I'm not sure I like that. I enjoyed the ambiguity about his origin and precise purpose.

Right, I know it's something the wanted to do originally, but the movie works better without it.

I also feel like the Dean flirting scene causes more problems than it helps.

Would it even be worth the trouble to release this on Blu-Ray?

If you're asking whether there would be a difference in quality to DVD, there most certainly would be. Higher resolution, lossless sound and last but not least, much better compression.

Darn it! Just purchased this movie on vudu about 2 weeks ago =/.

The same thing with idioacracy as they were not available on bluray.

 

[petethepanda]

I'll pass on the collector's edition but I'll buy the everloving hell out of the standard.

 

[JLynn]

It'd be neat if the UK gets this but I doubt it.

Hope we get a regular BD at least.

If not you can import it. Warner rarely region blocks its blurays (Planning on getting the Italian version of the Batman TV bluray which is a copy and paste of the more expensive US set).

EDIT: Beaten like eggs. I'm glad it's being preserved on Bluray nonetheless. Looking forward to hearing the Brad Bird commentary.

 

[PhantomZone]

Will buy it on release

 

[Death Metalist]

Soon.

I wish. It should be this + The Animated Series in a big ass boxset.

 

[NIGHT-]

Soon.

Hold me!

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Soon.

Seriously?

Don't toy with my feelings man

 

[Sephzilla]

Soon.

Iron Giant BluRay means we finally get an HD version of the best Superman movie.

If Mask of the Phantasm gets a BluRay release then we finally get an HD version of the best Batman movie.

 

[Haloid1177]

Soon.

Gimme this and BTAS and Batman Beyond and Return of the Joker all in a Blu-Ray set for like $500 and I will buy two.

There were only 2 new scenes added to the Signature Edition:

1.

Spoiler

They show Dean having that date with Annie at the diner that would plant the seed of their future relationship.

2.

Spoiler

The Giant's true purpose for why he was made and sent to Earth is revealed through a trippy dream sequence.

They were both short and ok although not really needed to be honest.

saw the rerelease in theaters and can see why they were cut. first one is a dull interaction and feels shoved in, the second one is just strange and doesn't fit, having no real payoff in the end for all these concepts they introduce. sure it hints at

Spoiler

his military purpose, but his backstory never mattered that much.

 

[Charcoal]

The Iron Giant is my favorite movie ever, even more so after the theatrical re-release. Pre-ordered the collector's edition and super excited for the documentary.

The doc is why the blu-ray got held up, so it's nice that it's finally coming.

 

[metsallica]

There's a proper Art of The Iron Giant book dropping in September, too.

Any info on that anywhere? Or a preorder link?
EDIT: Found it and preordered it: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1608878880/?tag=neogaf0e-20

My boring old $10 disc should be arriving today. I hope the transfer is good!

Going by this Blu-Ray.com review, it is

 

[OSHAN]

How's the DC compared to the theatrical? I can't imagine it being better.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I casually preordered this when I saw this thread months ago. I was surprised when I got an Amazon package at 10am.

"Oh yeah, I bought this"

 

[Himynameischris]

I should get this in the mail today but I'm at work until 5 and then I have class until 9:30....

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

I remember getting this on vhs when my family had recently moved to the USA. Such a great movie. Started my love of giant robots in general, lol.

 

[Monkeylord]

That statue pose is really... lame. Should've gone with the look of the statue in the movie.

Can't unsee Hogarth wearing the skirt
