“Just finished watching the original Benji now on Blu-Ray. The film is wonderful as always and the quality of the high definition is fantastic. Being able to watch the tv specials was a wonderful treat. I ordered two to give one as a gift and now I feel I must order more. Our daughter is an elementary school teacher and two of our grand daughters are in school, other two will be in a couple of years. So I am going to donate copies to the respective schools. The Benji films are a must to see and a quality meaningful experience. I am 73 years old and enjoy them more each viewing and my respect for you and Mr.Inn go beyond words. Thank you for all your efforts in making quality family films. I will have to subscribe to Netfilx in order to watch the new Benji movie, can’t wait.” – Dan
Thank you so much Dan. Don’t forget to listen to the Commentary. Son Brandon and I talk about the making of the film as you watch it. – Joe
The fully restored HD Widescreen Blu-Ray and DVD of the original Benji is now available at Walmart, and will be available at Best Buy and Target in March.
