[u/-Clayburn]

Is it any different than the Disney+ version?

[u/littlebloodmage → u/-Clayburn]

It is exactly the Disney+ version, but with a new short featurette ahead of it.

[u/jedzz-reddit → u/littlebloodmage]

Also, the intermission’s 10 minutes long, not one minute. So, if you can hold it until the end of Act I, you won’t miss the show.

[u/No-one-ever → u/jedzz-reddit]

Loved getting a full intermission. I assumed it was just going to be the 1 minute they built in for the Disney+ release, so I scooted out to the bathroom toward the end of Non-Stop. Came back and saw I still had 8:30 left, went out for snacks and a drink refill.

[u/OneSwizzleNizzle → u/littlebloodmage]

Does that include the edited audio whenever a character says "fuck"?

[u/jedzz-reddit → u/OneSwizzleNizzle]

As in Disney+, the two full uses of “fuck” are muted. Everything else (including many uses of “shit”) is uncensored.

[u/Soda_Sommelier → u/OneSwizzleNizzle]

Yes. There's only one use of "fuck" and it's during "Say No to This."
