Do you know what you get with this massive 11 disk collection? Absolutely nothing you wouldn't have gotten simply getting the individual disks. Three disks are dedicated to Cars, and by that I mean you get the same move on Blu-Ray, DVD and digital copy. Cars 2 is the same only you also get a 3D Blu-Ray Disk and a Blu-Ray bonus features disk in addition to all the rest. The third "movie" is Mater's Tall Tales, which is only about 90 minutes worth of content when you include all the special features, also sports BD, DVD and digital copy disks.
This is no special Director's Cut or Alternate Scenes type edition like the name Director's Edition may imply. The only thing I can find to give it that moniker is a toy car the set includes that was in Cars 2. This car was director John Lasseter's "screen debut", and that's just about all it is. There are no features exclusive to this collection other than the novelty box and die cast "John Lassetire" car. And I'm betting even that will end up being in toy stores eventually. Sure you can say the digital copies for the original Cars movie and Mater's Tall Tales are exclusives, but that's only temporary until the next release of those disks. Trust me.
The price point is too iffy for me to say this is a good deal when trying to get the whole collection at once. Do you really need a 3D disk if you don't have a 3D television? Are digital copies worth that much to get this collection instead of the cheaper separate disks? Then you have the fact the collection is put in a keepsake style case that looks very much like it will just be foam inserts much like the Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box Collection (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy). At the very least it would take up much more shelf space than the individual disks. So for the casual fan I have to say no. Nothing to see here. This is only for the big Cars fans who want the collectible appeal of this collection. Cars Director's Edition (Cars / Cars 2 / Mater's Tall Tales) (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)
11 DISC SET! With 3D, Blu-ray, DVD's and Digital Copies of both films and Tall Tales. If you are a Cars fan or just love the Cars series, then this is the box set to go! By the way, this comes out in 11/1/11. - Willy Wonka - Gene Wilder - Family Films - Classic Movie'
