No matter how much the effort, how hard the work, how much the anticipation, there will always be someone to complain that the i isn't dotted. It's the nature of the beast.

The ArcLight may be out of business but the Cinerama Dome has been declared a cultural historical monument (in 1998) so it's not going anywhere. For a special event like a restored version of The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm, I'm sure arrangements could be made for a special showing...

The Cinerama Dome seems like the obvious place.

When I buy a movie, I don't need/want "textured hard covers with glossy, heavily-illustrated booklets". Just the movie, please. When Criterion gave me fat cumbersome booklets (Red River, The Furies etc.), they ended up in the trash! But then again, on the rare occasion I eat Cracker Jack, I toss...

Please, NO! Those digibook cases are eyesores. IF that hideous idea comes to pass, at make the title available in regular blu ray cases too.

Well, almost. Not to nitpick but Juanita Hall who plays Madame Liang is African American (courtesy of her father) and Irish (courtesy of her mother).

I know it's way too early to be talking about extras/bonus features but Claire Bloom, Barbara Eden, Yvette Mimieux and Russ Tamblyn are still with us so it would be great if they could get interviews with them about the making of the film.

Yes, it should. With inflation, it should be retitled "My 6 cents worth on "Brothers Grimm".

I suspect like the threads on The Alamo, Raintree County and Ryan's Daughter, this thread will continually pop up every six months or at least annually with the usual any news yet question?

With rare exceptions, animated movies aren't my bag. Even as a kid, stuff like Snow White And The 7 Dwarfs, Pinocchio and Dumbo were a chore to sit through. The latter two aren't in my collection and the only reason Snow White is is because of sentimental reasons. It was my mother's all time...

I have absolutely no issues with that statement. It was the hyperbolic "all time great scores" that was a head scratcher. Leigh Harline is a fine film composer but if I had to choose a best score from him, it would be Broken Lance (1954) which is a real beauty. I just don't see Harline's TWWOTBG...

All time great scores? I assume you're talking about the other Cinerama feature How The West Was Won (with its stunning Alfred Newman score) as opposed to The Wonderful World Of the Brothers Grimm. I've seen TWWOTBG and can barely remember the music and I'm a positive geek about film scores.

While the market for "classic" films is certainly dwindling (and probably at an all time low), musicals (especially in color) and peplum still have their fans (though at this point in time, perhaps cult is a better word) and along with horror and sci-fi have respectable sales. Pre-code B&W...

The Warners Archives are generously filled with B&W Academy ratio pre-codes. But if you're talking blu ray, c'mon, do you really believe there's a profitable market for B&W pre code films on blu ray?

Quite right! While there are are small minority (myself among them) of the "better something than nothing at all" school, Hell hath no fury than a certain segment when a blu ray is released in less than pristine condition. These are the same people angry with Warners for "withholding" Around The...

Not only do I seriously doubt there are 10,000 people out there who would cough up $100, I seriously doubt Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm would sell 10,000 copies!

Maybe if we create a go fund me page and each contribute $10,000 apiece towards that million plus Grimm restoration, it would help. After all, fans of Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm would put money where their mouth is, wouldn't we. ;)
