Adventures Of Baron Munchausen, The

Terry Gilliam’s commentary on analog track 2 is illuminating with insights into the director’s creative vision of filmmaking. The supplemental section contains four sequences deleted from the final release and outtakes from the King of the Moon scene with Robin Williams. There is an analysis of the film’s script, including storyboards documenting scenes never filmed and a detailed accounting of one of the most outrageous production stories in film history, featuring interviews with co-writer Charles McKeown, producer Thomas Schuhly, production designer Dante Ferretti, and costume designer Gabriella Pescucci. The original theatrical trailer, production sketches and historical notes on the character of Munchausen with clips and stills of previous film versions are included.

A marvelous imaginative fantasy adventure about the travels and exploits of a legendary 18th century German storyteller. A maddening compilation of inventive special effets and eccentric characters take the viewer on a ride to the moon, the bowels of the earth and the belly of a whale, all the while ensuring fun family entertainment.
