Regarding the Nim's Island, here's alittle more information from the splash page:
Plus, this faraway tale of a brave 11-year-old comes with the children's hardcover book Nim at Sea. It's the follow-up to Wendy Orr's novel that served as the foundation for this delightful fantasy film. The book is packaged only with the widescreen DVD — a Best Buy exclusive set.
Don't know anything about this bonus DVD in the Bestbuy Canada ad. I don't believe we normally get any bonus DVD that is not already available somewhere else at an US retailer..

Thanks for the updates everyone. There are several more updates to be made, but I left all the packages at home. I'll add what I can from memory, but some may be missing until I get home tomorrow.
