When we the public were being primed for the introduction of Blu-Ray, one of the primary benefits of the greater capacity in relation to DVD was that there would be access to far more features and extras such as directors commentarys; yes they were going to be considerably more expensive than DVD but you got so much more for your money, it wasn’t just better sound and audio.
However, here we see despite the significantly higher premium over DVD, this Blu-Ray offers zero extras, not because they’re not available or won’t fit on the disc, but because Disney know many individuals will have been waiting for this disc and will pre-order, unaware of the omissions, and of course Disney will then release a ‘Special Edition’ including everything they should include now.
The sad fact is that many enthusiasts will end up buying both Blu-Rays, and it’s this disgraceful attitude towards the UK and all markets except the US which means I never buy new Blu-Rays anymore, preferring to buy them used on Amazon.
And the studios wonder why there’s such a massive market for pirated films? It’s because you’re a bunch of greedy, self-serving entities that’s why.

Not only have Disney treated their UK buyers appallingly by leaving off special features (they’ve already dropped the DVDs from their animated classics unlike the US versions) it now seems as if we get the edited version that (some) other European countries are getting. How can Disney even release a version here that wasn’t the one classified by the BBFC?
This is completely unacceptable and shows nothing more than contempt for UK customers, especially considering the movie in question.
I can understand retailer exclusives with bonus discs and steelbook packaging, but no matter where you buy it you’ll not be getting the complete movie.

Avoid, Disney have ripped off the UK,
Scenes edited, extras missing all because they rushed the UK release. Other European countries get this unedited.
Please please buy the US version which will work on your UK PS3 or Bluray player. Unedited & all the extras.
