The last two shorts in this area are my favorites on the disc. “The Restoration” (2:56) entails the laborious process to make Sleeping Beauty look as good as it did for this release, hosted by the supervisor Aaron Dem. I laud Disney for the next one: a “Widescreen to Pan-and-Scan Comparison” (3:50) with Andreas Deja explaining the difference between the two, and then an actual comparison using the full “Once Upon A Dream” sequence from the movie. Not only is this great for those who are uneducated about the subject, but its also great to directly see just how much gets cut from the original aspect ratio (don't worry about my curse on the pan-and-scan version on Disc 1 – nobody will touch it after seeing this, and if they do, they deserve to die . . . only joking, silly.)

I found this one was just plain boring. The end of the game is just a clip from the movie of Prince Phillip fighting Maleficent and kissing Aurora.

You could be like Cinderella, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Aurora, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, or Jasmine from Aladdin.
