Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman Animations 1996 theatrical release

Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman Animations 1996 theatrical release

Back in December 1996, at our local town's weekly International Film Series, the featured movie that week was "Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman Animations". It was an anthology film comprised of some of their short films. Prior to that, I'd never heard of Aardman Studios or Wallace & Gromit, but that was the trigger which ignited my love and devotion for those films. From that point on, I was hooked and a fan for life.

Recently, I was just thinking about that specific theatrical release, and was hoping to find information about it. I found this webpage with info and a listing of the shorts included in the film, which tracks with my memory, so I know I have the right one: https://watch.plex.tv/movie/wallace-and-gromit-the-best-of-aardman-animations

I can't find any other info on this release. I can't find where it may have been released on video. My question is, does anyone else remember seeing this in the theater back in 1996? And most importantly to me, can anyone tell me the proper running order of the shorts? The only one I remember for sure is that "A Close Shave" was, of course, the main feature and was the last one. I would just love to know the original order in which these were arranged in the film. Thanks!

Bug in ReAmp for Mac

I am really enjoying this on my Mac, but there's one big issue. Every few songs or so, it just won't play that song for some reason. There's no pattern, rhyme, or reason. It will play fine for, say, 4 songs, then not play the next one. The only thing to do is to quit and then just restart. Then that song that wouldn't play before will play just fine. It will then be fine for several more songs until it happens again. Has anyone else experienced this?

Whatever happened to Classic Red Hots Albasha?

This was my favorite restaurant in the St. Louis area. Their lamb kabsa was top notch, and they had the best french fries I ever had. It was a tiny hole in the wall, and was just the best little place ever. I was planning on returning there this summer (I live more than 3 hours away so I could only make the pilgrimage once or twice a year) but recently found out they closed at some point. Can anyone tell me when, and why? I assume they just retired, perhaps?

Are there any good organic restaurants in Rockford or surrounding area?

I'm coming into town Monday for an early afternoon medical appointment, and would like to find somewhere to eat lunch. My diet is a bit limited at the moment and I have to watch what I eat. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good organic restaurant that is open for lunch on Mondays. Thanks!

Restaurant with cumin lamb?

I'll be coming over to the Peoria area this weekend and was hoping to get some cumin lamb. The place where I would usually get it, Ginger Asian Bistro in Pekin, appears to be permanently closed, according to Google Maps. This bums me out. I always had good luck there. The other place where I would sometimes get it was Chang's Wok Inn. Is that place still open, and do they still have that dish? And are there any other Chinese restaurants in the area that have cumin lamb? Thanks!

Best and safest hard drive enclosure to connect 24TB hard drive to Mac Mini?

I have an M1 Mac Mini, and I just purchased a 24TB WD Red Pro hard drive. I had researched which would be the best enclosure to get, and I'd had my mind set on this one: https://www.newegg.com/p/3C6-005Y-029G7

I thought it would be a good choice because it has a cooling fan. However, I realized later that there is only a 20TB capacity for each hard drive. I don't necessarily need a two (or more) bay enclosure; I'm not going to set up a RAID array. I simply want to be able to connect this one 24TB drive to my Mac Mini. Could anyone recommend a good and safe enclosure for this? Is there another model out there with a cooling fan that would support 24TB? What solutions have any of you used? Thank you very much for any good information and advice you have, I appreciate it.

Looking for a good USB hub to connect external hard drives

Just wondering what other Mac users would recommend. I recently had an external drive fail on me and I am beginning to suspect it's because the hub I had it hooked to was a cheap, unpowered one. Could someone recommend a good model that would be safe to hook up external hard drives to? Thanks!

Searching for the proper enclosure module for hard drive

This is a follow-up to my original post: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1tqfiwy/what_is_the_most_reliable_external_hard_drive/

I believe I’m leaning toward spending the money and getting a WD Red Pro drive. I have a Mac Mini, so mounting it internally is obviously not an option. I simply want to use it as an external hard drive, and I’m looking for the proper kind of enclosure module that would allow me to leave it hooked up continuously and not worry about it. I’ve been searching and this one seems like a good bet: https://www.newegg.com/p/3C6-005Y-029G7

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this company or this model in particular and if it’s what you would recommend. Could I leave it hooked up continuously with no worries? The one drawback seems that the fan might be a bit noisy. I would definitely appreciate any insight, information, and advice. Thank you again.

How to increase playlist font size on Mac version?

I am using version 3.0.23 (updated to the latest version as I type this) on my Mac, Tahoe 26.4.1. The font size on my audio playlist is extremely small, and I can find no way to increase it. The only option for increasing font size is for subtitles, which doesn't apply in this case. I've been searching online for the answer and it has been fruitless. I found some solutions for PC users, but not Mac. Could anyone help me? Thanks.
