Really? So far all we can assume is missing is the U-Control, Picture in Picture and the Second Screen Experience. I wouldn't call that "way less then the US release" at all.

Spanish subtitles are marked on the back and I'm pretty sure they were on the disc menu when I checked. It is also region free, as confirmed further up the thread.

u control is a must have

U-Control, Picture in Picture (HD): Somewhat short but informative bursts of behind-the-scenes footage, pre and post-production materials, and cast and crew interviews fill this Picture-in-Picture track, all of which fans will happily gobble up.

you say all the extras that is on the US release is on the UK release:

Theatrical Version and Extended Edition: Two versions of the film are included, a 127-minute theatrical cut and a 131-minute extended edition. The extended version doesn't offer an abundance of new scenes, but those it does are in keeping with the tone and aesthetic of the film.

Audio Commentary: Director Rupert Sanders, visual effects supervisor Cedric Nicolas-Troyan and co-editor Neil Smith work their way through the film, touching on anything and everything that might arouse the curiosity of diligent listeners. Casting, performances, set construction, costume design, visual effects, and the adaptation itself are thoroughly examined, as are the tone, style and intentions behind the filmmakers' key (and not so key) decisions.

U-Control, Picture in Picture (HD): Somewhat short but informative bursts of behind-the-scenes footage, pre and post-production materials, and cast and crew interviews fill this Picture-in-Picture track, all of which fans will happily gobble up.

Second Screen Experience: A second, more interactive experience is available via your tablet or PC after downloading the pocket BLU app and syncing it with your playback of the film.

Around the Kingdom: 360° Set Tour (HD): Explore the film's Pinewood Studios sets, reconstructed from panoramic photographs for your viewing pleasure. Locations include "King Magnus' Courtyard," "Village Near Castle Tabor," "Duke Hammond's Castle Encampment," "Queen Raveena's Throne Room" and "Queen Raveena's Mirror Room."

A New Legend is Born (HD, 21 minutes): Sanders, producer Joe Roth and notable members of the cast and crew chime in on the production, the story and characters, Sanders' approach, the costumes, the film's blend of history, fantasy archetypes and other versions of Snow White, and more.

Reinventing the Fairy Tale (HD, 6 minutes): A look at the film's use of fairy tale elements, imagery and themes, as well as the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White, to create a new adaptation of a classic story. (Also featured: clips from Sanders' "Tone Poem," a proof-of-concept reel used to sell the studio on the project.

Citizens of the Kingdom (HD, 23 minutes): Up next, four EPK-style character featurettes - "Fairest of Them All: Snow White," "Deliciously Evil: Queen Ravenna," "The Huntsman" and, the best of the bunch, "Motley Crew: The Dwarves."

The Magic of Snow White and the Huntsman (HD, 13 minutes): Visual effects breakdowns, concept art, animatics and other step-by-step goodies are used to dissect and detail the film's FX.

I figured they'd just move the U-Control stuff to it's own seperate submenu, in the form of featurettes. So they basically replicated the same US disc?

[Dharma572]

Mine has arrived from Play. Lovely slipcover!!!

[Walt Dizzy]

Could you please also check if there is German language on it? Thanks in advance!

[NicofromFrance]

Are there French subtitles? Thank you!!!

[Dharma572]

Audio: English, French, Spanish, Japanese

Subtitles: English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch.

No German audio I'm afraid.

Is the Spanish dub Castellano or Latino?

I'm really starting to dislike Universal UK. It's a gamble buying any of their Blu-ray's these days, you don't know what you're going to get. Not only do they seem to have a random method of copying US releases or not (Battleship and the First American Pie are not US copies, American Reunion and Snow White and the Huntsman are for example) but their pre-release publicity and packaging frequently leave off special features.

Each and every UK Blu-ray cover has a 'Blu.ray Exclusive' section, and they can't even be bothered to list the Blu-ray exclusives in it! As a result every single Universal UK release is a gamble. Should I get the UK disc, or the US disc? Based on the information from Universal you don't have a clue. I prefer to buy locally - not only is it cheaper but it makes sense to support the local company, but they're not making it easy!

Sadly, my US copy is already in the post. Well done Universal UK, another lost sale.
