<P> The vehicle Wallace drives in the film is an Austin A35 van . In collaboration with Aardman in the spring of 2005, a road going replica of the model was created by brothers Mark and David Armé, founders of the International Austin A30 / A35 Register, for promotional purposes . In a 500 - man - hour customisation, an original 1964 van received a full body restoration, before being dented and distressed to perfectly replicate the model van used in the film . The official colour of the van is Preston Green, named in honour of Nick Park's home town . The name was chosen by the art director and Mark Armé . </P> <P> For the United States edition of the film, the dialogue was changed to refer to Gromit's prize marrow as a "melon". Because the word "marrow" is not well known in the United States, Jeffrey Katzenberg insisted it be changed . Park explained "Because it's the only appropriate word we could find that would fit with the mouth shape for' marrow' . Melon apparently works over there . So we have Wallace saying,' How's your prize melon?"'. This version is also heard in the United Kingdom bootleg DVD release, and when viewed on Netflix in the United Kingdom . However, the original marrow line can still be heard on Cartoon Network airings of the film in the United States . </P> <P> The film had its worldwide premiere on 4 September 2005, in Sydney, Australia . It was theatrically released in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the United States on 14 October 2005 . The DVD edition of the film was released on 7 February 2006 (United States) and 20 February 2006 (United Kingdom). </P> <P> In Region 2, the film was released in a two disc special including Cracking Contraptions, plus a number of other extras . In Region 1, the film was released on DVD in Widescreen and Fullscreen versions and VHS on 7 February 2006 . Wal - Mart stores carried a special version with an additional DVD, "Gromit's Tail - Waggin' DVD" which included the test shorts made for this production . </P>
