We are very proud of the brilliant pop up menus that our design team created for the Blu-ray releases of two of Charlie Chaplin’s most successful films.
The Kid was first released in 1921 and is the touching story of the friendship between a young orphan and Charlie Chaplin’s popular ‘Little Tramp’. It was the first feature length comedy drama ever made and was written, produced and directed by Chaplin.
The 
Dictator (1940) is a fascinating film that parodies Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. It is Chaplin’s first true ‘talking picture’ as well as his most commercially successful film. More importantly, the only major feature film of its period to bitterly satirize Nazism and Adolf Hitler.
The backdrop to the menus feature a 60 second loop of key scenes from the film.
Our designers used one of their favourite visual techniques, reflection, to give the menu some depth and matched the looping video in the reflection.
The Chapter points feature animated thumbnails, a feature unique to Blu-ray and not available for DVD.
The menus also feature music from the original score.We’ve already had some great reviews for the titles from The Digital Fix and from Blu-ray.com
