A crowded commentary begins the features set on disc one with Dennis Muren, Phil Tippett, Arnold Kunert, and of course Ray Harryhausen. Harryhausen speaks most of the time, as the others ask questions as to how things were done. It’s highly informative in terms of the industry at the time and how the effects were done on a shot by shot basis.
Remembering 20 Million Miles to Earth begins the second disc. It runs close to a half hour, with interviews and comments from people around the film industry. Harryhausen is featured extensively. The Colorization Process is a great look at how the new version came to be, though it feels like an extended infomercial. It also addresses why it was done, and how Harryhausen feels about this new edition.

Tim Burton Sits with Ray Harryhausen is an extended face-to-face meeting between the two men. Their chat is informative and fun, including some showcasing of props from Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. It runs quite long at 27 minutes.

A Joan Taylor interview catches up with the lead actress today, and she discusses her career at length. There is very little mention until the end of this 17-minute talking head piece about the Harryhausen films she was in, and even bobbles recalling the term stop motion animation.

Film Music’s Unsung Hero is a retrospective hosted by David Schechter. This is another long one, looking at the stock or only slightly altered stock tracks crafted by Mischa Bakalenikoff. His familiar themes would be used in countless films.

A digital comic serves as a sequel to the film, and is filled with solid art, though it’s a shame the physical version wasn’t in the case. Instead, they provide the first few pages which don’t do much to make the content interesting, and turn it into an advertisement for the series.

Four photo galleries contain enough pieces of material for any fan. Finally, an 18-minute featurette looks as the advertising from the era, from lobby cards to detailed press kits. This is tons of material for a movie of this age.

Both It Came From Beneath the Sea and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers are due for release in their own re-release on DVD. However, there is no indication these are coming to Blu-ray, which is a shame. They both equally deserve a hi-def presentation as much as 20 Million.
