The extras on the first DVD in the two-disc set are the same as in its prior release. The first disc contains two interactive games and a music video featuring Belle (Beauty and the Beast) which functions as a sneak peek of a different Enchanted Tales DVD.
It is the second disc, which is simply held in a cardboard sleeve and stuck to the back of the main DVD's case, which is new for this release. This bonus disc contains a less than five-minute look at Disney's upcoming theatrical release, The Princess and the Frog. The preview certainly does a great job whetting one's appetite for that film as it does seem like a return to tradition for the Mouse House. The bonus disc also contains a Cinderella music video and one featuring Mulan. Just as with the Belle video on the main disc, they serve as promotions for other Enchanted Tales DVDs.
If one already owns the first release of Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams there seems like little reason to, based on the bonus features, go for a double-dip. However, the younger set will almost certainly enjoy watching more tales featuring two beloved princesses. And, with a concerted effort being made on the part of Disney to have the princesses as stronger, more assertive and in-control characters than they have sometimes been portrayed in films, parents looking for better messages to help impart to their children should find themselves at least slightly mollified. The stories are aimed more squarely at the younger set than Disney's feature films, but it's a mark that the studio has unquestionably hit here.
