Bonus feature comparison

Post by rsandcm1 »

Apologies if this has been brought up before (I did a quick search and didn't come across anything), but I need just a bit of help. I want to buy a copy of "Atlantis: The Lost Empire", but I'm not sure whether I should go with the collector's edition from 2002 or the blu-ray combo pack from last year? I'd like to know if there are any differences between the bonus features on these two sets. (I don't care about the sequel movie, I hear it sucked.) If anyone could help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Blu-Ray keeps the audio commentary, the extensive making-of documentary (which runs 11 chapters at 1:59:51), Marc Okrand's "How to Speak Atlantean" featurette (2:12), the DisneyPedia featurette (6:38), 3 trailers, and 4 deleted scenes.

It loses out on the branching video featurettes from the commentary, various still galleries, character animation tests, progression reels, and 3D turnarounds of various vehicles. If you want to have everything (but the sequel), simply slip the 2002 Collector's Edition DVD into the 3-Disc Blu-Ray combo pack, and stow away the DVDs that came in that combo pack (the alternative single-disc version of Atlantis and the sequel's original DVD). Then you'll have the film in HD and SD, along with all its bonus features spread across both releases (with the best one - that making-of documentary - available on both).

I would just buy both formats.

Incidentally, there's a great site where you can find any edition of your favorite films and they'll give you the details for each one:
