In “Creating The Characters”, a host of “Render Bugs” (1:29), or computer glitches can be found under the same dino fossil. In “The Production Process”, there’s another vintage Disney excerpt from “Disneyland Goes to the World’s Fair” (4:56) originally broadcast May 17, 1964, showcasing the dinosaur animatronics and how they were made. In “Publicity”, Disney Educational Presentations presents “Recycle Rex” (12:00), an award winning animation, created in conjunction with the California Department of Recycling in 1992.

OK on both disks there are easter eggs. Right when the main menu appears (on both disks) the easter egg is in the corner near the View Askew logo (a clown). On the Movie disk an option will be "Play Movie". Press Left and another caption will pop up next to it reading "Don't Play Movie", press that and it will lead you to a screen which will hold some advice (there are four different "advices" on this easter egg, so after one is over and it returns to the main menu, repeat pressing it if you wish to see the other blurbs).
On the second disc there is a Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash spot featuring Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes (once again near the View Askew clown logo).
And on both disks, it works on any feature (I believe) the shit demon appears laughing and then faints, but if you press that or another feature again right after that, it opens back up the the shit demon screen and the demon says an well-known phrase from all Kevin Smith films.

For disk 1 go to the last page of the Scene Selections menu and enter 3 on your remote. You will no longer be able to select any of the menu items. Then press 3 again, hey-presto How Jay thinks Kevin directs.
For disc 2 pretty much the same. Go to the last page of the deleted scenes menu and press 2 then 4. How Kev thinks he directs.

The clip features Kevin Smith playing Jason Mewes with the Jay action figure, and Jason Mewes playing Kevin Smith with the Silent Bob action figure.
A third hidden feature can be found on the second disc of the set. Insert the disc and go to the 'Deleted Scenes.' Once again, go through all the pages, all the way to the last selection page of these scenes and then press '2' and '4' on your remote control.

The second may not be an egg, but because once it happens it doesn't occur again it could be considered one. After inserting DVD and the main menu appears press the right arrow key to directly highlight Special Features. After hitting Enter, a maze game will appear and you must complete the maze with your choice of three weapons. To cut to the chase use the bone for the first room, then the sword for the fire room, then finally the hour glass in the final room. When completed the special features menu appears on screen. I've noticed with testing that once the game is done it doesn't reappear unless reinsert the disk again. I also noticed that once you play the full movie through the game doen not come up because the maze is a featured scene in the movie. I'm sorry for the lengthy explanation so please test away and edit my statement.
