E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (2-Disc Widescreen Limited Collector's Edition) (1982) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me explain something that I feel a lot of people are forgetting. This set doesn't only include the new version, but the old as well. That's a great deal, since you can choose which one you would like to see. If you hate the new effects and CGI, don't watch it. It's that simple.
Now don't get me wrong. I think the newer version is very silly, and I wonder if Spielberg really thought it looked good when he did it. Maybe if he were to do it in around 10 years, it wouldn't look so animated.
I did like the deleted bathroom scene though, even though it was done with CGI. It would have been nice to have seen that in the original, but I guess that would be having my cake and eating it too.
There is nothing flawed about this set, it simply just gives some options that not everyone will want to choose. If you enjoy the movie, you will enjoy this set. It's a classic that hasn't lost it's flavor after all these years.

The Secret of NIMH (1982) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The colors are better in the 2-disc edition, but don't let the addition of the widescreen format get you too excited - it's falsely achieved. I compared the full-frame version to the widescreen (both are included in the new release), and for the widescreen version, all they did was crop off the tops and bottoms of the images. I read the producers were kinda baffled when they heard a 'widescreen' version of NIMH was coming out, because the film was shot very near 1.33 to 1 aspect ratio, which is pretty much the size of most old-fashioned TV screens. Anyhow - get this new edition, watch the full-frame version (can't believe I'd ever be saying those words), and enjoy the commentary track from Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, as well as the 15 minute featurette on disc 2. The games are for little children, and so is the packaging. I wish there was a collector's edition release geared more towards adults and animation enthusiasts, but this will have to do for now. Best animated film ever made, in my opinion.
