Michael Jackson dangerous the short films featured on dvd
There are many achievements in Michael Jackson's life that he will be remembered by. One of them are his Short Films.


This unique and hard to find DVD shows all Jackson's short films recorded during the Dangerous tour and video clip productions.There are 2 versions of Heal the World on it, plus it shows us a camera mans point of view, of at the scene video capture, during the filming of Black or White music video. 

The dvd has been recorded in a crystal clear 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound, with available English Subtitles, Michael Jacksons Discography, a very well designed Instant Chapter Access that lets you skip and previews your favorite parts, and last but not least the interactive menus.





We all know Michael Jackson as a pioneer of the music industry and his Short Films where the first ever musice videos directed and produced in a movie-like way. Michael First revolutionized the way musicians perform like actors in "Thriller", then came his album "Bad" so it was only logical for him to come up with another amazing album called "Dangerous".

Dangerous or Innovative?

The way Michael Jackson produced his films, can only be understood when we observe him behind the scenes. In this DVD there are many uncut scenes, extended versions, ideas that were scrapped and new technology at the time. Michael Jackson recalls how he told Janet she reminded him of a black panther, she loved the idea but we clearly see how only he could fit those shoes, the morphing effect in "Black and White" was never seen like this before. Furthermore, in "do you remember the time", Michael turns into sand.

Michael Jackson, "Gone Too Soon" himself...

The Dangerous DVD film includes "Who Is It," and "Gone Too soon" 's rendition never before released in America.
His films during 1993, when Michael Jackson the greatest entertainer issued a collection of music videos: Dangerous: The Short Films, are a part of our pop culture and music history. It was first released on Video (vhs) regrouping his clips from, obviously, the Dangerous music album, and then the double CD but exclusively for the asian market.

is Michael Jackson's GHOSTS a short film?

Is Michael Jackson's GHOSTS a short film?

Yes. In a short answer.
Some argue that: Michael Jackson's Ghosts is the short film that made world premier, that should be honored and mentioned among his best work also. 1 year after its production, it was released, in 1997 but filmed in 1996, and under Stephan Kings supervision and collaboration, never became a big hit. True fans blieve that this is on a different subject but has not much to do, or adds nothing much to his influence on the music scene movie making. Don't get me wrong, it is an ok film, but nothing comparable to what Michael Jackson has done on his tours, with his moonwalk or his short films that shook the world.

He revolutionized the way video clips were filmed and thought of. It opened a new era of much more then people singing and dancing being filmed. Singles and promotion of an album was conceived by Michael Jackson's genius. The Thriller album is and was the most popular music video of all time and also the biggest selling one.
