Cartoon Karma 2500 Sub Special - Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death | Everything W/R With

Following a fantastic but stressful-to-make feature film, it feels like coming home to have Wallace and Gromit return to their old home of half-hour short films for the BBC. With all four of their previous adventures being classics for the ages, surely there's no reason to doubt we'll be getting quality from the man-and-dog duo once again.
Welcome to Cartoon Karma, where I, Ghost Mike, your resident ghost host, delve into anything and everything potentially wrong, and right, with a chosen piece of animation. Any animation covered here will be treated fairly.
This isn't to be taken too seriously, folks. It's just a comedic, good-humoured way of looking at all our favourite animated series, shorts and films. Inspired by CinemaSins and PokéSins.

6:47 Given that we see Wallce's bare behind after the bomb explodes, its implied that the bomb was also in his underwear, or as the Brits call them, 'pants.' Thus, Wallace's choice of words seem fitting.

[@deliciousnoodles5505]

This short is real dark lol. The antagonist getting eaten by crocodiles off screen seals it.

[@17moonbeams]

What I don't understand is this. Sure Piaella gets eaten by the crocodiles so how come there was no screaming? Just a splash and a lot of gnashing? Also why was Fluffles so sad over her owner's death?

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@17moonbeams If your head got bitten off, you wouldn't scream.

[@adamherbert7863]

This special didn't age well after 12 years. This brings fat shaming to its worst especially for a kids programme.

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@adamherbert7863 I’m more surprised how the “Bake-0-Lite” brand was greatly misadvertised.

[@Justice237]

⁠@@17moonbeamsProbably because the rating would’ve been even higher if there had been screaming, even for a darker W&G, that would’ve been too far. Hell, this was the first W&G to be given a PG rating as opposed to G as is.

[@camdencoblentz3245]

I really enjoyed this short. While it is a lot less kid friendly with the murder theme, it makes for an interesting different direction while retaining the charm of the series. Wallace And Gromit is always a delight. My personal ranking of the films would be: 6. Cracking Contraptions 5. A Grand Day Out 4. A Matter Of Loaf And Death 3. The Wrong Trousers 2. A Close Shave 1. The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit

[@gamerjj2716]

I haven’t seen cracking yet

[@prowolf633]

I am so excited for the 2024 Wallace and Gromit movie! Hopefully it will lead to more shorts after that and Fluffles will become a recurring character!

Same

Well... At the channel's current subscriber rate, you'd be waiting 10 years. Anyway, if I were you, I'd read my recent community post here: kzbin.infocommunity. That might enlighten you as to plans for the channel's immediate and long-term future.

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

I can’t wait to see you do the Curse of the Were Rabbit next.

[@Luxito_DeWarlock]

YYYEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!

[@robbiewalker2831]

It’s too bad we don’t get enough subscribers to reach that goal.

[@twist58]

After two Wallace & Gromit shorts won Oscars, their first full-length feature film (which is also an Oscar winner) proved the duo still got it and are still very relevant to today's audiences.

[@hgostudios2005]

I want to see it because I love the series

[@GriffinTheLNERV2]

I just realized that right after the scene when Piella gives Wallace the cake and Gromit goes over to Piella’s house to look for Fluffles, carved into the tree it says F♥️G. I’m sure it stands for Fluffles ♥️ Gromit.

[@MarkyBoyTV]

0:56 - I like how Gromit looks up to see that his short is being given another negative karma point.

[@17moonbeams]

Hi Cartoon Karma Guy. I am so grateful you're back with Wallace and Gromit. I miss your videos so much. I hope you and your friends are OK. I wish you the very best of luck in the New Year. Once again thank you for this new Wallace and Gromit video. Friday 31st January 2020. Virginia Clark. 🙂❤🐶🦊🐺

Well... wait no longer, my friend! Check out the channel’s community post, there’s a short post there explaining the hiatus and the channel’s future. It’s worth it, you’ll know exactly what’s going on.

[@RANima71498]

Yay! Cartoon Karma is back! I missed you so much!!!

[@Tulf42]

Another grand video lad. My comments from this would be: 7:50 My guess is the camera shot was mirrored if they added the extra stickers in post-filming and forgot to change it back 8:05 The shoe make is "Poochi" and the music artist was "Poochini", different names so I'm not sure if this negative karma point counts Never the less glad to see you picked up the running gags and references to previous shorts Another one for you is you can see the motorcycle from A Close Shave when Gromit loads the van with bread.

[@StandupSet]

I remember watching this 30-minute cartoon Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008) on DVD in my childhood! (from the age of 5) The plot is detective, romantic, epic, a little bit of grief, and most importantly with a good ending. That's what I like more about this cartoon? This is the romance between Gromit and Fluffles! After all, Gromit and Fluffles were made for each other and Fluffles currently lives at 62 West Wallaby Street with Wallace (her new owner) and Gromit (her lover). And for sure, the Fluffles will appear in future short and full-length Wallace and Gromit cartoons! Now I am 20 years old and as a parent I recommend watching this plasticine cartoon from the age of 5! You know why. Yes, there are some mistakes, but in general everything is perfectly done! So thanks to this cartoon for my childhood!

[@kevp9601]

+Cartoon Karma, AWESOME JOB, FRIEND ! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK ! ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JoseHernandez-px1wv]

Hi, maybe a little late, but i think this deserves a positive point more because there are Extras and the world feels alive, when we all know that in the other 3 only the main characters appear at all times

[@cameronknapp7315]

It’s actually a good 😌 thing it was raining 🌧 ☔️ when Wallace was going to return Piellas purse 👛. If it wasn’t Wallace would have gone there and gotten killed by piella, but because it was, he sent gromit to do it, that didn’t happen and thus he lives. So a little stormy 🌊 ⛈ weather saved Wallace’s life.

[@nicholoswilde4252]

please do cartoon karma for wallace & gromit: the curse of the wererabbit please.

[@princeaphan8274]

Wallace and Gromit has a lot of admirable traits but I guess this episode missed the mark that the others achieved. Still though, an entertaining video nonetheless and looking forward to more content, Mike.

[@wightrabbit]

I hope you do a Cartoon Karma of Curse of The Were-rabbit, it's such a good movie and the villain is one that is threatening, but also pretty funny. He sort of fits into the universe, like he knows what this world is and decided, "I'll have some fun while it lasts"

[@SuperYouFox]

One other thing I've realized recently: A sequence at the beginning has Wallace and Gromit delivering bread, to various shops, cafés, through letterboxes on front doors and (key to this) into people's mailboxes. The only problem with this is that Wallace and Gromit is primarily set in the UK, and here in the UK, we don't have mailboxes outside our houses.

[@Justice237]

That much is true, but I'm willing to bet they went for it because it's kinda cool how a mailbox almost perfectly fits a loaf of bread and couldn't resist adding in Wallace and Gromit throwing bread right in there.

[@SuperYouFox]

@@Justice237 True.

[@motorwayt-s628]

One little detail I like that wasn’t pointed out was that Piella says Gromit bit her which makes her look even more suspicious because we never once see Gromit’s mouth in the entire series

[@Justice237]

Gromit is actually modelled completely without a mouth, as is Fluffles apart from that one scene where she actually bites Piella

[@shellman1yt516]

Great video

[@17moonbeams]

Saturday 18th July 2020. I think it's really sweet that Gromit got his girl even if Wallace didn't get his. :) Virginia Clark. :( ;)

[@Luxito_DeWarlock]

Can you plz do a karma video on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy’s Big Boogie Adventure? 🙏

[@n3bulav876]

5:49 just going to say now, it’s very weird seeing Fluffle’s teeth here, not just that, her mouth as well, not saying it’s bad, it’s just a little awkward considering how it’s the first time we see it

[@CartoonKarma]

Indeed. Once upon a time, in the channel’s earlier days, I probably would have marked that as Negative Karma. Now I better value stylistic things like that for their intended effect. After all, the mouth shapes constantly change during animation, this is barely any less reasonable for a brief moment like this.

[@Justice237]

Well how else is she meant to bite Piella without a mouth and teeth?

[@17moonbeams]

Saturday 4th February 2023. Hi Ghost Mike/Cartoon Karma! I really love your ghost symbol! It's really sweet how it smiles for good points and frowns for bad points. Have you considered doing more Disney Films? So far you have gone as far as 101 Dalmatians. I wonder if you will be doing more. Anyway thank you for sharing this with us. Bless you and best of luck in the New Year. Love from Virginia Clark.?! ;) ;( :) 😀❤👻🐕🐷🐑🐐🐺🐳.

[@nibbles6675]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAA-

[@philipshenton6677]

6:47 the bomb is in his under pants not his trousers so it makes sense

[@Justice237]

I know this video is years old and you’re probably not gonna see this or care, but I wanna say these things anyway: 1) Piella probably didn’t care too much about being caught for murdering Wallace - he completed her Baker’s Dozen, she didn’t care what happened after that. Also, she’s been getting crazier as time goes on so she’s probably not thinking straight. Also also, given that Piella has managed to kill 12 bakers without getting caught, it’s fair to say that police are useless here. 2) The shoe brand is “Poochi” (a parody of Gucci), not “Poochini” (a parody of Puccini). They’re close though. 3) I strongly disagree with Piella having no dimension - she’s actually the most fleshed out of a lot of the W&G villains, with her backstory being a sly critique of the high pressure of the modelling industry causing models to crack. Granted, you’re right that she’s doesn’t have a lot of time to have standout villain moments like Preston and Feathers, though the scene where she hits Fluffles being cut from some broadcasts for being too upsetting probably counts for something.
