"Picture and sound quality is a bit improved, but other than that you are spending money on the exact same DVD. Usually, when a 'Collector's Edition' is released, especially after a movie gains such a huge cult following like Lebowski has, people actually go through the effort of including cast commentaries, more bonus features, and...well, more than just repackaging the old DVD with a new name, a new cover, and a higher retail price.
Shame on Universal and Focus Features."
"The worst season of The Sopranos and they're going to charge full price for HALF of the season? If I ever feel the need to watch one of those lousy episodes again I think I'll download it from the web somewhere, but I'm not going to pay a jacked up price for this one.
Maybe this show should have ended after five seasons."
"One of Tim Burton's absolute best. To answer the previous question, it's the same DVD as the initial release. It comes in big box (that's the cover shown) and this one includes the 24 page hardcover book 'Fairy Tale for a Grown Up.'"
"Great animation and story. I took my 3 yr old to see the movie at a preview and that's all she has talked about for the last 2 days. I think she enjoyed it as much as I did. It will be on my wish list for Christmas (and I'm 36 yrs old). You have to take your kids to see it."
