Russell is also in on the cast commentary, which is a livelier affair and leaves a far better taste in the mouth than that awful Lessons Of Tuck viewing option. What then unfolds is the story of the film's ten year development. Scriptwriter James V Hart reveals on his commentary with director Jay Russell that his nine-year-old daughter gave him the book and told him it would make a great movie. She wrote the original book, and the story of how she got into the writing game should interest those of you wondering how you get there. "What does it mean to grow up?" asks Jonathan before pausing to gaze into the camera to tell us, "Yes I really am asking you this seriously." You may laugh, cry or likely vomit at these featurettes, but this DVD will not have you bearing your soul, no matter how much Jackson looks like he's about to cry.Īspiring writers may want to take a look at the featurette A Visit With Natalie Babbitt. Every now and again, Jonathan Jackson will halt the film to talk about issues raised in the movie. Switch on the Lessons Of Tuck option for watching the movie and you turn on an audaciously false set of featurettes. Somehow, though, Disney seems to be blurring fiction with reality due to a cloying feature it's put on the DVD release. It retells a favourite US kids' fiction story about a girl called Winnie, who falls in love with Jesse Tuck - who just happens to be immortal. but without the swordplay, action, and comedy.
