Power Rangers Samurai Christmas Together, Friends Forever DVD Review
October 5, 2012Products, ReviewsComments Off
Power Rangers: Samurai Christmas Special
I got my review copy of the upcoming Power Rangers Samurai Christmas Together, Friends Forever DVD in the mail today! These DVDs are produced by Lionsgate and will release on October 16th. You can pre-order your copy today at Amazon.
Unboxing the Power Rangers Samurai Christmas Together, Friends Forever DVD
The front cover of the Christmas DVD box is an improvement from the Monster Bash DVD, but not as spectacular as the previous Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Super Samurai DVDs. The bright color usage of the box is a nice touch, but doesn’t scream Christmas. The primary graphic featuring the Rangers in front of a Christmas Tree makes up for the theme. The back cover looks great with the usage of promotional photos for the three episodes. This DVD comes with a glossy O-card packaging, which resembles the concept used in the Samurai and Super Samurai DVDs. The artwork used on the box covers is also rendered on the DVDs. No printed material or advertisement was included with the DVD. Click on the images below to view their full size.
Power Rangers Samurai Christmas Together Friends Forever DVD consists of the Power Rangers Samurai
Christmas Together, Friends Forever
episode and two Power Rangers Holiday specials: I’m Dreaming of a White
Ranger (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and A Season To Remember (Power
Rangers Zeo). The DVD is 63 minutes long.
DVD Menus
The primary graphic in the DVD Main Menu is the same one used on the DVD
Box. Just like the DVD Box Cover, the DVD Menu is not as great as the
previous Lionsgate DVDs. The menu continues the tradition with the Power
Rangers Samurai instrumental music. I preferred the look of the
secondary menus over the primary ones. The secondary menus utilizes
images from the Christmas Together episodes. No music is played on the
secondary menus. As mentioned in the past Lionsgate reviews, the DVD
menus look solid with artwork and the appropriate font usage, in
addition to the Power Rangers Samurai instrumental music playing in the
background. The chosen images for the Samurai and Mighty Morphin
episodes are great, but the Zeo ones feels off with the usage of the Zeo
villains. I would’ve preferred another shot of the Rangers. I have
uploaded a few of the menu screenshots to Samurai Cast.
Episodes
Christmas Together, Friends Forever
Power Rangers Samurai “Christmas Together, Friends Forever” is the
Full Screen (4:3) rather than the Widescreen version that we’ve seen on
television and Netflix. This is the same format that was used on the
Monster Bash DVD. The format makes sense to resemble the same format
used in the two Power Rangers specials. Despite the full screen
resolution, the video and audio quality looks great. I would’ve
preferred the widescreen format. The episode ends with the full screen
credits (rather than the split screen credits), which can also be seen
on NickToons and Netflix versions. For more information on Power
Rangers: Samurai “Christmas Together, Friends Forever”, check out the
Episode Guide on Samurai Cast.
Power Rangers Holiday Specials
I’m Dreaming of a White Ranger (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and A
Season To Remember (Power Rangers Zeo). The quality is pretty close to
the great quality from the
Shout! Factory DVD Box Set.
Both of the episodes had the Saban Brands logo animation (seen after
every Power Rangers Samurai episodes) after the end credits. Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 “I’m Dreaming of a White Ranger” is the
standard 21 minute version (and not the 29 minute VHS version based on
SirStack’s
Episode Comparison).
I loved both of these holiday specials. One interesting addition was
the Tanya’s “Stick Together” Music Video. This music video played after
the Zeo holiday special.
The Power Rangers holiday episodes were the primary bonus features on
this DVD. The DVD also includes the Power Rangers Swarm video, Train
like a Ranger video, and the Mega Bloks Holiday toymation.
Mega Bloks Holiday Toymation
The Mega Bloks Holiday Toymation was an adorable animation sequence
created by Mega Bloks. I enjoyed this video over the other bonus
features.
Train like a Ranger
The DVD comes with 5 ”Train like a Ranger” videos. You can watch these videos on the Official Youtube Channel.
Trailers
The DVD starts with the following trailers: Power Rangers Samurai
DVDs, Wolverine and X-Men Blu-ray, Next Avengers DVD, and Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles DVD. These trailers are also included in the Special
Features section of both Power Rangers Super Samurai DVDs. The following
video is the Power Rangers: Samurai DVD Promo.
