Awesome a/v breakdown. If Disney do the same for Finding Nemo, I will be in dvd heaven.
On that note, if you wouldn't mind answering a quick question. When I get the DVD and put it in my player and load the menu and all that, if I just press play on the main menu, what will happen? On the Beauty and the Beast DVD (which has three cuts of the film) if I do that it automatically defaults to the special edition. Since with Beauty and the Beast I prefer the special edition, it doesn't really matter to me there, but I still wish they had had a second menu that pops up upon pressing play asking to select a version (kind of like selecting WS or P&S for Sleeping Beauty) instead of me having to go to the setup menu and pick. Is this done on The Lion King? If not, which cut does it default to? I'm hoping you'll say it defaults to the theatrical version but I have an awful lurking suspicion that it's the other way around -- be honest! Which one is it?Your suspicians are correct...pressing "play" starts the special edition. One must go to the set-up menu to explicity root-out the theatrical cut.
BTW, I agree with your thoughts...I'd like a "prompt" splash screen that asks me which version I'd like to view after I hit the "play" button.
You and I also see eye-to-eye about the morning report inclusion. Are we brothers?
Oh...haven't had a chance to compare commentary to the CAV LD (I don't own it) but I'll comment once I get a chance (a friend has it) and anyone else feel free to chime in!
