I love this movie! And I don't own it yet! NICE!
me to...time to pick it up
Blu Ray... holler.
Not to sound greedy............but that is all we get? Granted the film being remastered is the main draw. But beyond that all we get is a few of the toons?
yeah i actually dont own this either, im picking it up.
count me in the "down own yet" crowd.
i'm actually surprised since i've always liked it and would usualy watch it when on tv. i had it recorded on a VHS tape though, oh the 80s..lol
as for the extras, i do hope there's something more. i mean why call it an anniversary edition if you have nothing on there to celebrate said anniversary.....sure Poltergeist pulled the same c**p but yeah.

I may upgraded, I have the old flipper case. The improved picture would be nice. I hope they announce some special features. It's not like the stars of this film have anything better to do.
How about the Daylight Come and Me Wanna Go Home version.
This is a good add to the collection. But what's the dealio on the extras? There should be trailers, bloopers and interviews from press junkets, at least. I just don't get it sometimes but who knows maybe more info is on its way.

I own the old flipper-snapper, so now I'll probably get the Blu-ray. Fingers crossed for more extras.
YES! I knew it! I've held off buying this movie for years in hopes of a special edition, I'm so glad I did!
But is all were getting the cartoon episodes? I mean, the show was great, but comeon.

Yes! FINALLY! It's about time they announced this, We've been awaiting this for a LONG time!
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice
Well I've been asking for this for a very long time, and while I appreciate the remastered video, I am quite disappointed that there aren't any making-of featurettes etc. Oh well, this is probably all we're gunna get so I guess I'll finally bite.
Been waiting for this one for a long time.
Finally!!
just sad to see the lack of interesting special features.
Now where is the "Mars Attacks!" special, deluxe, collector's or 2-disc edition.

Hopefully it has a cast commentary.
I second the request for a Mars Attacks SE. Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks were released on DVD in '97 & '98...It's been 10 years since the DVD's were released, and they are great sellers! An upgrade is long overdue.
Glad I waited.
oh my yes, mars attacks SE would rock. its the reason i never bought it, figured a better edition would come.
you know come to think of it, most of Burton's movies were through WB, im surprised they never attemped a box set of them all.

Don't be mean with the extras, Warner!
We want more extras on the Beetlejuice BD and a Mars Attacks! SE BD release Warner! Why not throw in a Pee-Wee's Big Adventure BD release as well!? Hope you're reading this!
Mars Attacks! is one of my absolute favorite Burton films, it always gives me a good laugh! Mars Attacks! is a a classic!

Deluxe?? There's nothing deluxe about this edition. Remember when a billing like that meant that there actually were some solid extras on the dvd? This is just another lazy release from Warner like last year's 'Poltergeist'. "Ey, do we have some kind of "extras" to put on that new Beetlejuice dvd? No, just throw some of those cheap cartoons on it. Now they at least can't call it a 'vanilla disc'.
I know Tim Burton isn't that keen on commentaries and stuff but they could at least gather together some of the actors for some kind of retrospective doc. Wasted opportunity!

At least we're getting a new transfer, but this is yes, just as disappointing extras-wise as Poltergeist & the Ace Ventura 3-disc set (which only had new cartoon extras)
www.TVshowsondvd.com says the Blu-Ray will have a soundtrack sampler as well with the release.

OMG FINALLY a Beetlejuice SE that we've all waited for for years!!! and...that's all we get, yeah I'll stick with the original DVD I have in a keep case.
Finally!!! Let's hope that all the features have yet to be revealed. Keaton & Burton commentary anyone??
Oh, I'm so buying it! Freaking love this movie.
i have been waiting for this movie to come out delux for awhile finally i will have it
I was going through Burton's filmography on IMDB to add films to my wish list recently and I had to leave this and Pee-wee's Big Adventure off of it. Now I can add this to it. The extras are a disappointment though. From what I've read, Burton doesn't like to do commentaries, but at least a cast or crew commentary would be nice. The remastered presentation is a draw though. I never watched the cartoon show, so that could be fun too. By the way, directors like Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Burton need to get over their commentary aversion. I want to know what went into making their films firsthand. F**king secretive b***hes.
blu for me.
