A murder in a kids' film?
My family and I started to watch this movie together and had to turn it off due to scariness and the murder that happens in the opening scene. My son is 4 and daughter is 9. My 4 year old was really upset about the deaths of the bakers. My 9 year old knew that it wasn't right to be showing someone getting murdered. We usually LOVE Wallace and Gromit but were very disappointed by this DVD.

More Violent, Still Funny
If you have been a fan of Wallace & Gromit before this you know that there tends to be a lot of slapstick style comedy. This short however takes a turn to the very dark, opening with a murder and ending (for the first time I recall) with the death of the villain. It is much scarier for kids than their previous work. In the making of feature, the producers talked about taking on a more noir style in this film and it shows. I'd be very cautious about showing this to younger kids. The previous 3 Wallace & Gromit shorts are a much safer bet.

I liked it!
I love Wallace and Gromit but I found this entry in the series somewhat lacking. It wasn't as funny as previous films and was more sexual than any of them (I found that disturbing). There's nothing wrong with romance, but there were 4-5 direct references to sex that I can remember.
That being said, I liked it, the worst Wallace and Gromit is still miles above most other kids movies in terms of creativity and just fun.
