Trivia [ ]
For the Lilo & Stitch trailer, the VHS uses the Aladdin variant, while the DVD uses the Beauty and the Beast variant.
The Beauty and the Beast Special Edition trailers are different on both the VHS and DVD release.
The VHS release of the film is the final release to have the "Coming Soon To Theaters from Disney & Pixar" bumper. The DVD uses the normal "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper instead.
This is also the final VHS release where Brian Cummings reads "And now, our feature presentation." in a cheerful tone of voice.
The VHS release is the first and only VHS to feature the THX Tex 2: Moo Can trailer. The sound mix is the same as the Toy Story 2: Ultimate Toy Box DVD, albeit down-mixed to 2.0 stereo instead of using 5.1 surround audio. In this sound mix, the logo is slightly louder, more mooing sounds are added in, and Tex's grunting when he sees the THX logo tremble is muted, and the moo noise at the end is heard when "YOU'RE WATCHING A THX CERTIFIED FEATURE" fades in, like the standard variant.
