"Your buns are well and truly toasted!". "Wallace" and "Gromit" are now running a successful bakery business - well, "Gromit" is! His strenuous efforts to just get "Wallace" out of bed in the morning require the precision (and persistence) of the D-Day landings! According to the newspapers, baking i ... s a dangerous business with twelve others having been rolling-pinned to death! Who'd want to harm them, though, eh? Enter "Piella" and her perfectly coiffured poodle "Fluffy". It's love at first sight for everyone - but can it be as good as it looks? It's perhaps not quite as good as the earlier outings for our cheese-lovers, but it's still great fun with some pithy dialogue and a denouement straight out of "Aliens" (1986) before some "Poochini" or "Hound of Music" to listen to in the car... Nope, sorry, "Puppy Love"!
