I don't understand this. I went to watch this last night and the only version
on Disney+ has a 2:20-minute runtime, which is the runtime of the original
theatrical release according to IMDb, Grok, and the old DVD sitting on my
shelf. If a half hour of extra footage was added, it should be 2:50 minutes.

The link above takes you to the BluRay release, which also is labeled as 2:20
minutes.

WTF?
