Moonwalker

Moonwalker is a 1988 live-action experimental anthology musical film starring Michael Jackson, directed by Ron Howard and Don Bluth, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and Frank Marshall. Rather than featuring one continuous narrative, the film expresses the influence of fandom and innocence through a collection of short films about Michael Jackson, several of which are long-form music videos from Jackson's Bad album. Produced by the American companies Amblin Entertainment and Lucasfilm, and the American-Irish Sullivan Bluth Ltd., the film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which Jackson was known for performing. The film was also on October 29, 1988.

Due to the large budget, the film had a limited theatrical release and was released in the United States on VHS and LaserDisc by MCA/Universal Home Video on Spring 1990. The vignettes featured in the movie also appear in a DVD box set of Michael Jackson music videos titled Michael Jackson's Vision. The set only features the song and dance sequences from "Smooth Criminal", the title song, and the ending "Come Together" as opposed to the entire short film.
Moonwalker was released on a region-free Blu-ray in the United Kingdom in January 2010 by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment This Blu-ray version contained a new remastered transfer and a DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack. The release has been censored, with the scenes of Mr. Big hitting Katie and threatening to inject her with heroin cut. The Blu-ray was released in its original theatrical 16:9 aspect ratio, different from the previous home releases.
Because of specific music and film licensing, Moonwalker has yet to be officially released on DVD and/or Blu-ray in North America. However, imported region-free DVD copies of the film from Japan or China have surfaced throughout the web.
