The concept art was the only really cool extra but it wasnt enough. The making of's were the worst. I can remember a long time ago seeing a lot of other making of's featuring Oliver Co. that were a whole lot more informative than the clip fests they have on this disc! Why not have used the Disney Channel special The Magic of Disney Animation(i think that was the title but I not sure ). It featured a truly extensive look at the animation procees & included a large bulk of Oliver & Co production work among other Disney animated films( I had it taped a long time ago but my tape is now very wornout). I'm afraid this doesnt bode well for the upcoming Great Mouse Detective DVD, hopefully they will do a better job on that one(yeah, right).
