The Adventures of Mark Twain Blu-ray Review

How is this NOT a thread already? I've been waiting so long for this! I need to find a way to get this! (I have no money so trying to work a trade in the trade section for some of my Blus/PS3 games)

Blu-Ray Winstone · 11-24-2011, 01:05 PM

It is everywhere for about £12

Takeshi666 · 11-24-2011, 07:03 PM

Well this sure came outta nowhere - especially considering there never was a region 2 DVD release as far as I know.

Def. picking this up!

ironically here in the states, the DVD came out about three or four years ago, but no Bluray yet. You guys get no dvd but a bluray. lol

Well, that might explain it; the UK blu-ray is being released by Eureka, the US DVD was by MGM. And the DVD didn't even have as much as a trailer on it!

Does anybody know what region this is? I see it listed at some places as ABC and some sites (like dvdverdict) say region B only. Does anybody know for certain?

It's region free. I just got my copy today and popped it in with fingers crossed. lol.

Plays fine with no problems in my US Playstation 3.

dkimyfjywul · 12-05-2011, 05:44 PM

Thanks for the info - that's great news.

I'm curious about the "Music of Mark Twain" feature. Are they separate complete audio tracks that play like a soundtrack CD, or are they just isolated score clips that contain the bits of music as in the film? It would be great if they were the actual complete tracks, like they did with Fantastic Planet.

Owozifa · 01-28-2012, 07:26 AM

I have a copy of this and the BBFC rating on it is U instead of PG, did that get changed somewhere along the line or something? Just kind of a weird thing I noticed.

Inspector Toschi · 01-28-2012, 09:32 PM

Holy smokes! I had no idea this ever came out. I''m so happy it received a quality release too. Just ordered a copy a few minutes ago. Really looking forward to those special features. What an awesome surprise.

Cat III · 01-29-2012, 12:40 AM

I only learned of this recently when I saw it in a Youtube video about the most disturbing children's cartoons. Looks interesting. We already have Watership Down on Blu from that list, let's hope The Adventures of Mark Twain is followed by The Black Cauldron, The Plague Dogs, and Felidae.

-diVe- · 01-31-2012, 03:20 AM

Anyone know if this will see a US release? I believe MGM has the rights in the US.

Right now this is about $20 shipped from the UK.

Inspector Toschi · 01-31-2012, 08:10 PM

It's certainly possible, it just wouldn't be any time soon. I doubt it's a high seller so I can't imagine MGM deciding to release it. On top of that, Eureka has produced some great extras for the disc. Wizards is finally getting a release from Fox. But alas, none of the extras from the Eureka disc are included. I can't imagine MGM paying for the rights to include the extras either.

When there's a release as good as this one, waiting for a possible American release and hoping it will match in quality just isn't an option IMO. It would be different if the quality wasn't up to par, but this release really is as good as it can be in terms of quality.

SolidBlu · 01-31-2012, 08:21 PM

my copy is on the way from hmv

manicsounds · 03-10-2012, 10:02 PM

I got my copy directly from Eureka, and it is 1 disc. (The database here claims 2 discs, BD+DVD) Was that dual format version in the first press only?

Judex · 03-10-2012, 10:49 PM

It wasnt released as dual format at all. It got a separate DVD and Blu release

manicsounds · 03-11-2012, 11:45 AM

I guess I'll update the site specs then, and change the fact that it's a BD-50, not 25.

KJH6926 · 08-31-2012, 02:37 PM

really glad this one is region free
