One of my requirements is to be able to extract sound bites from the movie so that I can play them whenever I wish. For instance, when the train stops at the Hero Boy's house, it would be fun to play that dialogue between the boy and the conductor.

So, as a proof of concept, I was able to extract sound fairly easily using a DVD ripper and Cyberlink's Audio Director 6. The Audio Director is able to import a movie so that you can edit the sound. Turns out I can also snip interesting portions of the sound track and save them to disk for replay.

Once I get further along in the rest of the project I'll circle back to here to start extracting my desired sound bites.
