National Lampoon's Animal House [WS] [Double Secret Probation Edition]

One of the most successful comedies of all time, Animal House gets its best DVD release yet with this "Double Secret Probation Edition." The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and Dolby Digital Stereo. English and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a Delta Alumni update (a 20-minute featurette that offers interviews with the characters about where they are now), a making-of documentary that is informative but was included on previous DVD editions of the film, an animated trivia track that supplies information while watching the movie, and a music video by MxPx for the song "Shout." Any big fan of the film will not be ripped off by upgrading to this edition, although the casual fan probably does not need to bother.
