I'm assuming that it's not kosher to attach links to other website boards, but hopefully the image will attach... but there will be a digibook 35th anniversary release of Ralph Bahski's Wizards on March 13th from 20th Century Fox in the US.

One of Bakshi's best. I already have the UK Eureka Blu-Ray but will be happy to double dip, there should be some great images from the animation in this

Available here

Horhay sent me some info on this last night

Should only be 19.99

Los Angeles, CA (January 10, 2012) –Twentieth Century Fox’s first-ever animated film, created by renowned director Ralph Bakshi, WIZARDS appears in a 35th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray + Book release on March 13 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the “epic fantasy of peace and magic” stars the voice talent of Mark Hamill (Star Wars Saga). The special edition Blu-ray + Book release is a must-have for fans and collectors, featuring 24-pages of amazing artwork from the film, some of the artwork never-before-seen, and a special message from Bakshi!


Set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, this fantasy adventure follows the story of Avatar, the kindly, eccentric sorcerer-ruler of Montagar, a rainbow paradise inhabited by elves and fairies. Avatar's evil brother, Blackwolf, dominates Scortch, a bleak land of goblins and wraiths. When the power-hungry Blackwolf attacks Montagar, Avatar, accompanied only by a spirited young woman and a courageous elf, must enter the darkness of Scortch to save his world.


WIZARDS will be available as a Blu-ray + Book release for the ARP of $19.99. Prebook is February 15th.

region A ?

region A ?

Since its Fox it is quite likely to be region A only. If you're not worried about the digibook (or want to create your own Region B version digibook!), the Eureka Region B "amaray version" is available here (only £8.29 at the moment!)

I saw this in store, very big. Almost dvd like and very thin like Tora Tora Tora ... but it was very nice.

Long time fan of Bakshi, lovely looking edition as well. Absolute must-buy for me

Did anyone pick this up? I did not see this at my Best Buy so I was wondering if this would be a very limited run on these. I know I can probably order it from Amazon, but I like to pick up my own Digibooks to check for imperfections.

I have this. It's like all the Fox digibooks, very thin and kind of dinky when compared to the Warner digis. You're doing the right thing trying to find this in a store as you never know what Amazon will send you. Most of Fox's digis seem to have off-center printing on the spines, which drives me nuts. I bought mine at FYE, and luckily it was a well-centered one. It was the only one they had, and no other store had this, not Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart,etc.

My Tora Tora Tora spine drives me nuts!
