Trivia [ ]
The 2001 Disney DVD logo makes a very strange appearance on the international Collectors Edition DVD prints.
The 2003 Collector's Edition DVD is the last release to contain both the original second screen of the FBI Warning (This DVD is for private home viewing only), and the "Mastered and duplicated for optimal audio and video performance" message before the THX Tex trailer.
