Unboxing [UK]: Welcome To The Space Show - Film (BD/DVD)

For this overview/unboxing, we'll be taking a look at one of UK's current exclusive releases.

Welcome to the Space Show is a family sci-fi adventure film that has never been given a proper release. It's strange how Manga UK managed to license and distribute this film in addition to getting a US dub added to the mix without having a home release in America soil. This has happened before for Manga as they also had exclusive releases like Musashi and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (this one eventually got a redub in America and a release). This is a great film if you can ignore the flaws surrounding the characters and the plot. This UK overview is focused on the Blu-ray and DVD combo pack, which contains only the discs and very few extras. It does have Susan Boyle (finalist for Britain's Got Talent) doing the ending song for this film interesting enough.
