Warner Brothers/Cartoon network have wisely split up the supplements for this release, of which there are many, over two discs as follows:

DISC ONE:

First up is a commentary track with Patti Smith (who has nothing to do with the movie?), Todd Hanson (editor at The Onion), Dana Snyder (the voice of Master Shake) and Fred Armisen (who played Lincoln). Oddly enough, Smith dominates the track. She's got a lot to say about the film, critiquing it as it plays out and pointing out strange co-relations such as how her mother's maiden name comes into play and how she lived through the era of concession stand commercials to how Luis Bunuel influenced the opening sequence. As the movie goes on, Dana finds he has more to say, pointing out just how much ground has been covered in the film by the seventeen-minute mark but Smith really does have more to say about the picture than anyone else, though much of it is unrelated to the movie. As far as commentary tracks go, this one plays out like a group of friends sitting around goofing off more than a serious track, which is fine considering the movie at hand. There's a lot of good humor in here, so enjoy the track for that - consider anything that you may learn from it as a bonus. It is amusing to hear Dana talk about how he did the entire film in the nude...

From there, check out the Sizzle Reel (3:46) which is really just a prolonged trailer - that said, it's a damn funny prolonged trailer. Up next is The Thing We Shot Wednesday Night which is a lengthy twenty-six minute making of featurette that gives us a look at everything from production meetings to some of the voice actors at work. We see the animation process in action and get to check out some of the musicians involved in the project doing their thing as well. A little more context could have made this more interesting but as it stands, there's some nifty footage in here even if it isn't presented in the most ideal manner (it feels haphazardly put together).

Jon Schnepp 3D (2:54) is basically a bunch of the 3-D animation footage from the opening of the film presented without credits on top of it. Rounding off the first disc are the Theatrical Trailer (2:30) and the bizarre Cahill Trailer (UnEarth) (1:33) promo spot, an art and music still gallery (16:26) featuring some interesting character designs and sketches, animated menus and chapter stops.

DISC TWO:

The second disc contains, as a bonus, the eighty minute Deleted Movie. Differing in plot only slightly, this alternate cut of the film is made up using animatics, rough animation, stills and shots of the voice actors practicing their lines and it provides quite a few alternate and deleted scenes in the context of how they would have appeared in the film (many of these show up in finished form in the Deleted Scenes section of the disc as well). Some of the highlights in this cut of the film include more bits with the Plutonians and the Mooninites as well as an appearance from Cameo who tries to help the Aqua Teens come up with some alternate music to sooth the Insane-O-Flex. Sadly, Cameo is just too funky to help.

Also found on the second disc is a selection of ten Fake Endings - Dr. Zod, Wonderman, Blood Mnt, Sandwich, Sandwich Jewels, Zombie Shake, Zombie Meat, Zombie Fry, Determinator and Earth. Most of these are under a minute in length and none of them make any sense, but hey, they're fake, what do you want? Definitely amusing, these are worth the time to watch.

From there, we're treated to a selection of Deleted Scenes starting with the twenty-two minute version of the Star-Studded Xmas Spectacular wherein Shake stands in front of a screen (while Meatwad works the projector) to talk about his film project. Also included is a deleted scene featuring Cameo, an alternate version of the Answering Machine Fight, and extended versino of the Plutonian's Dorm Room scene, an extended version of the Meatwad Concert, and very slightly extended version of the Pushing Insanoflex Box scene, an extended version of the Mooninites & Plutonians On Coaster scene (also just slightly extended), and last but not least, an extended version of the Shake "Who Created Us? I Did..." scene. Much of this material can be seen in rough form in the Deleted Movie feature but seeing them here in finished form is a nice touch.

Up next is a Music Videos section which starts off with the fantastic Nashville Pussy / Master Shake Animated Music Video where, in the middle of the set, Meatwad comes on stage and completely shreds with his guitar. From there, check out Behind The Scenes segments for the songs on the soundtrack that appear courtesy of 9 Lb Hammer, Mastodon, the Lobby Singers, and Nashville Pussy. An amusing segment where we see Cameo working on their song is also included here.

Rounding out the extra features on the second disc is an amusing interview which Mr. Show star Bob Odenkirk interviews Dana Snyder, the Pete Promos, the amusing Dana Man-On-The-Street Promos, the Overhead Projector Presentation Promos which were shown on Adult Swim before the film was officially announced, and of course, the Legal Page which is exactly what is sounds like.

Fans of the series will definitely enjoy Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie For Theaters as it's simply more of the bizarre humor that the show has become known for stretched out to feature length. That said, the movie won't likely win the show many new fans making this somewhat of a niche product. Fans can definitely consider this package highly recommended as it looks and sounds good and comes with a whole smattering of tasty extra features, the unsure will want to rent it first.
