The limited edition Steelbook set will include a lossy 2.0 Stereo track of the {{wp|4Kids Entertainment}} dub of the movies, presented in 16:9 widescreen. This is in contrast to the original Warner DVD releases, which presented the movies in 4:3 format. The set reportedly excludes the special features from the Warner DVDs, and it is unknown whether or not the {{bp|Pikachu short}}s from all three of the movies will be retained in the set.
