When the _Puella Magi Madoka Magica_ Movies first came out, they were only
Japanese with English subtitles, but the DVD/Blu-ray menus were animated. I
remembered that they had small clips from the movie and the background music
was that of the music that plays when Sayaka turns into a witch at the end of
the first movie.

When the English dubbed version of the movies came out I got them too and
after watching the first 2 movies I've noticed they have a totally different
menu. This time, it's just a static image, and the background music is
different.

I am wondering why this is. Would it not have been easier just to use the same
menu? Also, is this a common practice when an anime is first released subbed
but is then later re-released dubbed that the movie menu is remade (and
possibly made less dynamic/flashy in the English dub release)?

Why do the English dubbed Madoka movies have a static movie menu and not an animated one like the English subbed one?
