The Mask (1961) Blu-ray 3D [Region Free] - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Nice bonus! I like the Halloween theme and the fact that it's (stop frame animation?) animation in stereo 3D, even better. Thanks.

Here's a short preview. Animation looks solid.

That short animated bonus feature looks outstanding. What is the running time of that short?

So only in hell do each minute get 6 seconds added on to it?

Our premiere in Toronto is called "Perhaps the most exciting screening of this years festival..."

always good when a 3-D disc actually has 3-D bonus features - they are surprisingly rare!

Even rarer...a 3D bonus on a 2D disc! (MAZE RUNNER)

It should be spectre-acular!

Keeping the memory of Forry Ackerman alive, one pun at a time.

We had a full house at the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles for our US premiere of THE MASK. Everyone with the Cinefamily was terrific and we had a great time. The crowd was VERY enthusiastic and the 3-D sequences got a big round of applause!

My fiancée Maria and I caught up with Bob and Greg last night at the American premiere of the restoration of The Mask. I was also glad to meet Dan ("Revgen") and put a friendly face with the name. I hope I get to see more of all three of these fine gentlemen, and I really hope they can say the same.

I realize anaglyphic 3-D has its inherent shortcomings and its vocal detractors, but I happen to like anaglyphs. I happen to think The Mask is the finest example of anaglyphic 3-D ever presented, and I also happen to think it has never looked better than what I saw last night. To my eyes, it was gorgeous.

Bob Furmanek and Greg Kintz work miracles with modest budgets and on tight schedules, but one might never realize it from what we saw at Cinefamily/Spectrefest. The 2-D segments, restored from a fine grain element by the folks at TIFF, looked clean and sharp to these eyes. The 3-D segments, brought back to their full visual splendor by the masterful Greg Kintz, looked even better. The stereographer on The Mask, Charles W. Smith, was one of the all-time greats, and his original technical choices, along with Greg's fine-tuning of alignment and other variables, make for some very comfortable-to-view 3-D. But this is also exuberant 3-D, generous with positive parallax depth but also playfully enthusiastic in its use of "transgressive," off-the-screen pop-out moments. The Mask does more with 3-D in its three hallucinatory segments (running a total of just under 15 minutes) than most present-day 3-D movies do in 90 or 120 minutes. Without giving too much away in terms of plot (for the sake of those who have never seen The Mask), these sequences manage to create a very eerie and mysterious feel. As anecdotal evidence of their power, Maria could not stop talking about them. They really got under her skin.

I hope to share more when time and circumstances permit, but I want Greg and Bob and all the world to know that seeing The Mask in this restored state has enhanced my appreciation for this ambitious thriller with its audacious 3-D sequences. If you're looking forward to the Blu-Ray, as I am, then believe me, you're in for a real treat.

[Let me add, for those who may not realize, the Blu-Ray will include both the original anaglyphic incarnation and the discrete left and right images for playback on modern, color-neutral 3-D television equipment, so you can enjoy the film either way you prefer.]

From internationally award-winning animation studio and production company Unanico Group, and visionary rock musician Brian May, a 3D phenomenon of 1860s Paris is unleashed on the 21st century. “One Night in Hell” is a devilish and spectacular animation short that tells the story of one skeleton’s journey into a stereoscopic Hell. The film features exclusive new music from Brian May & the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. http://www.onenightinhell.com/
