It is certainly understandable that Disney would want to provide enticing content for their newly launched line of Blu-ray titles, and I get the technical reasons as to why the �D-List� was not on both versions.. However, surely they could have at least included some kind of �pop-up trivia� feature for the standard release; it�s starting to feel a lot like the old days of VHS and Laser Discs, when all the good stuff was saved for the higher-end (and higher-priced) products.
