Video release?


Does anyone has any information on the release of this Wallace & Gromit show on VHS or DVD? I've seen all of the Wallace & Gromit episodes except for this one, so I'm really anxious to find out!

The short is included on the new (third) DVD release of the first three WALLACE & GROMIT shorts. However, be warned: Unlike the first two DVD releases, there are no extras, and the music has been altered in THE WRONG TROUSERS. (No more "Doggy in the window" or other original music.)

Hi BijouBob8mm

The newest release in the UK (which will be out on October 3 via amazon.co.uk) doesn't mention anything about the "Cracking Contraptions" shorts...

Therefore, could you please give us an exact link to a webpage where we can buy this new DVD release?

Thanks

Here is the Amazon link for Region 1 DVD. In addition to the three Wallace & Gromit shorts, it has a look at the upcoming Wallace & Gromit feature, and a "making of" for CRACKING CONTRAPTIONS. Hope this helps:

My brother got a dvd from ebay with all these shorts on it. It was not fake or copied it was brought out on dvd by a real company. All I know is that it was only out for a few months and you could only get it on the internet?

This DVD only came out on Region 2/4 (UK, Australia). Was only available from the Aardman site for a very short time. The site mentioned that it would not be available in any other region. If you can find it on Ebay, get it!

you can find these ten short films on Google Video along with the behind the scenes. Just type "Cracking Contraptions" in the search box at http://video.google.com
