German 4k Remaster, why hasn't this been released in the US yet?


This looks incredible and I would buy this in a second digitally or on disc. Why hasn't it been available worldwide yet?

As I understand it, it is a German-American co-production. There may be some kind of rights agreement in place which forbids the German version from being sold in markets outside of the agreement.

You’d have to think a remaster of the US theatrical version would happen though. It’s one of the most iconic kids movies of the 80s that still has a following today.

I have watched today the remastered version (2012) here in Germany. You can really observe a difference in the quality of the images.

I would still hope the version of the movie we saw in the US could get a remaster and release here. It’s not like it’s a forgotten movie, it’s one of the most iconic kids movies of the 80s.

Yes, it is a nice movie. My children, however, were not interested at all and let me alone watching it

you can find it sailing the high seas ;)

It's not that impressive looking transfer. Very soft looking.
