A Town Called Panic: The Collection (2009) - December 19, 2017

There is cover art for this, and it's up on Amazon but there are no further details about the contents. Curious if anyone knows exactly what it will entail.

GKids released a double feature of new specials, and the art on the Blu-ray matches that, so both of those will presumably be included, but they called that "Double Fun," and this is "The Collection," so presumably it includes more stuff. HiDefDigest says the running time is 160 minutes, but who knows how reliable that is. If it is correct, that means there's another 100 minutes of content beyond the 60-minute "Double Fun" material.

It would be nice if the movie got an HD release here (75 of the remaining 100 minutes), but I don't know how much short content there was before they made the movie.

Awesome! Loved the shorts when I was younger. Amazing if they are included here.

Confirmed to have pretty much everything but the film. I got the Canadian BD so this'll be a great addition.

1st day buy if the old short movies are in HD too.

It would be great to have them in HD.

Maybe someone can ask Shout Factory via Facebook (I don't have an account there)?

The movie is still with Zeitgeist, which means Kino Lorber would be the distributor if a US Blu-ray were to ever surface (Zeitgeist also works with Christopher Nolan sometimes).

The Canadian disc seems to still be in print, though.

FYI, I have now received this, and the shorts are in SD. Both the two specials and the shorts have both French and English audio.

A shame about the shorts, but it's good to have everything available. Is the English audio the UK dubs by Aardman, or is it something else?

Does anyone know if this is region locked or not?

Sorry for digging up an old thread.

Is the feature of this release (green cover art) also included with A Town Called Panic: The Collection?

Apparently not. This is extracted from the Product Description section on this set's Amazon entry, I hope it helps: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075KV2ZXW

The shorts are just as good as the show, which is making its way to US shores for the first time. Highly recommended.

Thanks! It's kind of difficult to locate that green coverart feature. I thought maybe I already had it within The Collection.
