Hmm. I Netflixed the special edition of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which I'd seen ... a good special edition with good new documentaries, though Williams isn't in the commentary =(

The Thief rates a few mentions in the "trivia track." Eighteen years later, Who Framed Roger Rabbit seems just as much of a technical achievement and miracle as it did then. Such a great film, brilliantly directed, animated, performed and effects-ized. Er. A rare combination of talents.

Bit of Star Wars related trivia - obviously there are a few Star Wars connections to Roger, most obvious being the presence of Richard Le Parmentier as Lt. Santino. But here's my favorite - in many of Jessica's scenes, the music is being improvised by a group of jazz musicians, including soloist Jerry Hey. Jerry Hey would later ... well, you know.

Anyway.

What they sent is actually disc 2 of the set, the widescreen version and the "adult" special features.

If I recall correctly, disc 1 is the pan & scan version with special features for kids.

I assume the trailer is on disc 1. It ain't on disc 2. I'd quite like to have the trailer. Might come in handy.

Anyone got this set?

Patrick?
