The Monsters Collection (Frankenstein Complex & Phil Tippett Documentaries)

[Admonisher]

This upcoming (and newly reviewed) set that features two creature-creation documentaries really intrigues me! In particular, the Phil Tippett stop-motion short film Prehistoric Beast is seminal to my childhood due to it being incorporated into the 1985 documentary Dinosaur! (unavailable on Blu-ray, so far as I can tell). Those images and sounds are seared into my brain!

If I'm not mistaken, the bonus disc for this collection marks the Blu-ray debut of Prehistoric Beast? There was a crowdfunded Blu-ray of the Tippett doc a few years back, and the short is listed as having been available as a campaign reward ... but it's unclear to me whether the short actually made it to the resulting (Region B-locked) disc or was only sent out to backers as a digital extra. The back cover art I've seen online suggests that it may not be on the physical disc, but I couldn't find any comprehensive review to be certain.

At any rate, the set is down to just $25.99 on Amazon right now (from $49.95 retail) so I've already taken a gamble and preordered. Has anyone here seen either documentary? Am I apt to get my money's worth?

P.S. Prehistoric Beast is available on YouTube for free, though I'm presuming there's a quality uptick on the Blu-ray (plus a commentary track). It runs under 10 minutes, so definitely check it out if you've never seen it: youtube.com/watch?v=hlaXIRTjNfo (sorry for not making a clickable link; it's not able to be embedded, and the forum doesn't seem to like it).
