Top 10 Types of DVD Bonus Features
In general, the special features section of DVDs (especially "special limited time only 2-disc collector's remastered edition" sets) has a lot of information. From commentaries to outtakes, here's a list of cool extras (not from specific DVDs, but in general.)My Disney's Hercules DVD has this bonus feature.
Commentaries are great for some films like I personally enjoyed the one from Donnie Darko and the making of is cute for big time movies, but deleted scenes/extended scenes are good for any genre.
The only downside is when they're offered on a DVD/Blu Ray and there's not much difference.
It's cool to see scenes that never made it into the movie. Some even clear up confusing plot points.
I'm a sucker for video games, and even though most DVD games are very simplistic trivia or puzzle games, they're still pretty fun.
One of the bonus features on my old Pollyworld DVD was the game you could play after the movie was over.
There's a game you can play on the Surf's Up DVD that's actually 3D!
The commentaries on my SpongeBob DVDs are pretty entertaning, plus you get some info on the episode's production.
Is there even such a thing as a visual commentary?
I love these! I'd never seen one until I got my Stand By Me DVD and there's one on there! It's so cool and even though its information you can find out on the internet, it's very nice to read about the cast on the DVD.
I'm probably the only one who reads these things lol
No, not the squids from Mario. Sometimes it can be pretty funny to watched failed takes. It's just the element of surprise
Can be fascinating at times.
For example, my sister's MLP dvd has an episode of Pound Puppies on it
To be honest I'm not really that adamant about learning about the cast, but if it tells more about how they act or voice rather than telling backstories of the actors I'm fine with them.
A lot of my SpongeBob DVDs have these. Its cool to see a snippet of the production!
