From Entertainment Weekly:

It’s been almost 25 years since Edward Scissorhands — Tim Burton’s unlikely love story featuring Winona Ryder, Anthony Michael Hall, and Johnny Depp as the world’s most gentle Frankenstein monster. And in celebration, Fox Home Entertainment is releasing a restored, special-edition Blu-ray.

The commemorative package, which will be released on Oct. 13, can be pre-ordered at San Diego Comic-Con this week. Fans who pre-order will also be able to snag an exclusive limited-edition lithograph (below), designed by artist Mark Englert in partnership with Gallery 1988.

“Edward Scissorhands is one of those timeless movies that just works on so many levels,” Englert said in a press release. “I love how the movie portrays creativity, success, love, fleeting acceptance, and the intense isolation that comes with being that special kind of different.”

The set will come with collectible film-inspired premium items, and will also include never-before-seen bonus footage. Preview the package below, as well as the official 25th anniversary logo.

Spoiler: SDCC 2015 lithograph

Someone probably hijacked it to take out the Topiary Air-Freshener, and then reseal it...

So popped this open and only the dvd says anniversary edition. Is the blu ray just a standard transfer or is there no difference and they just stamped 25th anniversary on the package?

I have read various reviews from people who have owned the VHS up to the current edition, and they say this edition looks stunning. So this must clearly be a case of mislabeling the discs. (They are they new remaster, but the blu ray just doesn't say it on the disc).
I haven't looked at mine yet...so I can't give concrete testimonial to that yet. But 20th Century Fox would be in a world of trouble if the bluray disc was not the 25th anniversay remaster (as advertised).
