Notes:5-Disc Digi-Pack Set with a 32-Page "Dungeons & Dragons: Animated Series Handbook" and 8-Page "Episode Guide Booklet". "Dungeons & Dragons: The Complete Animated Series" has been spread over four discs and contains the complete 27 episodes in story continuity order, disc five is devoted to special features.
There is also an exclusive "Best Buy" store release what includes a plastic "figure" in a see-through box on top of the case (only in the US).
Do note that Episode 08 "Servant Of Evil" at 10:56 has pixilation and crackling in the soundtrack for 2 seconds. BCI is aware of the problem and can not fix the problem with the glitch; it is due to the master that BCI received. -
Easter eggs:On Disc 5 complete 'Kelek's Crystal Interactive Adventure' and you will be treated to a short animation sequence followed by the 'Dungeon Master' who tells you how to access a Easter Egg.
Easter Egg 1: On Disc 5 on the Main Menu, press the arrow keys 'Down', 'Up', 'Right', 'Right', 'Left', 'Up' and 'Down' now you will see an animated storyboard for episode 16 "City At The Edge Of Midnight".
Easter Egg 2: On Disc 5 on the Main Menu select 'More', highlight the entry 'DVD Rom Content' and press the 'Left' arrow key on your remote control to see a picture from the commentary recording session. -

OVERALL: Draw
The US BCI Eclipse release has all the episodes with extensive extras, though note it has approximately 3 minutes of altered music in two episodes due to music rights.
The UK releases have unaltered music and some differing exclusive extras. (There are also Vol 3 and Vol 4 sets, though specs are TBC.) -
CUTS:
- R1 Beginnings America- Mill Creek Home Entertainment - No cuts - Episodes 1-9.
- R1 The Complete Animated Series America- BCI Eclipse - No Cuts. However, there has been a change in the music score for episode 18 "Day Of The Dungeon Master" (Unknown) and episode 20 "The Dragon's Graveyard", it has an alternate score when the kids debate killing Venger.
- R2 Vol 1 United Kingdom- Contender Entertainment Group - No Cuts. Original Music. Episodes 1-7.
- R2 Vol 2 United Kingdom- Contender Entertainment Group - No Cuts. Original Music. Episodes 8-14.
