Waltz With Bashir US DVD/BD 6/23/09

http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content/id...d-in-june.html

Priced at $28.96 SRP on DVD and $39.95 SRP on Blu-ray Disc, features are outlined below...
English and Hebrew 5.1
English subtitles
Q & A with Director Ari Folman
Surreal Soldiers: Making Waltz with Bashir
Director's Commentary
Building the Scenes – Animatics

Looks like a double dip for me. This completely outclasses the Artificial Eye version and the inclusion of a director's commentary not on any other release, and includes the 70 min doc. Something that seems like you can count on from Sony.

This was one of the best films I saw last year - I'll definitely be picking up the Blu-ray.

The Blu-ray does, the DVD doesn't. This despite the fact that the extras disc in the BD set is actually a standard-def DVD. The only extras on the AE DVD release are the trailer and the interview.

For standard-def it looks like R1 is the way to go, but BD owners will have to decide whether they prefer a commentary + animatics or deleted scenes -- unless the animatics are deleted scenes.

Re: Waltz With Bashir US DVD/BD 6/23/09

why there aren't any online reviews (with detailed specs) for the AE blu-ray edition just confounds me

I should know this, but what are 'animatics' ?

Re: Waltz With Bashir US DVD/BD 6/23/09

I have the Artificial Eye, here are the specs for the DVD:

Hebrew 5.1 and 2.0
Optional English subtitles
Teaser Trailer
Theatrical Trailer
16 minute director's interview

in the interview he clearly talks about a deleted scene that was not finished, and said "It will be on the DVD", but it wasnt....

The picture quality and sound was excellent.
