Soundtrack and DVD Releases
The DVDs for Around the World... include four hours of supplemental material, in addition to the (apparently restored) three-hour wide-screen color film. Also included on one of the disks is a documentary film, about 50 minutes long, about Mike Todd.
The soundtrack to the film was released in vinyl and audio tape for home use. There have been two CD versions were released as well. A digital copy of the basic album on MCA in the 1980s and an expanded version with extra tracks on the Hit Parade Records label in Canada in 2007. There was also a model kit of the balloon, a board game, and Dell comic book adaptation sold as merchandise. A Cantinflas puppet was also released as merchandise and, while unrelated directly to the movie, the puppet was dressed in a similar outfit so it could be considered as another movie tie-in.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
