It seems that there were indeed two different BBC DVDs. Because I have my
_W & G_ DVD in a jewel case, I had to go to the closet and dig out the box.

The actual title of this DVD is _Aardman presents Wallace & Gromit the First
Three Adventures_. (This would also explain why my box doesn't match any of
the previous website pictures that I have found.)

There is also some confusion as to the actual name of this DVD, but I
finally found it, under the title _Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman
Animation_ (1996). My box looks exactly like the one pictured here:

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0118114/

Also Known As:
Wallace & Gromit
Wallace & Gromit: The First Three Adventures (USA)

The ISBN is 0-86162-12596-6

The box says: CBS/Fox Video and BBC Video.

The box reference to http://www.aardman.com works and it is the craziest
website that I have ever seen.

The box reference to www.wallaceandgromitdvd.com is a dead link.
