5.0 out of 5 starsThat it looks good on a TV and the movie extends the story better than the original cut

The director's cut of the film is better if I say so myself. Not only does the story put in some more scenes for depth, but the cinematography also looks great. The dialogue has some noticeable changes from certain scenes which are better as well. All in all, this version of the film is better in all aspects.
Added footage is just so-so for telling the story. What looked amazing at the cinema looks totally crap on 4K screen… really needs to be a modern rescan to bring it up to par.
The film has terrific visuals and story line but on the DVD I bought of the director's cut the color contrast seems much too high. The brights are too bright and the darks too dark giving it a washed out quality.
2.0 out of 5 starsBetter off buying the standard theatrical version

The extra added scenes are decent and don't rake away from the movie. Completely disappointed in the ending of this version. Done away entirely of the finale song and the bringing back to life of the unicorn at the end for those who remember it. So much for directors cut.
