Looking back, the 1995 LaserDisc commentary on The Lion King would be Disney's oldest for an animated film, while 2017's Blu-Ray commentary on Moana is Disney's most recent, although many latter-day DACs do not have an audio commentary. However, the animators for Tangled recorded an unofficial commentary for their film, released through The Animation Podcast in 2012:

The Animation Podcast: Tangled - Amy Smeed, Adam Dykstra, Jennifer Hager, Miyuki Kanno-Long, Adam Green, Daniel Peixe, John Wong, Zach Parrish, Marlon Nowe, Doug Bennett, Joel Reid, Mark Mitchell, Kira Lehtomaki, Patrick Osborne, Darrin Butters, Becky Bresee, Chris Cordingly, Chadd Ferron, Clay Kaytis, John Kahrs, Chad Sellers, Jason Figliozi, and Malcon Pierce

Finally, not to toot my own horn, but unofficial fan commentaries for Disney films without commentaries can also be found for the following films: (we've also covered some Disney films with commentaries, but I'm only linking to those without)

The Three CommentEARS: Fun and Fancy Free - Albert Gutierrez, Pedro Hernandez, and Kelvin Cedeño (2017)

The Three CommentEARS: The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad - Albert Gutierrez, Pedro Hernandez, Kelvin Cedeño, and Tony Lopez (2014)

The Three CommentEARS: Alice in Wonderland - Pedro Hernandez and Kelvin Cedeño (2016)

The Three CommentEARS: The Sword in the Stone - Albert Gutierrez, Pedro Hernandez, and Kelvin Cedeño (2013)

The Three CommentEARS: Robin Hood - Albert Gutierrez, Pedro Hernandez, and Kelvin Cedeño (2013)

The Three CommentEARS: Hercules - Albert Gutierrez, Pedro Hernandez, and Kelvin Cedeño (2014)

The podcast is currently on hiatus.

Moana has a commentary by Musker and Clements as well.

My dvds of huncback, Pocahontas and Lilo and Sitch has no commentaries.

So i have now bought the American Blu Ray of Hunchback. Because it's not available on european editions.

And soon i will buy the 10th anniversary edition dvd of Pocahontas,

Just a quick warning, the Pinocchio Cine-Explore commentary (featured on the 2009 Blu-Ray) doesn't work on most Blu-Ray players anymore nor did Disney ever attempt to fix that irksome issue.


Hunchback only had a commentary on the laserdisc. Pocahontas had one on the laserdisc and a different one on the 10th Anniversary Edition (featuring If I Never Knew You reinserted into the movie). Your version of the film (is it perhaps the Musical Masterpiece Edition) likely doesn't feature it then. Lilo & Stitch's 2-Disc Big Wave Edition in the U.S. features a commentary and it should be identical to the 2-Disc editions released abroad.

hey all,

First off, why wouldnt Disney include the original commentary for Pocahontas on the 10th anniversary release??? It would have cost them nothing!! Sigh...

Now on to something more important: i clicked the link to the Tangled unofficial commentary... and the file is no longer there!

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE FILE SO THEY CAN EMAIL IT TO ME??? PLEASE!!!!

I never knew this existed and Im dying to listen to it. I love Tangled and I love commentaries (seriously). Please! help!!!!

You are wrong the Blu Ray of The Hunchback of Notre Dame has a Commentary.

Oops, you're right. I have a DVD that ported over all of Hunchback's laserdisc features so I wrongfully assumed that the commentary never made the jump to DVD and Blu-Ray like most of the rest of the laserdisc bonus features.

I imagine they didn't see the need for the old commentary since a new one was recorded. They did the same thing for the Blu-Rays of Dumbo and Sleeping Beauty: made a new commentary and didn't include the older DVD track. I preferred the older tracks on those two titles, so I kept the DVDs for them.

A few of Pocahontas's DVD deleted scenes/songs also originally had commentary on the laserdisc, but those weren't ported over. (For that matter, neither was the infamous "shirtless John Smith" pencil animation.)


I can host it on my DropBox for a few days, but I don't plan on keeping it there forever; if anyone else wants it, grab and go now:

At least the 2002 DVD of Hunchback had the Audio Commentary with it.

One commentary missing from the above list is Through the Keyhole: A Companion's Guide to Wonderland used in the 60th Anniversary Blu-Ray Edition of Alice in Wonderland. It's a picture-in-picture feature that serves as a hybrid between a documentary and a commentary, a bit like the Cine-Explore feature used in Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Sleeping Beauty.

Cinderella's Signature Edition will feature something like Cine-Explore so that will finally get a commentary too. That leaves 101 Dalmatians as the most prominent film left without a commentary of any sorts.

hey Albert!


Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I already downloaded the Tangled commentary from your Dropbox, I really appreciate it!


And yes, I know about the commentaries for Dumbo and SB. I actually have the old SB dvd, so I have both commentaries. I wish I had the old Dumbo dvd.... but at least they are available in dvd format. The original Pocahontas commentary isnt! Why not include both?? Im sure there is different info. The two SB commentaries are extremely different!

And what is this about the John Smith shirtless scene??? DO TELL!!!gggg

What's even weirder is that the Dumbo Blu-Ray specifically mentions that it features the audio commentary yet it still isn't included.

The ending scene where Pocahontas bids goodbye to John Smith initially featured him shirtless. However, it was felt that the scene was too steamy, especially with their long kiss, so they included John's shirt, although it's opened up to showcase his wound and wrappings so that's still something. I've also read that initially there was a scene planned where John was bathing shirtless in the waterfall and Pocahontas would have been there but this was cut because they felt it was too much.

You haven't seen it? It's on the Deluxe Laserdisc Edition. It's essentially the same scene than in the final film, just him being shirtless and not looking after her when she runs.

Oh I didn't realize that scene was on the laserdisc. I assumed it was the ending but John Smith sans shirt. I wish there was an easy way to view the Laserdisc extras because I don't own it.

Well, the DUmbo blu ray has the cine-explore feature, which works as a commentary on the dvd included.

And isnt the cine-explore feature kind of a visual commentary?

I still wish they had included both.

Yeah, it's a pity that it doesn't have it.

Yes, the Cine-Explore feature is a visual commentary but it is different from the one included in the original Dumbo DVD. So it would have been nice to have both on the same disc, especially since the packaging claims that was the case.

Sleeping Beauty's Platinum Blu-Ray, for example, features the Cine-Explore feature and the commentary included is the exact same as the Cine-Explore but without all the visual stuff.

I don't think it has been uploaded to YouTube either.
