Game of Thrones - Conquest & Rebellion
- Commentary: Under construction.
I haven't yet watched this "Conquest & Rebellion" disk, but here's an explanation of what it contains from a review of the season it accompanies (Season 7) I found on Amazon.com written by commenter "Happy Reader": "BONUS DISC - In a separate disc holder is 'Game of Thrones: Conquest & Rebellion, An Animated History of the Seven Kingdoms.' I found this delightful. Produced in 2017, this starts with the city of Valyria across the sea, 'through magic or sheer will, they mastered the greatest creatures in history.' That is, they had dragons. In 10 chapters, this 45 minute featurette takes you from Valyeria to Dragonstone and right up to the beginning of the first episode of Season 1. You'll recognize the various narrators, all characters in the TV series. This disc has audio options of English, French and Chinese language. And subtitle options of English SDH, French, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and two others."
Nothing on Wikipedia about this bonus disc.
This link takes you to an ad hoc explanation and appreciative review of the contents of this disc with some graphic captures from the program.

Here's a link to the Wikipedia write-up of Season 7, which this disk accompanied. There is no mention in the article of this disk being included in the package, nor is there a write-up on Wikipedia specifically about this production.
Update 6/5/2022: A mention of this animation has finally appeared here in the overall Wikipedia page for the TV series. There's not much, but it is mentioned. Still nothing on the Season 7 Wikipedia page, though.
Release Date: 2017
Directed by: Nothing anywhere, that I can find, about who directed this pre-history of the Seven Kingdoms, although Dave Hill is the credited writer. Perhaps, when I watch it, a credit to the director will roll. If that happens, this post will be updated.
