This beautiful masterpiece is worthy of a physical copy
In today's world when it is too easy to simply find digital copies of our movies, having this on physical is a beauty. It's one of my favorite animated films of all time, a must have.

MOVIE: 5.0 • VIDEO: 4.8 • AUDIO: 4.8
FORMAT: Blu-Ray UPC: 8-83929-52529-4 RELEASED: 2016-09-06TITLE: Iron Giant, The (1999) [Signature Edition] • PG • 1:29:59 Jennifer Aniston; Harry Connick, Jr.; Vin Diesel, Christopher McDonald Brad Bird (Director) MOVIE: 5.0 • VIDEO: 4.8 (35.1 Mbps) • AUDIO: 4.8 Iron Giant, The (1999) [Theatrical Edition] • PG • 1:26:39 Jennifer Aniston; Harry Connick, Jr.; Vin Diesel, Christopher McDonald Brad Bird (Director) MOVIE: ?.? • VIDEO: ?.? (35.2 Mbps) • AUDIO: ?.? The first time that I saw this movie was when it initially became available on home-video, back in November of 1999. I thought then (as I do now) that it was VERY refreshing to see an animated movie that did NOT have any of its characters bursting into song. Also, just as pleasing, was the fact that it did NOT have any cute, cuddly talking animals — whose ONLY real purpose for being in the movie is to sell merchandise to kids (yes, I'm looking at you Disney). And, I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that, though it is ostensibly for kids, it is still a very smart movie that didn't insult the intelligence of its viewers. By now most people are probably familiar with the story of how this movie — which bombed horribly upon its initial theatrical release in the fall of 1999 — has since then gone on to become a highly respected and MUCH beloved cinematic classic. I believe that the reason that this movie is now so well liked is because it can be enjoyed on so many different levels — which is why BOTH adults AND children absolutely love it. Plus, it's just a glorious example of old-school, (mostly) hand-drawn, animation as an art form. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. NOTE: I bought this set for the "Signature Edition" version of the movie (since I already had a very serviceable copy of the original "Theatrical Edition" on DVD) — therefore, while I sampled portions of the "Theatrical Edition" version that is contained in this set (just to make sure that it wasn't defective), I don't have any plans to EVER watch it in its entirety. So, ALL of the following "video" and "audio" information pertains to the "Signature Edition" version ONLY. (But, if I ever do watch ALL of the "Theatrical Edition" version, then I'll come back and update this review.) See the other reviews on this page for more detail and/or other opinions regarding the plot of the movie.VIDEO: 2.4:1 • Color • 1080p • MPEG-4 AVC This movie's image features dazzling, over-saturated colors, sharply rendered panoramic vistas, and very good apparent depth. It also has very good, to frequently excellent, contrast and has very good shadow detail (as seen in the many dark and shadowy areas, such as the night scenes located at the very beginning of the movie, and the dark scenes located in the forest). Also, fine detail is frequently evident in some of the brighter scenes and in the close-ups of the characters. Lastly, there are no obvious artifacts such as banding, specks, white dots, hair-lines or color fluctuations (probably because it is an animated feature, which makes extensive use of CGI [which is an observation, and NOT a complaint]). Overall, this movie's presentation on blu-ray has VERY good, to frequently excellent, picture quality — and, should satisfy all but the very pickiest of viewers.AUDIO: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (48 KHz, 24-bit) This is another soundtrack that, if it was a 7.1 mix, I would rate a 5+ for sound quality without hesitation — as it is, it is still one of the very BEST sounding audio presentations that you will ever hear on a home theater system regardless of the number of channels. It has deep bass, very active and highly directional surround channels, clear well-placed dialog, ambient sounds that effectively convey the on-screen environment, and some of the best recorded music that I have ever heard in a film's soundtrack. This is an outstanding soundtrack, that should satisfy all but the ABSOLUTE pickiest of listeners!EXTRAS: Director's Commentary Deleted Scenes Several 'Making Of' Videos Trailers None of the extras were reviewed.

Great Movie!
I purchased this movie for my grandkids, because my three sons watched it when they were young. My three sons loved this movie and I was extremely pleased to find it in DVD. This specific DVD was a used purchase and it came in great condition, just as the description said.Totally recommend purchasing. Thanks!

Film stupendo
Uno dei più bei lungometraggi di animazione di ogni tempo. Sia il soggetto che la sceneggiatura sono eccellenti, e la produzione impeccabile!Consigliatissimo per tutti, grandi e piccini.

A very rare collector's item!
Their are only 15,000, and I am lucky to find one at a reasonable price. A very nice edition to my collection and a very entertaining movie (original and extended editions)!
