I saw this in a "theater" (read: college lecture hall). It is very good. the content is quite diverse, and some of it I just didn't 'get.'(Adventures of Ricardo) If you are a fan of independant animation, then you owe it to yourself to pick this up. You have to go to The Animation Show's website if you want it.

I'm a little dissapointed that not ALL of the shorts from the theatrical tour are on the DVD ("Mars and Beyond segment" and "Ident") but the set is never the less very good.

The "Mars and Beyond" was only an excerpt. The full one is 30 minutes and includes other planets and such.

It is in the new Tomorrowland DVD set coming out this month!

I think this set is also available from Amazon -- at least I saw it there yesterday, if I am not mistaken.

It's true, the set will also be available from Amazon. Personally, I think the DVD is worth getting alone for the new Hertzfeldt shorts, plus of course the absolutely wonderful "Billy's Balloon". Morbid humor at it's best!
