Summary: A masterpiece
Review: Perhaps one of the best Urusei Yatsura movies out there, Beautiful Dreamer is a surrelist, fun and adorably twisted film that hooks you as you wander into the world of dreams were everyday is the School Festival day.Not only does it have the usual UY humor, (you know what I'm talking about) it really is a mysterious movie. But the ending --boy, I laughed till I choked!

Summary: Surreal and involving.
Review: The best animated work I've seen yet based on a Rumiko Takahashi work (Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, etc), this amusing and downright bizarre film is among the first films to hook me on anime. Based on Japanese mythology, this is an interesting take on what amounts to the Japanese Rip Van Winkle. The whole town seems to be living the same day over and over again. This is the kind of film where it doesn't all quite make sense until you've watched it a few times, and the great thing is it's got a sense of fun and weirdness that keeps it appealing on each repeated viewing. It helps if you know who the characters are ahead of time, but it's not completely necessary as long as you are willing to let the character dynamics explain it to you. Enjoy!

Summary: A great, mind-bending adventure
Review: The first time I saw this movie, my reaction was "...what--?" But that is one of the reasons I immediately loved it. There's not much to say that hasn't been said here, but for those of you not familiar with the series, this is a good introduction, although much of it is confusing if you're not familiar with the plot and characters. In the context, however, this doesn't really matter--in fact, it adds to the surrealism! The series itself is not, in my opinion, quite as good, although I love it. This particular movie was done collaboratively by people who worked on such anime classics as Project A-Ko, Ghost In the Shell (I think), and a few others. (I have to agree with a friend of mine, who described the series as being "more Hanna-Barbera"!) To sum up: I love the series, love the comics even more, but this movie is, to me, the high point of Urusei Yatsura. (Oh yeah, the series constantly makes references to Star Blazer; this movie is no exception!)

Summary: Wonderful movie, terrible DVD...
Review: This is an awesome movie. Five stars, all the way. Unfortunately, this DVD must have been taken from one of the worst film elements in existence. Three stars, at best.
When this disc was first announced, I assumed that CPM would license the newly-restored, anamorphic widescreen video released on the Japanese R2 DVD. What CPM chose to do was clean up the cropped-to-fullscreen video from the original R1 DVD and release that for this edition. Proof? Check out the 2:15 position, close to the edge of the screen. That red dot that appears repeatedly throughout the movie was on the first release, too. Also note the hard subtitles for signs are same font/color as the older disc, while the soft subs have been improved for better visibility.
Just to rub salt into an open wound, the original Japanese trailer on this disc *is* widescreen. Aarrghh!
On the plus side, the ending is complete now, including the Japanese credits and the full version of "Ai wa boomerang." Sweet! I think the subtitle translation was updated, too.
I was hoping for a new dub, but that was never going to happen. Not for a twenty year old anime movie with one U.S. release already. Even if the existing dub sucks. Even if the movie is the GREATEST film ever.
Overall, if you have the first release, don't bother with this one unless you're obsessive and/or a rabid Urusei Yatsura otaku. If you don't have the original, buy it NOW. You'll enjoy it.
