This is regarding the MGM Home Entertainment DVD of The Wizard of Oz (1939).
The theatrical trailer's running time is actually 2:30, not 2:31.
Add the following to the notes on the DVD:
Was re-released in a keepcase version in 1998 with a new disc label and an 8-page booklet containing trivia, production notes, and a revealing look at the making of the film.
“If George Orwell’s 1984 unintentionally predicted our world in 2025, then Thea Von Harbou’s Metropolis unintentionally predicts our world in 2026.”

The note is wrong. It should be "Reissued in a keep case with an 8-page booklet containing trivia, production notes, and a revealing look at the making of the film."
“If George Orwell’s 1984 unintentionally predicted our world in 2025, then Thea Von Harbou’s Metropolis unintentionally predicts our world in 2026.”

Yes, the original has no booklet. The reissue has the booklet.
“If George Orwell’s 1984 unintentionally predicted our world in 2025, then Thea Von Harbou’s Metropolis unintentionally predicts our world in 2026.”
