Wizards Blu-ray

Posted January 10, 2012 01:08 PM by Josh Katz

20th Century FoxTwentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release a 35th Anniversary Edition of Wizards this March. Directed by Ralph Bakshi (Fire and Ice), this animated adventure centers on kindly sorcerer Avatar as he navigates through a post-apocalyptic Earth.

From Fox's official press release:

"Avatar's evil brother, Blackwolf, dominates Scortch, a bleak land of goblins and wraiths. When the power-hungry Blackwolf attacks Montagar [a rainbow paradise inhabited by elves and fairies], Avatar, accompanied only by a spirited young woman and a courageous elf, must enter the darkness of Scortch to save his world."

Fox's 35th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray presents the film in its 1.85:1 original aspect ratio with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. The Digibook release also contains the following supplements:
  • Digibook packaging has 24-pages of artwork, some never-before-seen
  • Special message from Bakshi
Wizards is expected to street on March 13th.

Not a big Ralph Bakshi fan, but glad to see more traditional animation on Blu-ray.

Finally! Looks like the petition has paid off! This look nice along side my other cult classics from this period, Heavy Metal and Rock & Rule!

Surprised that Fox is giving this a Digi-Book release. Hopefully that means they treated the film with lots of care.

It seems to be missing the commentary from the UK Region Free release. Hopefully this isn't the case. I'll be getting this copy anyways. Hopefully the PQ/AQ was treated with some care.

As well as the commentary it seems to be missing the featurette and teaser/ trailers. If they are too lazy to port over the extras from the DVD then I don't how much much confidence I have in the trasfer.

Not a fan of Ralph Bakshi too, I just have Lord of the Rings simply because of the story and that's it.

Being a fan of stories like LOTR, Dungeons & Dragons, and all kind of Fantasy/Medieval adventures, is it worth a blind buy?

I am glad I held off in buying the import. Day 1 for me.

Darn! I thought this was 'The Wizard' staring Fred Savage. The Nintendo propaganda movie.

Damn, it being a digibook might tempt me into double dipping. Hopefully this means we'll see "Heavy Traffic" and "Fritz the Cat" soon.

"Digibook packaging has 24-pages of artwork, some never-before-seen"

Well, I hope the people drawing the artwork were able to see it.

Well that was unexpected. Reckon I'll have to upgrade my DVD.

The book looks nice, but I'd be more excited if this wasn't something that has been out on a decent BD region-free in the UK for near-two years.
