Disc 2:

• Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous: Making Gremlins (1080p; 1.78:1; 29:15): This new retrospective features new interviews with director Joe Dante, star Zach Galligan, writer Chris Columbus, executive producers Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall and producer Michael Finnell. Columbus describes the inspirations behind his first draft, which Spielberg bought and then advised on rewrites. Spielberg chose Dante to direct, based on Piranha and The Howling. Galligan describes his audition and the process of filming. Dante describes, among other things, his battle with the studio over the famous Phoebe Cates monologue about why she hates Christmas, which the studio wanted to cut. He also discusses working with composer Jerry Goldsmith, whom he calls one of the few authentic geniuses he's ever known.
• From Gizmo to Gremlins: Creating the Creatures (1080p; 1.78:1; 17:48): The same group, plus creature creator Chris Walas and Howie Mandel, the voice of Gizmo, describe the laborious development of Gizmo and the Gremlins and the painstaking work required to bring them to life in the pre-digital age. The highlight is listening to Mandel talk in Gizmo's voice, especially when he announces his availability for Gremlins 3.
• Hangin' with Hoyt on the Set of Gremlins (1080p; 1.33:1; 4:18): A collection of behind-the-scenes film clips from Hoyt Axton's downtime during the filming of Gremlins.
• Digital Comics (1080p; 1.78:1)

• Gremlins: The Gift of the Mogwai (7:01): This animated comic version of Gremlins includes character voices and narration. It takes the story from Rand Peltzer's purchase of Gizmo up through the Mogwai's first night in the Peltzer household.

• The Last Gremlin (6:40): This comic picks up the story as Billy, Kate and Gizmo chase "Stripe" into the department store. In this rendition, the battle between Billy and Stripe is considerably toned down. Instead, it becomes a race to the greenhouse fountain, where Stripes attempts to multiply again. As in the movie, Gizmo saves the day. (Note, however, that in the "Cute. Clever" featurette, Galligan says that the scene was originally shot differently and does a convincing impression of Dante explaining why it was changed to its current form.)

Gremlins is a wildly original roller coaster ride of hilarious mischief. One minute your hair will stand on end, the next you'll hold your sides with laughter at the havoc these supposedly gentle furballs create when the rules are broken. One of the most fondly remembered box office hits of recent times, with sly special effects that dazzle and enchant, Gremlins is "what superior popular movie making is all about."
