OVERALL: Draw
The UK 3-Disc releases have an English DTS track and the best set of extras; however, it misses the "Sharktank Redemption" parody found on some of the Warner Bros. release.
The Warner Bros. US 2-disc, US 3-disc, Australian Special Edition, and Chinese Collector's Edition has a good selection of extras including the "Sharktank Redemption" short. -
