Great movie, glad it appears to be a pretty decent DVD. I'll be interested to see the making-of on this one. It's nice to see R.D. Jr. back in good movies.

I would assume so in this featurette:
"The Weight of The Line: Animation Tales" (featuring animator interviews, studio B-roll, pencil tests, production art and step by step examples of the animation process) and trailers. Retail is $27.99.
Since it is basically rotoscoping we will see atleast a few shots of the non-animated footage.

I think it would have been pretty awesome to have an alternate angle with the live action footage for the whole film...I know that's a tall order and may have required a lot more work/money, but it could have been very cool. I loved this movie, so I'll be all over it in one way or another.

I wish Warner Bros. would use this opportunity to get Linklater's "Suburbia" out on DVD but I doubt we'll ever see it.

Was going to seeing this in the theaters, but I blinked and missed it. Guess I'll have to look forward to it on disc.

This really got short shrift at the theater. Guess the studios assume people are dumbed down and dont wanna think about a movie anymore.

I actually really like that cover art! Usually I would always prefer the original poster art, but I think this DVD cover is better than the original one-sheet. I'm impressed. You can see the back cover here: http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...er-darkly.html

Saw this movie twice in the theater and will be snatching up the DVD on release day.

As a fan of Linklater's other films, I can say...no.
