Toy Story: 10th Anniversary Edition
To be brutally honest, there is not a whole lot in this new 2-disc set that viewers who previously bought the Ultimate Toy Box will not already have seen. While the new featurettes are mostly interesting, and in audio-visual terms there has been an incremental increase in quality, on the whole the changes are not really noticeable enough to justify a repurchase for casual viewers. While this is admittedly a very nice package, it is on the whole incomplete, and, despite the claims of Lasseter and co, screams "cash-in". Taken on its own terms, though (i.e. ignoring the existence of previous versions), it constitutes an excellent release.
To cash in on... sorry, celebrate... the tenth anniversary of the release of Toy Story, the film that changed the landscape of animation forever, Buena Vista have put together a new 2-disc special edition release combining past extras from the earlier Ultimate Toy Box release with new materials produced specially for this set, including a new transfer and DTS audio mix. I find out whether or not this is actually a worthwhile upgrade over previous releases or just a cynical money-grabbing ploy.
