Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend Blu-ray Review

Just saw that this obscure 80's title will be receiving some sort of Wal-Mart exclusive release in August.

I remember seeing the film when I was 13 or 14 or so, and thinking it was ok (for some reason, when I saw 1989's Arachnophobia, I was reminded of the general feel of Baby) - I'm surprised it is coming to Blu. Hopefully this means some other 80's Disney films - The Journey of Natty Gann in 2.35:1 for example - may also make their way to Blu. Natty Gann hasn't been seen in North America in its original aspect ratio for almost 30 years. It's a fine film. Natty Gann, Tex, Never Cry Wolf, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Return to Oz...bring them to Blu. Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend? On Blu? Well, if it means the door is cracking and other obscure 80's live-action Disney films are coming, so be it.

I believe this one is already released by Wal Mart this past week. Some already have copies and confirmed it is in its OAR 2.35:1 in 1080P.

[DetroitSportsFan]

It's a Wal-Mart exclusive, available now. Everywhere else gets it in August.

And another member posted it is 2.35:1.

This is one of those films I remember seeing at the theater (and enjoying) as a kid, but found it unbearably boring as an adult...Glad it has received hi-def treatment for those who want it, I'd imagine fans must be overjoyed...

I liked it. I thought it was cute. If the price is cheap, I'll grab it.

My local Chicagoland WM had several copies in a $5 Blu-ray bin along with some other mixed titles, including the Jim Varney "Ernest" films (also released recently by Mill Creek). And while I didn't purchase it, I can verify that "Baby" is in fact 2.35:1, as stated on the back of the cover insert.

Say what you want about this film but i feel this is one of Jerry Goldsmiths best! and for that i could watch this movie over and over again!

[DarknessBDJM]

I watched this film over and over again as a kid and even recorded it onto VHS. I was a dinosaur fanatic, so a good family adventure movie about dinosaurs was a big thing for me.

[Shallow_]

Have not seen this in ages. Was a repeat rental on vhs back in the early eighties. Looking forward to it.

[RipleyLV426]

I remember watching it as a kid too. It's funny I got it from netflix a few months ago to reminisce and it's weird how I totally didn't remember certain parts of it (like some of the beginning, probably because I didn't understand what the scientists were talking about) Patrick McGoohan (Braveheart, The Phantom) though, I immediately remembered even before I saw it again, great actor!

I still got teary when

[Show spoiler]Baby finds his father dead in the water...just his neck sticking out and the crows picking bloody pieces from it, then he nuzzles his father's head )

Goldsmith's music always stayed with me too. It kept the film from being cheesy and gave the dinos some gravitas even when the puppeteering looked a bit stiff or wobbly. I won't be buying it, but I wonder how the transfer is.

[arnie]

I got this yesterday and have watched about 30 minutes and was shocked that the transfer is awesome. Colors, clarity, black levels and detail are all great. Also don't know the exact aspect ratio but it looks about 2.35 to 1. 4.0 HD audio I think. Well worth $5

[Strevlac]

I saw this in the theater too. I must have been 11 or 12 years old. I hated it, lol. I was one of those wierd kids who would rather watch 2001: A Space Odyssey than this dreck.

However, I'm with Ernest in hoping for Something Wicked This Way Comes. I'd snatch that one up in a heartbeat.

[Pirate King]

Already picked it up for five bucks at Walmart. I am a happy camper.

[kong73]

i live in NY we don't have Walmart, i had my mom look at two dif. Walmarts and she could't find it?!

[Ite]

Was this sad? I sort of remember it being a bit sad.

There's nothing weird about choosing to watch the greatest film ever made over this one.

In my opinon, it wasn't sad, it was just plain bad...

[Ruined]

Mill Creek has really stepped up to the plate with Blu-ray and their recent DVD sets. Echo Bridge should take a long hard look at them and see how its done right!

Order it online, do free Ship to Store to a store that's near mom (add her name as someone you authorize to get the disc), and then just have mom go pick it up when she can.

I couldn't find it at the ones I checked, so I did that option and will pick it up next weekend...

I wouldnt expect Something wicked, (though that would be nice) Since it was one of the titles Disney got mad, that Anchor Bay actually made a profit off of,before they took the licesnsing back from them along with the black hole.
the most recenet something wicked this way comes dvd was released by disney themselves.
