Fantastic, I'm so glad they didn't miss this mega sci-fi classic's 50th anniversary.

For $60, I'd hope they include a model of Robbie the Robot -- I can't think of anything else to justify the price.

For both editions, the movie, in a new widescreen version, has been digitally transferred from restored film and audio elements, while the soundtrack has been remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1.
Extras include commentaries, additional scenes, three documentaries and two subsequent programs featuring the movie's celebrated Robby the Robot: the 1958 MGM feature film "The Invisible Boy" and the "Robot Client" episode from TV's "The Thin Man."

[bites fist] Can't we have it now and forget about the "we're releasing it in November" malarkey!
Whoa really can't wait for this, so Invisible Boy is a bonus movie than? Nice.

Tremendous news indeed! Great job Warner Bros. (And you just

Re: Warner announces Forbidden Planet for November
Unless the Maltese Falcon set is really good, I think this is going to be the DVD of the year.
I have a collection of model robots on top of my computer, and Robbie will look great between Bender and the Cylon.
And then we get The Invisible Boy, too!
