    Bought and watched this. Watched it on the regular tube as my kid's sick and it wasn't a good night to pull down the BIG screen, so I can't comment on the video transfer. WIll comment on other aspects below.

    Some encouraging or dismaying features on this disk, depending how you look at it:

    Double disk set, disk 1 is labelled as "Family Friendly" has DD track only, is pan & scan, and has a minimum of extras.

    Disk 2 is labelled as "Enthusiast's disk", has widescreen 16:9 enhanced film, and has DD and DTS (both 5.1). It also had many more extras and background material.

    First thought - if the second disk is the "enthusiast's" version, why'd they cram all the extras on that one and thereby require more compression of the video? But, as I have not seen the video under circumstances to judge it yet, maybe I'm being prematurely critical.

    The audio was pretty nice, although I had it at a lower level than my usual "frighten the windows". The menus are pretty cool, with a lot of brand new animation, not stuff lifted out of the film. They are pretty long to the actual "make a choice" part, which might end up getting tiresome. Don't know if hitting menu again short cuts them or not.

    Watched a couple of the featurettes, and they are pretty well produced, with a lot of background and current interviews with the original cast and crew.

    All in all, first impression is if you are a fan of this movie, it's a very nicely done DVD.

    And in a pretty nice gesture to real fans, includes a coupon for $5 back if you have an older version of the DVD.

      Hmmmm, interest indeed. I agree with you about the extras. I'll have to pick this one up and check it out.
