Wallace and Gromit rise again

I watched Nick Parks newest Wallace and Gromit short last night - A Matter of Loaf and Death (cue appropriately dramatic and scary music).I love Wallace and Gromit, the writers have a brilliantly wry and British sense of humour - and as my friend points out, they actually create a storyline which works without taking itself too seriously. The amount of attention to detail and the painstaking effort required to film it frame by frame is worthy of our appreciation in itself. How is it that they can convey more expression via modelling clay than most computer-generated animations seem able to do?(excepting some Disney and/or Pixar films - I won't concede all.)
The best bit for me is the waking up of Wallace scene, with a *new and improved* bakery-incorporated method of getting Wallace out of bed and into his trousers (literally). My glee amplified when the contraption played an extra starring role later in the clip.
A bit floury, very nutty and very well done.
