* On Asian Blu-ray releases of ''Robots'', if the Mainland Chinese 2.0 track is selected, the logo (and the rest of the film) is in PAL-pitch despite being presented in its original film frame rate (notice the audio stuttering from the time stretch used). This is possibly due to it being sourced from TV broadcasts of the film when shown in China, since PAL is the country's video standard there. | * On Asian Blu-ray releases of ''Robots'', if the Mainland Chinese 2.0 track is selected, the logo (and the rest of the film) is in PAL-pitch despite being presented in its original film frame rate (notice the audio stuttering from the time stretch used).
