromit entries, it feels conventional and a bit stale. The film started out well, but as it moved into its second act, it began to drag. That's probably because the plot was only so-so, and I was not enamored with the animation of Wallace's love interest--looked a bit sloppy at times.

Enjoyable animation with some dry humour. Not really a fan of Wallace and Gromit but they still provide a decent time.

It's not as strong as either the masterpiece 'The Wrong Trousers' or the nearly-as-good 'A Close Shave' mostly because the story doesn't feel fleshed out quite enough and it feels a little rushed but the animation looks as good as ever and probably better.

Not hitting the stratospheric highs of, say, the Wrong Trousers. It's not coming as easy as it used to, but still head and shoulders above it's contemporaries.

På mærkelig vis synes denne omgang ikke at være lige så god og banebrydende som de forrige... er det mig eller er der noget galt? Fortsat super teknisk kvalitet, men deres univers er ikke mere det samme...

I always remembered W&G shorts feeling like full length feature films. They had that creative grandeur about them. This one actually felt like a short.

While the quality of the production easily matches the performances of previous installments, somehow it feels a little seperated from the rest of the series. While all the numerous and often humourous film references are there coupled with the often subtle nods to previous moments in the W&G series, the plotline sometimes feels a little rushed and certain elements aren't fully developed upon. It might be partly to do with the constriction of a limited running time, but still good clean fun.
