Exclamation OMG! Are Disney finally including the original theatrical audio & BD-Live in Europe?

I've just spotted THIS review of the French Blu-ray of Snow White. The link uses Google Translate to translate the first page of the review into English.

According to the review, as well as an English DTS HD MA 7.1 track, the BD appears to include a "Restored English Mono" track!

AFAIK this is the FIRST time that Disney have EVER included an option for the original theatrical audio on a home video release outside North America!?

I'm aware that these original audio tracks aren't always as "original" as you might think or expect but it's always bothered me how they were never included on European releases even when they were present on the equivalent North American release.

Also one of the menu screenshots in the review clearly shows an option for BD-Live!

Again, AFAIK this is the first Disney title outside the US to include any BD-Live functionality. Oddly, Disney don't seem to be publicising this fact at all!?

I'd have thought the launch of their BD-Live service outside America would have been announced with great fanfare? Strange.

Anyhoo, I'm thrilled that with this title Disney saw fit to give us Europeans a release that appears to match, spec for spec and feature for feature, the US release.

I'm hopeful that this is the start of a formal policy shift at Disney regarding their European Blu-ray releases and not a one off?

Identical specs and content across all territories is surely a good thing, no?
