Those bozos. Why do they always stick us with inferior versions?

This was a really, really good film. I really have a hard time deciding whether this or Corpse Bride should win the Oscar. Sucks if we are not getting a two disc edition in the US.

According to davisdvd.com, Universal didn't mention in their press release that the DVD contains a commentary track from Nick Park and Steve Box.

Supplements aside, I'll have to stick with my R1 preorder because I'd like to be able to loan this one out to my two little nieces. They've become big W&G fans recently.

it may have been mentioned in this thread and i just missed the post, but Wal-mart will have a bonus disc with the Cracking Contraptions, some games, and perhaps a featurette (that part I can't remember, sorry). anyway, if you bought the last W&G three adventures disc that came out last fall, you already have cracking contraptions, so the remainder of the bonus disc may be nil...

I have the older Adventures of Wallace and Gromit disc without the shorts. I was tempted to upgrade to the newer disc but if I get the bonus disc from Walmart it looks like I won't have to.

But other than the rest of the Cracking Contraptions, it sounds like all the features that were listed as being on the R2 release are also on the R1 release, thankfully!
