OVERALL: Draw
US/Canada and UK are virtually identical, but the US/Canada editions have additional Mandarin tracks and a "home video" branching option that substitutes the introductory credit shots of the main characters with textless versions and is otherwise identical in content.
The differences in running time for the 2002 extras are due to the different handling of the PAL framerate in upscaling and converting the SD video. -

- Blu-ray A America- Arrow Films - No cuts - includes the theatrical version (104:42) and the home video version (104:42), see notes.
