    ??? Whats the point of that? How much definition can be gotten from a cartoon made 20 odd years ago?!?!? Blu ray for the sake of bluray?

    You would be surprised how good old films can look on bluray (hell if an almost 70 year old animated film can look this good...), TF:TM probably wouldn't gain much from a HD transfer, Still I'll probably get it

    Ive had the UK version for a while, but good news that it is finally getting a local release.

    the picture quality is really good considering the age of the film. the colours look much more vibrant than previous versions.

    However some fans will not like the new 16:9 widescreen format.
    They cut off parts of the sides in order to fill a widescreen tv screen, as the movie was originally shot in 4:3.

    Im such a sucker for re-releases like this. i hate the UK cover for the blu-ray version but seeing as our version has the wicked madman cover, i'm totally sold even though i have the madman DVD with what i'm sure will be the exact same features.
