- From the Subtitles sub-menu in Set Up, press up twice to reveal a beach chair. This will play a short piece animated by Eben Ostby from 1986 which explores various CG elements with a beach chair.
- On The Short Films menu, select Boundin' and press down to highlight a hidden Luxo lamp. This will play a Luxo Jr. pencil test.
Notes[]
- On this release, the first four shorts' color saturation was remastered. In addition, the first two shorts also had minor edits from their original masters as follows:
- The Adventures of André & Wally B. was formatted in 16:9 widescreen.
- The original master of Luxo Jr. (with the original Pixar logo) uses the audio from its Toy Story 2 version and is oddly missing the David Lindup "Take a Bow" fanfare in the original Pixar logo.
- Knick Knack uses the newer version that was featured with Finding Nemo.
- All shorts have audio commentaries, with the exception of Jack-Jack Attack. That's because its audio commentary is first released on The Incredibles Blu-Ray. Its audio commentary features Brad Bird, Bret Parker, Teddy Newton, and Mark Andrews.
