Editor's Notes

Note

Currently only available as part of the Wes Anderson Archive box set from Criterion, and people keep asking when individual 4K releases are coming. The set runs half price during B&N and Criterion sales, which is when most people cave. Some disc quality issues reported, particularly with Royal Tenenbaums during the cemetery scene. Criterion replaces defective discs but it's been a recurring complaint.
