This Disney/Buena Vista release does a fabulous job presenting the movie, which is a good thing considering there are no supplemental materials of any consequence.

George Miller's follow-up to the family favorite The Never Ending Story comes to DVD with two transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Subtitles for all four of those languages are accessible as well. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This disc should please fans of the film, but there may not be enough here to interest casual DVD consumers.

Francis Ford Coppola's visually and emotionally compelling, Academy award-nominated biopic Tucker: The Man and His Dream comes to DVD with a widescreen, anamorphic transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, and a few worthwhile features, including a detailed but entertaining commentary track by Coppola. The "making of" featurette "Under the Hood: Making Tucker" adds further insight into the creative processes behind the film, but the disc's most interesting extra is "Tucker: The Man and the Car," a 1948 promotional film about Preston Tucker and his "car of the future," about which Coppola also provides a commentary. Though it isn't crammed full of bonuses, the DVD of Tucker: The Man and His Dream chooses quality over quantity, providing just enough supplements to enrich the film instead of detract from it.

Yes!! It is very much worth it. They make your tv look the very best that it can in your setting. I would recommend anyone doing this with a tv 42" or larger.
