About The Peetimes: There are 2 Peetimes to choose from. I recommend the 1st one since it’s longer. The 2nd Peetime is still workable, my granddaughter made it to the bathroom and got a popcorn in the time it took me to capture the Peetime. (We do timed challenges, she won.)

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.
