I was wondering if anybody can confirm if the commentaries on the individual short DVDs that are just listed as "Nick Park" are really new ones with just him, or if they are the previous commentaries with him and the other crew.

That aside, with the upcoming 4-pack of all 4 shorts, I was trying to see what a master list of bonus features would be if one wanted to compile a definitive collection.

The main problem is that if I just want to watch a short, I know where to find them, but am getting tired of trying to remember which features are on what discs when I want to watch something, so was trying to figure out a master list of sorts.

So, this is what I think would be as near as possible to a complete set of extras, counting extas from "Their First Three Adventures", "The Incredible Adventures of...", "Wallace & Gromit in Three Amazing Adventures" and "Gromit's Tail Waggin' DVD", as I don't believe that the most recent "Wallace & Gromit: Three Amazing Adventures" DVD had anything new except for a couple of Shaun the Sheep episodes. I also did not include the "How to Draw Gromit" or activity sheet features of the Gromit DVD as they really aren't features about the claymation Wallace & Gromit features.

BTW - This list assumes that you already have the "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" DVD.

- Video Introduction with Nick Park
- "A Grand Day Out" (with commentary)
- "The Wrong Trousers" (with commentary)
- "A Close Shave" (with commentary)
- 10 Cracking Contraptions

- "The Amazing World of Wallace & Gromit" featurette
- "Inside The Wrong Trousers" featurette (25 min. version)
- "A Close Shave: How it Was Done" featurette
- "Behind-the-Scenes of Wallace & Gromit in Cracking Contraptions" featurette

- "Sneak Peak at Wallace & Gromit's First Feature-Length Film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit"
- "The Making of the Were-Rabbit"

- 3 early Nick Park shorts
- 3 animation tests
- 9 BBC Christmas interstitials

- Storyboards for "A Close Shave" and "The Wrong Trousers"
- Photo Gallery & Blueprints of Inventions
- Production Biographies
- Text History of Aardman

So, is there anything that I really missed?

how about indicating the music changes that I've been hearing about.

Right. In The Wrong Trousers, Gromit's birthday card originally played Happy Birthday, but was changed to For He's a Jolly Good Fellow to avoid the royalty payment of Happy Birthday.

(My favorite running joke on an episode of Sports Night, was--It took two people to write the song Happy Birthday??)
