Well Dave Stevens did put together some anniversary stuff before Disney passed on it. So, Disney should still have that stuff for this anniversary disc. Still, this is one good Christmas present and makes up for the nonsense that's happening with the Star Wars release...

Wow, that sucks... Yeah, I can't say it'd be much of a surprise if they didn't put anything with it. It sure would be nice if it had something. I'd kill for some commentary tracks but I'm not holding my breath on that.
It may be best not to hold our breaths for special features. If the least we get is a cleaned up transfer than we should count ourselves lucky.
I'm happy to finally see this come to blu-ray, and will still hope that Disney has big plans for the release.

Nice, Rocketeer was a good movie. One of Joe Johnson's better directed film.

Looks like I'll be getting my first Bluray player for Christmas. :thumbsup
Its going to be such a pleasureable viewing experience to see this in full HD, with a cleaned up print of the film.
Sometimes this movie just brings a tear to my eye how much I love it!

Review:
The Rocketeer Blu-ray - Jennifer Connelly
Not surprised it's a barebones release. Just a trailer? C'mon Disney, you can do way better than that.

Well, I heard from a little birdie that Disney actually handed over a TON of extras to Disney Home Video and was turned down since some of it was already posted on Youtube or other sites. AND that Disney Home Video basically "took" the copy that was shown at the D23 event, which was paid for by D23 I believe and not Disney Home Video.
Disney just REALLY doesn't want The Rocketeer to succeed... boooo!!!!

I'm still buying it.
A nice reivew - I am very upset Disney opted to exclude any additional features other than a standard "trailer" which even the cheapest of movies on video will have.
Fact is, weather Disney cares to admit it or not, there are a LOT of people to have passion, love and appreciation for this movie and it is nothing short of a tradgedy that more was not done with the anniversery release.
Though - beggers cannot be choosers and I am at the very least, happy that this is finally getting the Blu ray treatment.

Technically, the entire movie is on youtube as well. Weak excuse, if you ask me.
I think it's the stigma that's been following it as not a successful movie (financially) thus only releasing it to pander to the "few" fans out there.
