Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- Possible double entendre: Piella brings and offers Wallace what she calls "Cock-A-Leekie" soup.
- In a brief montage sequence, we see Piella molding a pile of bread dough (with Wallace struggling to keep up) in a suggestive manner.
- Contains some innocuous flirting and innuendo.
- Wallace's bare buttocks are shown briefly for 5-10 sec after his pants were filled up with high pressure dough due to a bomb being stuck in his pants and eventually detonating, thus suppressing the explosion.
Violence & Gore
-
- a total of 13 characters are killed in this movie, only one is onscreen and another is just heard but not shown.
- Contains some animated action violence and dark murder mystery elements.
- At the beginning of the film, a baker is killed by an unknown culprit and is bludgeoned to death with his own rolling pin.
- Piella and her dog, Flufflles, nearly get eaten by crocodiles at the zoo.
- During her relationship with Wallace, Piella intentionally hurts herself in front of Gromit and blames Gromit for her injury to get Wallace to berate at him.
- Piella treats her dog, Fluffles, very badly.
- Due to Piella interrupting his relationship with Wallace and modifying the house to make it look girlish, Gromit goes on a fit of rage and nearly goes to a point of destroying the decorations.
- Wallace gets a bomb stuck to his pants, and enters a state of panic as he begs Gromit to find a way to get rid of the bomb. Gromit and Fluffles inflate Wallace's pants with dough at high pressure, As the bomb explodes, a huge explosion destroys part of the factory, but does not kill Wallace.
Profanity
-
- "heck" is used several times.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- the scene where Gromit arrives at Piella's house at night may be frightening for some.
- This is the only scene where Gromit acts aggressivly (smashing flowers and shaking his fists) This uncharacteristic behavour may shock long time fans and frighten younger veiwers.
- Theme of serial killing may be a little intense for younger viewers, as the antagonist, a serial killer, who has an arbitrary loathing for bakers, wishes to complete her "baker's dozen" by claiming her 13th victim (i.e. Wallace). In typical comedic fashion however, she is unsuccessful.
- Children may also be upset or frightened by the antagonist's various attempts to kill Wallace.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The main antagonist, Piella Bakewell, is a serial killer, in which she has killed 12 bakers (In her mansion, each kill is signified by a baker's hat representing the baker she has killed). Initially, she starts out as a friendly, kind person. She starts a romantic relationship with Wallace, who is smitten with her. However, Gromit discovers that she is actually a serial killer, and her actual intentions are to kill Wallace, and become her 13th victim.
- Towards the end of the film, Piella, in a hot air balloon, due to her weight, descends to her doom in a crocodile den in the zoo and we hear off-screen that she is eaten and killed by crocodiles, indicated by a burp sound, though nothing graphic is shown.
