Escaflowne - Collection 2 (Animated) (Box Set)

Advantages: Its got the two films and four excellent discs.
Disadvantages: none

...Having lost my previous release of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 3 disc box set i was happy to find this new 4 disc release in the dvd charts for £19.96 in Tesco. This is a special edition so i'm guessing it won't be available after a short while.

Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula'). The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired. For those who are interested all films are anamorphic, some for the first time, and completely uncut. My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role.
