Transformers The Movie never looked or sounded better!
Just got TRANSFORMERS - The movie (20th Anniversary Special Edition) and wow am I impressed by the huge differance from the original DVD release from exactly 6 years from the date of this new release. As a kid who grew up in the 80's loving these things it was great to get the DVD when it first came out a few years back. When I heard it was going to be re-released as a 2 disc set with remastered picture and a better 5.1 surround sound mix I knew I was in for a treat. What I did not expect was the set to be loaded with so many extras, many which have especially been created just for this new 20th Anniversary Special Edition. You even get a sneak peek at the Trailer for Transformers live action film which comes out 7/4/2007.Below is a comparison of the original 2000 DVD release and the new 2006 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD.The original Transformers: The Movie DVD was released November 7, 2000 and features the following content:Full screen (1.33:1) presentationAudio option: English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround SoundInterview with composer Vince DeColaStoryboardsThe Transformers: The Movie (20th Anniversary Special Edition) DVD released November 7, 2006, and features the following content:Remastered anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) and full screen (1.33:1) presentationAudio options: English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, English 2.0 stereoTrivia Track: "Autobot Matrix of Knowledge"Commentary by director Nelson Shin, story consultant Flint Dille and Sue Blu, the voice of ArceeFan commentaryOriginal theatrical trailer and TV spotsCinex and credit testsPhoto gallery"Scramble City" episode with fan commentaryRemastering side-by-side comparisonTrailer: Transformers live action filmSneak peek: Transformers live action filmDVD-ROM: "Activate Autobot City" trivia gameFeaturette: "Death of Optimus Prime"Featurette: "Cast and Characters"Featurette: "Transformers Q & A"Promotional trailer with commentaryTest, deleted/alternate footage with commentaryAnimated storyboardsUS and Japanese toy commercials"Scramble City" commercialsDVD-ROM link to exclusive content
