UPDATE: The R2 discs were just announced. The DVD edition is properly listed but the Blue-ray is only a partial listing right now. So, my fellow Brits, have at it!
Sweet merciful crap! April is going to be an expensive month.
Confession time. I don’t have The Adventures of Baron Menchausen in my house in any known format. For shame. Those of you who know me, this is shameful. But I rejoice because on April 8th a 20th anniversary edition of Monty Python alumnus Terry Gilliam’s much loved film is coming out on DVD and Blue-ray. Joy! Wow, Canadian actress and filmmaker Sarah Polly is very, very young in this film. But Uma Thurman is still very, very naked in the movie too. Joy!
Standard Edition extras included: 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widecreen Transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, Commentary with Director Terry Gilliam & Co-Writer/Actor Charles McKeown, ‘The Madness and Misadventures of Munchausen’ Documentary, Storyboard Sequences with All-New Vocal Performances by Terry Gilliam and Charles McKeown and Deleted Scenes.
Blue-ray Edition extras included: All the above mentioned extras and Marvelous World of Munchausen Enhanced Graphics & Trivia Track, 1.85:1 Widecreen Transfer (1080p), Audio: English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, French Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and Subtitles in English, English SDH, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai!!!

Mack, you were just ahead of me…
A butchered movie to be sure, but parts of it are breathtakingly beautiful. One of the first shots show a family hiding under the giant severed horsehead of a demolished statue, and it’s like you’re watching a classic painting.
It’s full of shots like that and if anyone ever makes a Discworld movie, take note of the designs used here (especially Death!).

You are not alone. This should be in my collection too and isn’t. I’ve been waiting for this!
Todd Brown 03/05/2008 @ 5:42am
Whoo! I really, really love this film and I don’t have it on DVD either ... now we just need a kick ass edition of The Fisher King ...

My lord, is this movie already 20 years old! oi!

i’m kinda bummed out that it’s not a criterion release…but very happy that it’s at least being released and i don’t have to wait for some independent/artsy television network to air it at 3am.
