Eighteen shorts, all in HD (of course), to be released on the 29th of this month:

£9.18 with free delivery is an absolute steal for those in the UK.

Had this on pre-order from Amazon UK but didn't notice the cheaper price on Network, thanks! Looks like a good chronological selection highlighting the diverse work of the studio. I suspect like the Animal Farm blu-ray it will be Region B locked though (just a warning to anyone here that doesn't have a region-free player).

Too bad this doesn't seem to be getting a U.S. release, though. As for importing it, it seems to be region-coded (B).

I'm surprised stuff like "Fantastic Planet" and "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" haven't seen a US Blu-ray release yet despite being already out in the UK for a while now. Both films I've mentioned even come with interesting bonus shorts from the featured director.

Just stumbled upon this interesting and informative blog set up to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Halas and Batchelor Cartoon Films:
