Iron Giant SE in September
At long last...
June 29, 2004 - Hallelujah! Warner Home Video has finally announced that a special edition DVD of The Iron Giant, one of the most underrated animated films in years, will finally come to DVD this year.
There's good news and bad news on this front. The good news is, the disc will street on September 7, not November as has been rumored. In November, Pixar releases TIG director Brad Bird's latest film The Incredibles. Suggested price will be $19.97.
The bad news? Looking at the artwork of the case, it appears Warner's trend toward Amaray cases has come to an end, because that's clearly a snapper. We pray this is a prototype and the film comes in Amaray.
The film features the voices of Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr. and Vin Diesel. It tells of a lonely young boy who befriends a lost robot while trying to hide it from the military, which wants to capture the giant for its own purposes.
The Iron Giant Special Edition DVD will be presented in a new transfer in anamorphic widescreen format with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. Bonus materials include:
Eight never-before-seen additional scenes with introductions by Brad Bird, including an alternate opening sequence.
13 mini documentaries revealing the origin and the in-depth development process of The Iron Giant.
Interviews with creative consultant Teddy Newton on the storyboard sequence development process.
The Voice Of The Giant: Brad Bird and Vin Diesel discuss voicing The Iron Giant.
Scene-specific commentaries by filmmakers
A motion gallery of original animation
A letter from Ted Hughes, author of the original book upon which the film was based.
DVD-ROM access to the original web site and "Easter eggs" revealing the behind-the-scenes filmmaking process.
