• Audio Commentary with Director Rob Cohen - same commentary track as on the BD-100.

• The Making of DragonHeart (46:35 in total, upconverted to 1080i) - Home video documentarian Laurent Bouzereau produced this multipart doc in '96. It's divided into segments on the popup menu: "The Genesis of the Project," "The Collaboration with Phil Tippett," "The Cast," "Production," "The Special Effects," "The Collaboration with ILM" "Music and Editing," and "In Closing." Shout! provides a "PLAY ALL" option. Interviewed are Cohen, producer Raffaella De Laurentiis, story writer/executive producer Patrick Read Johnson, screenwriter Charles Edward Pogue, visual effects designer Phil Tippett, Dina Meyer (Kara), David Thewlis (Einon), visual effects producer Judith Weaver, visual effects supervisor Scott Squires, Dennis Quaid (Bowen), and composer Randy Edelman. Cohen receives the most air time. He discusses several of the filmmaking phases in relation to DragonHeart. The most interesting part is when he recounts communicating with ILM's animators via satellite broadcast while taking a break from filming Daylight (1996) in Rome. The doc shows B-roll footage of DragonHeart's shoot and behind-the-scenes material of Cohen speaking with ILM's animation crew. Clips from DragonHeart are presented in letterboxed 2.35:1. The interviews are shown in full frame. All interviewees speak in English without subtitles. (The Making of... on the CE DVD has optional English SDH as well as French and Spanish subtitles.)

• Outtakes (2:36, upconverted to 1080i) - two additional scenes omitted from the final cut. They first appeared on the LD and are presented in 2.35:1 non-anamorphic widescreen. In English, not subtitled.

• (3:25, upconverted to 1080i) - two vintage Universal trailers: the first is a theatrical trailer (2:00) displayed in about 1.33:1; second a teaser trailer (1:25) shown in letterboxed 2.35:1.
