• Deleted/Extended Songs and Scenes with Commentary by Managing director/writer Ol Parker are all enjoyable. Some are song performances
• High Jinks –this is a kind of lame version of outtakes or bloopers. As usual I wish in that location were more and some "existent" ones.
• Enhanced Sing-Alongs- the lyrics on the screen for eighteen songs are easy to read and you become Cher's "Fernando" song and the whole wacky "Super Trouper" number with full bandage at the end. Fun!
• The Story- This extra covers the idea for and execution of the original Broadway musical through the development of the first film and this i. Interesting.
• Mamma Mia! Reunited features the cast talking about the joy of reuniting for another Mamma Mia! picture ten years later on. Nice.
• Playing Donna focuses on Meryl Streep's cameo with song and Lily James' being intimidated at playing a function Meryl Streep played. Sweet and charming.
• Sophie's Story features Amanda Seyfried talking about the development of the Sophie grapheme from innocent girl to take-charge woman. Cast talks nearly the actress.
• Meeting Cher has the fable talking nigh taking the role of Ruby and loving the original stage show which she saw three times. Keen for her fans especially.
• Costumes and The Dynamos concentrates on the 1970'southward inspired wardrobe for the young and "legacy" older cast. The older guys hated existence in spandex but the girls loved it. The costume designer highlights her fave outfits. Nice!
• Choreographing Mamma Mia! Hither Nosotros Go Once more is just that…edifice new dance moves for this second motion-picture show that both cast and dancers could accomplish. Funny and fun.
• Cast Meets Bandage is a hoot! We get young and older Tonya and Rosie actresses interviewing each other basically. A lot of fun.

• Curtain Call focuses on the big finale all cast in spandex number "Super Trouper". Pierce Brosnan calls his stretch adapt "securely humiliating". We see the number in totality.
• Dancing Queen: Anatomy of a Scene is similar but takes autonomously the difficulty of shooting and planning the enormous singing and dancing cast for this famous ABBA melody, many arriving to the island in boats.
• Bandage Chats – The immature Dynamos and young Dads talk nearly their fave moments on set up and the pressure level of playing the younger versions of legendary actors. Fun
• Performing for Legends puts united states in the recording studio as the young cast records ABBA songs in front end of members of the legendary band. Talk virtually pressure.
• Course of '79 again has the younger cast talking about the intimidation of playing roles established by legendary actors.. This could have been combined with Cast Chats.
• A "Today Testify" interview with producer and Cher talking nearly the film. Nice to have.
• Audio Commentaries – one with manager/writer Ol Parker and some other with producer Judy Craymer are dainty to hear in one case but re-tell some of the tidbits seen in the extras.

Wrapping Upwardly

You certainly get your money's worth of extras in this Blu-ray/DVD/Digital sing-along set. It is a bonanza for fans of the music who really dearest to become up and sing and dance forth! The story of immature Donna and her three loves is a good one. Lily James and young cast bring some fresh air to the Mamma Mia! story.

Soundtrack sounds not bad and the visual elements looked colorful and well-baked on my set. I would have loved some bodily line flubs and true outtakes (I always practice) merely everything and everyone else is completely covered. Nosotros go four stars.
