Re: Willow coming to bluray 3/12/2013

I would get this were it not for the fact that I saw bits of this recently and battle and FX sequences aside, this isn't a very good movie. Lots of 80s cheese and takes itself too seriously. Might get it eventually, but so much better fantasy has come out since this one that it kind of pales.

Is the Warwick Davis commentary missing from the upcoming blu-ray? My recollection is that it was pretty good on the DVD.

From everything I have read, its not on the new bluray, if you have the old dvd it might be worth keeping for that.

I wonder if it's on the DVD that comes in the two-pack, as though that's the old DVD just repackaged here.

Seriously, not including that commentary makes no sense.

Huh. Got my shipping notice last night. I guess I pre-ordered this. Well. I will answer my own question soon, then.

Not sure where you saw that cuz this review from them isn't of that grade.

Re: Willow coming to bluray 3/12/2013

I just bought the bluray, the dvd included is just the remastered movie with no extras. So the Warwick Davis commentary is not included, hold on to the old dvd.

Re: Willow coming to bluray 3/12/2013

I was about to post the same. Lame.

I will say, though, I'm watching the blu-ray now and the transfer is indeed flawless to my eyes. I can't find a speck of dirt and detail is tremendous.

So buy the set, take out the new DVD in the set, shred it and slip in the old DVD in with the bluray. I do that with a lot of the two disc sets that I buy.

I read the first one and was bored to death. It might as well not have been connected to Willow at all. I don't recommend it.

Going out of print two days after it came out?! Maybe I don't know how this stuff works.

Hearing at the "other" forum that this is OOP or headed that way. Was able to snag one at MovieStop today on lunch break, disappointed that it doesn't contain the commentary by Davis on the bluray, so I'll have to scrap up the DVD copy somewhere.

Given how stingy Disney usually is with live-action back catalog properties, interested parties better snap up Willow right now. Lucasfilm is now controlled by Disney and they won't be licensing Willow to anyone.

Re: Willow coming to bluray 3/12/2013

Yeah. I just checked Amazon and prices are a little ridiculous, even for used copies. And I just saw one sitting on a clearance endcap at Target a few weeks ago, but I thought it would get cheaper and I had no idea it was going OOP. Should have picked it up.

I'm not sure if I picked it up for $10...but I know I picked it up for less than $15. Good thing, it's one of my favorite movies. Can't wait until my kid is old enough to show him.

I feel like I've seen this used at different shops but didn't realize it was OOP plus we have the DVD.

If I see it I may grab it next time.
