Visual effects take center stage in two of today’s home video releases. Despite positive reviews, Disney’s Sky High was largely overlooked when it arrived in theaters over the summer. Now audiences get another chance to check out the family comedy written by Disney’s Kim Possible creators Robert Schooley and Mark McCorkle, along with Paul Hernandez, and featuring visual effects by Asylum VFX, Furious FX and Lola Visual Effects. The film stars Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston as superheroes who send their son to a very special high-school to help him discover his super powers. The disc includes an alternate opening, a blooper reel, a featurette on the film’s stunt work, a making-of featurette with the cast and crew, and a music video for the Bowling for Soup song “I Melt with You.” The Buena Vista Home Entertainment release lists for $29.99.
Universal Home Video offers up the Jurassic Park Adventure Pack, which includes the feature films Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III packaged together for around $26.98. The set comes loaded with special features, including commentary by the special effects teams, making-of documentaries, deleted scenes, early pre-production meetings, Phil Tippett’s stop-motion animatics, storyboards, production archives, a dinosaur encyclopedia, theatrical trailers, production notes, a tour of Stan Winston Studio, a visit to ILM, posters and DVD-ROM features.
