Nearly six minutes of deleted scenes continue the onslaught on disc one along with two audio commentaries, one from the animation crew, the other from the director and some of his staff. The option is also there to watch the film with pop-up trivia facts.

Disc two is headed by "Diamond on the Rough," a nearly two hour documentary that covers almost every single aspect of the film, from the false start to the clean-up animation. Disney does a great job with this documentary, allowing you to watch it all at once, or pick it apart and watch any of 30+ segments individually. A separate featurette is "Alan Menken: Musical Renaissance Man." This is a 20-minute look at, well, Alan Menken and his music for the film.

Splitting off from that huge pack of features is another section on the art of the film. "Art Review" looks at some of the concepts and finished work for about 8-minutes and the still gallery is self-explanatory. Publicity features trailers and posters, including some for the two sequels, "Return of Jafar" and "King of Thieves." Kids can have some fun with the various games like "3 Wishes" which tells their fortune or take a trip through the Genie's lamp. Though it doesn't seem like that much here, this is a truly exhaustive look at the making of animated feature, one that will likely overwhelm you when the discs enter your player. (*****)

There has yet to be a dud in this Platinum line of DVD's. If you have any interest at all in the Disney films, each one of these four discs (Beauty and Beast, Lion King, Snow White, Aladdin) is a benchmark. It's not just the special features either. Hearing "Snow White" with a fully remixed soundtrack is something to behold. Things will likely only get better with "Bambi" next year.
