Tom Hanks (r.) and Robert Loggia display some heart and soul in Big.
Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks (Larry Crowne) received his first Best Actor Academy Award Nomination for his turn as a 12-year-old man-child in the beloved comedy-drama fantasy Big, which gets the royal treatment in Big: 25th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD Combo.
The 1986 film, directed by Penny Marshall (A League of their Own), tells the tale of 12-year-old Josh Baskin, who declares he’s tired of being a kid. Wishing he was big, Josh wakes up the next day to discover that he’s an adult! Running away from home to New York City, Josh must hold down a job, please a new boss (Robert Loggia, Scarface), convince his best friend that he’s still himself, and figure out how to proceed with the a beautiful lady exec (Elizabeth Perkins, TV’s Weeds) who falls for him.
The 25th Anniversary edition offers virtually nothing in terms of bonus features that didn’t appear on the 2009 Blu-ray save for sound chip packaging that plays “Heart & Soul” when activated. Are you kidding? Nothing new except a sound chip?!
Anyway, here’s a list of the supplements (which, again, were on the earlier Blu-ray release):
- Big Extended Cut (130 minutes versus the theatrical’s 105-minute cut)
- Big Brainstorming Audio Documentary by Writers/Co-Producers Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg
- Deleted Scenes, Including 5 with Intros by Director Penny Marshall
- Big Beginnings
- Chemistry of a Classic
- The Work of Play
- Hollywood Backstories: Big
- Carnival Party Newswrap
