OK, don't laugh, but the Veggie Tales' Jonah movie has some of the best DVD special features I've ever seen on a DVD, kid or regular movie. There are THREE audio commentary tracks. The first two are the usual director/producer/animator stuff, but the third is Larry and Mr. Lunt in character doing their commentary. Man, it is funny as hell. They make pop culture references that the usual Junior God Squad Kids who watch the Veggies (or their parents for that matter) wouldn't get. Then there's bloopers, extended scenes, a trip to the animations studios that made the fil (I learned that they are located in a mall in Chicago) and lots of other stuff. I'm the last person who would recommend the Veggie Tales for kids (morals should be taught by parents, not CGI vegetables) but if you find yourself with a copy of it, watch it with Larry and Mr. Lunt's commentary on.

Oh yeah, and The Ring has the death tape as an easter egg. Press right once, then down twice until the cursor disappears then hit enter. Then it starts the tape, and disables the remote so you can't stop it until it's played all the way through. When you return to the menu, there's the sound of a phone ringing. VERY creepy. Even though I knew it was coming, it still made me jump.
