Great movie, but beware scant UK DVD extras

THE ABOVE RATING APPLIES TO THE DVD CONTENT, NOT THE ACTUAL MOVIE!
THE MOVIE:
One of Disney's most under-rated classics, 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' is a movie that definitely deserves another look.
THE DVD:
The main purpose of this review is to highlight this stripped-down DVD. The special features presented here are a seemingly random selection ported over from the old laser-disc: 1 deleted song (there were 3 on the laser-disc), a brief demo of the CG effects in the movie, a very short discussion on how the movie got put into production (nothing about the actual production of the movie), an early presentation reel (stills of production art set to a demo of the song "Out There"), a history of Notre Dame (screens of static text) and a game - all very short with very little real insight into the production of the movie.
The US (Region 1) version of this release contains a feature-length audio commentary by the producer and directors, often the gem of DVD special features for those interested in how films are actually made, and a 30-minutes 'Making of' featurette covering story, animation, music, etc. THESE ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS UK (REGION 2) DVD. If you are really interested in how this film was produced, and have a DVD player capable of playing Region 1 DVDs, then I would recommend that you avoid this DVD and purchase the Region 1 DVD instead.
