Yes, but it feels like some of Disney’s- actually every studio’s- physical releases are lacking in bonus features. Especially their big-name classic movies. Like, is the 50GB storage on the BDs a joke to them?
Disney still made an effort when Blu-Ray first started. Almost all their major releases were 2-Disc releases and had extensive features like Cine-Explore. That only lasted a few years though sadly. I'm fine with Sleeping Beauty though because the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD and the Platinum Edition Blu-Ray/DVD were both some of Disney's best releases. On the other hand, The Lion King has always had terrible home video releases when it comes to bonus features, and films like Hunchback and Hercules never got anything substantial (unless you count the Hunchback laserdisc).

I think the films who got a terrible treatment in the bonys features department are the ones who had their cheapquels tacked on on the same disc like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, The Emperor's New Groove and Lilo and Stitch.
Mulan actually got almost all its bonus features ported over. Hunchback suffered a lot since it never got a proper DVD release to port over its laserdisc features the way Pocahontas did. So by the time of the Blu-Ray, they only ported over the measly few bonus features on the one-disc DVD. Stitch and TENG are really shocking examples because they had packed two-disc DVDs but the Blu-Rays feature no bonus features whatsoever.
