OVERALL: Draw
2-disc set versions are a no brainer for the fans, but the older releases have a couple of extras ("The Harryhausen Chronicles"-documentary & "This Is Dynamation" -featurette, along with the Trailer). Note, that these extras are also included in some other (older) Harryhausen-releases ("20 Million Miles To Earth", "It Came from Beneath the Sea", "Mysterious Island", and "First Men in the Moon").
Also some of the extras from the new 2-disc set are included in the 2-disc "50th AE" of "20 Million Miles To Earth" and 2-disc set of "It Came from Beneath the Sea".
