This is a complaint against Disney/Pixar and a warning to buyers related SOLELY to the 1 disc DVD edition and NOT to the film itself -- which is 5* brilliant.
I do not have an HDTV or a BluRay player and have no intent to get one. When I looked at the three versions of UP there was BluRay, the 1 disc and a 2 disc version which cost $12 more for a "free" digital copy. Since I didn't need that, I was happy to buy the 1 disc version assuming they were the same thing less digital. WRONGO!!!
When I got it home I discovered the 1 disc version is as bare bones as they come.
NO booklet(!), NO DVD commentary(!), NO outtakes(!)...in fact the only extras are Dug's Adventure and the Pixar short about the stork and the cloud (which is adorable and reminded me of Dumbo's Mr Stork). I know Disney is all about the Benjamins, but still I cannot believe that Disney/Pixar is so cheap that they couldn't bother releasing all the DVD extras to ALL editions of this film as they used to do. Why should I have to buy a 2 disc version with a "free" digital copy of the film when I don't need one just to get the rest of the extras?
Not sure what my advice to you would be except to say if you want the whole package and don't have BluRay player, I guess you gotta spring for the 2 disc + digital version. Bad form Disney/Pixar...very bad form indeed. Get more detail about Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray].
