Easter eggs:From the Main Menu, select “Special Features”. An easter egg is hidden in each corner of the central "frame" (LP record playing on turrntable). They are easy to find if playing the DVD on a PC, but you may need to experiment to find the correct control sequence if using a stand-alone player/remote control:
1. Press Book: This contains multiple text files from the Electronic Press Kit plus filmographies, credits, production statements etc.
2. Short Films: 6 short and disturbing bits of timelapse photography from the film.
3. Storyboards: 20 handdrawn images from the storyboards of the snail sequence.
4. Gallery: Photo Gallery

OVERALL: Draw
Between the R2 and R4 editions. The R4 review states the aspect ratio as 1.85:1 (both R2s are OAR 1.66:1) and the soundtrack as stereo (both R2s are mono). In all other respects, the R4 seems to be a direct port of the R2 UK, right down to the easter eggs.
This has also been released in:
