Unreleased 1946 Disney Film Coming to DVD

Yesterday I was reading a press release for the latest slew of Disney films slated to receive the Platinum Edition treatment on DVD. In the midst of the list of classics like Pinocchio, Snow White and Beauty and the Beast, I read this tidbit:

In conjunction with these releases, Destino, the unfinished animated feature film created by Walt Disney and famed surrealist painter Salvador Dali will release. Begun in 1946, it was rediscovered in 2003 and completed by Walt's nephew, Roy E. Disney. The collaboration between these two legendary artists will be available to own for the first time along with an all-new feature-length documentary that examines the surprising partnership between Dali and Disney.

This is certain to be an interesting film, and I'm excited that it's also receiving the documentary treatment. Those of us who love to immerse ourselves in Disney lore will get a behind-the-scenes look at this interesting and surprising lost treasure.

Iron Man on DVD Sept. 30

Delivering non-stop action and excitement from a super hero who boasts not only unique powers, but also irresistible charm, penetrating intelligence and a wry wit, Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures' worldwide box office sensation Iron Man soars onto DVD and Blu-ray on September 30, 2008.

Paramount Home Entertainment presents spectacular Ultimate Edition two-disc sets on both DVD and Blu-ray, as well as in a single-disc DVD. Iron Man thrilled both critics and audiences around the world with its captivating story and stunning visual effects. The film features an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow. It was directed by Jon Favreau.

Earning over $315 million in the domestic box office to date, Iron Man lifts off with high-speed, high-flying action when jet-setting industrialist Tony Stark survives an unexpected attack in enemy territory and escapes by building a high-tech robotic suit of armor. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. Straight from the pages of the legendary comic book, Iron Man is a hero who is built -- not born -- to be unlike any other!

The Iron Man Ultimate Edition two-disc sets are super-charged with hours of explosive bonus features that take viewers inside the suit of self-made Super Hero Tony Stark and his invincible alter ego. The sets offer the ultimate IRON MAN experience with extensive explorations of the origins of the character in a six-part featurette, as well as a seven-part in-depth look at the making of the film, a revealing documentary on the stellar visual effects, Robert Downey Jr.'s original screen test, deleted and extended scenes, a photo gallery of concept art and behind-the-scenes images on the set and more.
