OVERALL: Draw

All the releases appear to contain unique extras, but only the R1 BBC release, the R1 Fox re-release (under the title "Wallace and Gromit: Three Amazing Adventures"), the R1 Lionsgate/Alliance release, and the R2 UK SE release from the BBC come with commentary.

Do note, however, that these three releases suffer the worst amount of music altering/edits. Only the 1999 R1 Fox release contains the original music. Also note, the R1 releases have low-pitched audio except for the BBC release which unfortunately is a PAL-NTSC transfer and the 5.1 track on the Shout! release(s), although the Aardman fanfare in high-pitched (the 2.0 stereo track has the dialogue in the correct pitch, but the music and sound effects still low).

General Notes:
The original BBC UK broadcast: Gromit's Birthday card plays the song "Happy Birthday". Later when the Penguin is playing organ music from Gromit's radio, two of the songs are "Happy Talk" and "How Much is that Doggy in the Window?" The music for these however can still be heard underneath the audio commentary on the R1 BBC and R2 SE releases.
