Editorial Review:

They're in the book. And on this disc. From the director of Watchmen and 300 come two tales from the celebrated graphic novel that do not appear in the extraordinary Watchmen theatrical release. Tales of the Black Freighter (featuring the voice of 300's Gerard Butler) brings to strikingly animated life the novels richly layered story-within-a-story, a daring pirate saga whose turbulent events may mirror those in the Watchmen's world. Stars from the Watchmen movie team in the amazing live-action/CGI Under the Hood, based on Nite Owl's powerful first-hand account of how the hooded adventurers came into existence. Two fan-essential stories. One place to watch the excitement. Watching the Watchmen begins here.

"Under the Hood" was also pretty good. For those of you who have only seen the movie, you will enjoy it because it tells the story of the original super heroes "The Minute Men."
So again, watchmen fan,... more info

Good Watchmen bonus:

This is an original animated feature which takes all the material from the actual Watchmen comic, and comprises it into a single short-movie. This OVA('original video animation" to you non-otaku)is one of several animated video tie-ins to theatrically released live-action flicks like The Dark Knight, Van Helsing, and Chronicles Of Riddick. The parts of it that pertain to the film were left out for time, but mainly because they had no direct relevance to the main story. If you were to get the Watchmen Motion... more info

From novel to comic to screen:

Being a fan of Alan Moore and Watchmen, buying the movie blue-ray, "Tales of the Black Freighter" cannot miss in my videoteque.
As transposition from a comic inside the novel to animated movie, loses much pathos and meaning, thru, who wich had red the novel, has clear in mind what's the story reflects.
The narrating voice of Gerard Butler is pretty amazing but I don't think it gives the right athmosphere to the context.
After all is a movie to be watched having in mind the graphic novel so... more info
