As far as I know, the boxed set will include commentary by John Fricke, and intro's to the movies by Mickey himself; now just for Mickey's intros, it will be worth the price of admission

I'm not really a fan of Mickey Rooney but it will be interesting to see what he says. I won't buy it though..I can't really stand John Fricke's boring commentaries.
Both Mickey and John I can stand up to a point..I think Judy felt that way over Mickey after a while. You can sense it in her acting it's like..both of them became too over the top.
The interesting thing about Mickey was he was nominated for an Oscar for Babes..correct me if I'm wrong, and Judy was nominated in the same year as a juvenile for Oz. So how was it Judy couldn't be placed in the 'Best Actress' category? Mind you, she was up against Vivien Leigh for GWTW she may never have won but still.. goes to show the chauvinist attitude the studios had in those days. Judy easily bet Mickey's perfomance in Babes.

Rainbowgirl it's going for really cheap at amazon.com - I got mine for $25 I'm also getting a musical boxset with Easter Parade in it -a bargain..it works out so much cheaper than just buying one disc. And it's got By Myself documentary on it! Can't wait to see it!!
Also the mickey/judy boxset comes with a songbook and dvd of exclusive Judy clips.

Well I just my order today from amazon - I'm impressed with the Mickey Judy set it's packaged in a really sturdy shiny silver box and is quite attractive.
I'm sure the dvds will be wonderful. It also comes with a booklet and portfolio (postcards) of stills from the movies - I didn't know that was going to be in it (bonus!) which is a nice thing for people who like to collect that sort of stuff.
The song book - I was a bit disappointed with it as I thought it was going to be an actual book of songs - mostly it is blurb and promo ads for the movies and gushy liner notes by John Fricke. The songbook dvd is inside the book - a nice selection of Judy clips although...I would have picked different ones but it DOES have great lady does an interview and thousands cheer which is nice because then you don't have to buy those separate DVDs. It should have included the ones from Words and Music and Till the Clouds Roll by as well.
Anyway I'm not complaining it is really nice to have all this bonus material and a special songbook disc.

Did you watch the Private screening with Mickey Rooney moocow? I must confess it was a bit boring for me I don't really like Mickey Rooney...but one thing that I didn't know was that Mickey thought someone was trying to destroy his career??? He seems like quite a character though and getting on in years (and also going a bit senile methinks) I could see the interviewer going ?? why is he talking about this..it made him quite uncomfortable.
I liked the songbook.

I'm sure it has captions to the songs, I have to check it again..I have some deaf friends who always want to know exactly the words Judy was singing when they couldn't see her lips.
