Toy Story Trilogy - missing extras?

[IndyMLVC]

Did anyone ever do a comprehensive comparison between the various DVD (and laserdisc) versions of the Toy Story films and the Blu-ray to see what was missing?

I remember The Digital Bits mentioning that a few small things were missing but I was wondering what they were.

Anyone?

I found this from http://www.pixartalk.com/2010/03/tsblu-reviews/ :

What’s Missing?: Again, most of the special features are included. The only missing feature from the 10th Anniversary is a John Lasseter video introduction. The documentary (The Story Behind Toy Story) from the Ultimate Toy Box is not included (but most of the material was reused in the The Making of Toy Story except for a few choice bits with the voice actors). Other missing items from the Ultimate Toy Box are isolated soundtracks for each film, the featurettes “History & Development” (3:40), “Character Animation” (4:35), “Shaders and Lighting” (2:17), “Building a Shot” (1:18), Multi-angle Progressions (“The Chase”), The “Claw” game, Render “Bug” clips, two text based early story treatments and few other various text based features (biographies, etc.). It would also have been nice if they would have decided to include a digital copy (like the last few releases had).

Plus, there are more "Toy Story Treats" shorts in the Ultimate Toy Box set than on the Blu-Ray sets. I still kick myself for selling that boxed set off.

So basically all you need is that 3rd disc and you're good?

Shortly after I bought the BDs, I picked up the Ultimate Toy Box and planned on making an inventory of all that was included/excluded. I got about half way before I stopped and never resumed work on it. As mentioned, there are a lot of little bits and pieces that were dropped. Probably the most notable being the Making Of, and the Toy Story Treats. The Toy Story Treats were on Disc 1 (the Toy Story movie-disc).

Any. All.

Did you get your answer? If not, I own the Ultimate Toy Box Collection and I can check what each disc has for you.

As Monterey Jack mentioned, the BD includes some, but not all of them.

If I'm reading correctly, to have all extras, you would need:

1. All 3 BD SE's(3D or 2D-extras the same)

2. Ultimate Toy Box DVD set of TS and TS2 from 2000

3. Toy Story 10th Anniversary DVD(if you want the Lasseter intro)


I still can't understand why we keep seeing Blu-rays with missing special features. With BD's capacity, there is no reason for it. What makes the studio people just randomly decide which extras to leave off?

I took another look at my Ultimate Toy Box set.

Here are the highlights of what's missing:

TOY STORY

From DISC 1:
- Isolated Sound Effects Track
- "Tin Toy" short (found on the Pixar Shorts BD)
- "The Story Behind ‘Toy Story’" (27:12) documentary, much of the footage is re-edited into the 20-minute “Making Toy Story” piece on the BD
- 1 of the on-set "character interviews" is missing (an Entertainment Tonight type host asks Woody & Buzz some questions)
- Toy Story Treats: only 14 of the 52 make it onto the BD

From DISC 3:
- History & Development: the BD is missing a 4-min featurette, a 30-sec early test, 2 story drafts (text) with a 30-sec intro, production notes, and cast bios
- Design: the BD only features some of the extensive design galleries and re-edits them into video slideshows. Additionally, the BD leaves off early animation tests w/ commentary for several characters, a 3-min Woody featurette, about 2 min of video from the Buzz section
- Story: The BD is missing some text notes on editing, and a 2-min abandoned concept called "The Chase"
- Computer Animation: The BD is missing a good deal of the more technical features. This included a 5-min featurette on character animation, a 2-minute piece and text supplements on "shaders and lighting", a 1-min "building a shot" video bit, a multi-angle "production progression" of a scene, and a text/video gallery on special effects.
- Music & Sound: the BD only misses a Randy Newman text bio
- Deleted Animation: from here, the BD just misses about a minute worth of rendering glitches.

TOY STORY 2:

From DISC 2:
- Isolated sound effects track is missing
- "Luxo, Jr" short

From DISC 3:
- History: Production notes, cast bios
- Design: Again, the BD doesn't include all of the images from the various galleries
- Story: the BD drops multi-angle storyboard-to-film comparisons for "Woody's Nightmare" and "Jessie's Song"
- Computer Animation: The BD drops a multi-angle production progression of a scene
- Music & Sound: The BD drops a sound demo of a 90-sec clip with different audio layers
- The Toy Box: The BD drops some text supplements such as hidden jokes

I have a somewhat more detailed list if anyone's interested.

I don't get it either. It can't be to increase sales for the older discs, because by then, they're usually in the remainder bins or else being traded on the seconday market, thus none of the profits would go to the studios. Maybe they only have the rights to the extras for one release and have to renew them for another disc, but that seems excessively unlikely to me. It just aggrivates me that Blu is supposed to have a lot more storage space for extras than DVD did, and yet we keep getting bare-bones Blu releases for titles that were loaded with extras on DVD, and not even in any discernable pattern...why does a 20th Century Fox title like, say, From Hell, only get the extras from the first disc of the DVD (commentary, deleted scenes) on Blu, while the Blu of another Fox title like The Fly gets EVERYTHING from the 2-disc DVD, right down to the Easter Eggs?

Makes ZERO sense to me.
