Product Description
It might have been fate that MTV was born at the same time people began to notice the rare talent and artistic ingenuity of Michael Jackson. It proved to be a perfect match between the new television network and the young rising icon. Early on, Michael saw MTV’s potential as a force of its own and understood that it offered him the chance to pioneer a whole new visual style through which people could see music, not just listen to it. For the first time, artists had the opportunity to truly shape a vision of a story around their songs. For Michael, this meant treating the song as a “script” and creating a stand-alone film to tell that story. In fact, Michael referred to each of these productions as a "short film" and not a “music video.”
No other artist contributed more to the development of this art form than Michael Jackson. Just look at the impact of Thriller, which was recently named the first (and only) music video ever to be inducted by the Library of Congress into the National Film Registry - an elite collection of only a few hundred films. In addition to this, Michael’s vision had immense cultural impact . The enormous popularity of his short films proved to MTV Executives that they were wrong about what their audience wanted; it was Michael who broke through that initial barrier and created opportunity for future African American artists.
Here, for the first time, is the complete collection of all 35 of the short films produced by Michael during his career as a solo artist - 10 of which are appearing on DVD for the first time. All of the short films have been meticulously restored and remastered for the ultimate audio and visual experience and a bonus DVD includes 7 additional videos including “Enjoy Yourself” with The Jacksons, “Say Say Say” with Paul McCartney and the Previously Unreleased video for “One More Chance”. This is a true representation of Michael Jackson’s Vision.

Like any true legend, even in death, MJ continues to be a force of creativity and inspiration to millions. And now, finally, his revolutionary short films are available for all to own and enjoy on DVD, and I for one, am thrilled! I've been looking forward to this DVD box set ever since Michael died. It doesn't take a genius or clairvoyant to know we're in store for many wonderful projects to come, headlining the King of Pop. Some call this opportunistic; bleeding MJ fans for money. But I don't see it that way -- the estates and legacies of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, etc. continue to live on with various merchandising deals, and so too, will MJ. He has MORE than earned his place in history, and I for one, look forward to all that's yet to come. In...

I don't know what qualifies as remastering the videos (as the sticker on the front of this proclaims), but I was disappointed. Some of the videos look better than others, but I fail to believe that they went back to source materials to remaster many if any of these. I have the previous DVDs and don't really see much of an improvement. Also, all of the clips from Moonwalker look like they just ripped them from a VHS copy. In fact, at the end of Speed Demon, there's even some good old fashioned tape stretch distortion at the bottom of the screen. A really half-assed effort. To be fair though, the audio sounds better than before. Also, aside from the missing full-length Ghosts mini-movie that others have already advised of, this collection is far from...

That June 25, 2009 hit everyone like a massive sledgehammer pounding the nails of life away. He tried to make his way back into the music industry, after years of heartbreaking moments of his life, from being accused of being a child molestor (which he was later acquitted from in 2005,) to battling bouts of racism with his label, after the way he felt not being promoted as a artist from the lackluster 2001 Invincible. He had lost his ways, and it wasn't until his death hit, that people were reminded of why Michael Jackson was definitive not just as a artist, but through the ways he pushed the envelope in his music videos. But, there hasn't been a definitive reflection of Michael Jackson's music videos, but this is a great start. Michael Jackson's Vision, the first project Michael Jackson's estate released after...
