What happened to the main menu? When I borrowed the Sleeping Beauty Bluray from my niece back in August the menu showed the real temperature in my “kingdom” and you could see the temperatures of the Disney Parks around the world with accurate depictions of the weather in the background image. As I have just picked up a copy for myself I went to watch it last night and the temperature part is gone. The background that shows the kingdom was night time and snowing which it was both outside.
When I first encountered the menu back in August I thought it was a really cool concept and wish more menus were “interactive” like that. Was the weather part removed? It’s not the end of the world, just curious.

I'm not sure, as I haven't checked my Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray, but I can tell you that Disney is changing BDLive. Disney is dropping the online registration process along with Movie Chat, Movie Challenge, Movie Mail, and Disney Movie Rewards Live. Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio will both be getting the same generic BDLive experience that Snow White currently has (the movie trailers section). This is a result of the problematic (aggravating online registration process) that was alienating potential users and the general lack of interest in Movie Chat, Movie Challenge, Movie Mail, and Disney Movie Rewards Live.
I'm going to assume if there was any change to the weather system running the menu, it would be the dropped online registration, and change in Disney BDLive that would cause it. I have to agree with you, I love Sleeping Beauty's realtime menu (cooler then Snow White's and especially Pinocchio's pathetic one). Just a few weeks ago it accurately displayed it being 33°, nighttime, and snowing outside without the registration crap (before it was never accurate as it wanted me to register).
