Well, that BTTFT tin also has lots of goodies inside, too!

I saw that myself, and was giving it consideration if there are no drawbacks to playing it in Region A. (There's a nice-looking Metropolis set in the UK too.) The negative remarks are mostly about the films supposedly not being remastered, but it should be the same transfers that appear in the US se...

Yes, they just haven't announced the rest yet.

Yep, starting to love Warner Archive...

Neat-o! That is someone I'd like to see give a talk sometime.

Does Harlan actually voice the character? Too cool!

I've heard Harlan's in weak health. Hopefully he's improving.

We have a PVR with our TV service, so i don't record to VHS anymore; but I still have a few dozen VHS tapes. At this point, it's largely Hanna-Barbera shows that haven't made it to DVD, some Jim Henson specials, and some of the typical collector's items bought years ago at comic book shows or traded...

Geez, and I too thought immediately of the Vulture when I saw him.

Of course, the Lizard's been overdue now for a while.

One hates to say it, but two thoughts pop to mind:

Kids pressured their parents to see what they saw as the "cool" film.

OR

Most grown-ups that buy movie tickets aren't interested in classic Disney animation.

Either way, it's a little sad.

Mark Evanier mentioned it on his blog today, too, though he didn't mention his source. Here are his thoughts on it:

The Warner Archive program shows its worth again.

Apparently, there was a German release done:

Actually, Arthur is in production right now.

Just read your review, Ben--- Did I read it right that the WiP version is actually on the included DVD as well, playing full (wide)screen? And when watching the "original" version on the BD, the castle is messy again like it's supposed to be when watching the "original" version? Sounds like the set ...

Thanks, Droo! I may just get it then, as the subs will disappear once the film is zoomed, and it'll be nice to have the original, original version again. The book sounds nice too.
