Flight of the Navigator (1986)

[CelestialAgent]

My copy from Amazon (using a Prime trial to save on postage) was delivered by the driver’s prepubescent son! He seemed very sweet but first time I’ve had this happen, I wasn’t sure whether it would be mine until I checked the Amazon app as I was thrown off guard by the situation.

A little disappointed that the majority of the booklet is the storyboard, but I really liked seeing the storyboard printed in Candyman, the making of essay looks good and substantial, the archival material seems informative and I adore seeing these behind the scenes photos, film strips, polaroids as part of the design! The box is really nice seeing the sky on the artwork wrap around, and I appreciate being able to reverse the cover to the theatrical poster art - even if it’s less obvious it can be flipped with Second Sight’s standard black cases. Everything’s printed on really good paper, the poster is glossy and quite large and is more of something you’d want to put up on the wall compared to the inserts with Criterion and Arrow.

I appreciate Second Sight releasing two Disney films that aren’t quite Disney films (in terms of international distribution rights) with this and Super Mario Bros. Maybe that’ll be one of the next Second Sight releases I get if they ever stop releasing limited editiins?
