Here's the absolutely hysterical, wonderfully wild, cosmic adventure comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Based on Douglas Adams' worldwide best-selling novel, and starring an outrageous intergalactic cast, this is one ride you don't want to miss. Seconds before Earth is destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace express route, mild-mannered Arthur Dent is whisked into space by his best friend (an alien posing as an out-of-work actor). And so the misadventures begin as he and fellow travelers, including the cool but dim-witted President of the Galaxy, the Earth girl Trillian, and Marvin the paranoid android, search for answers to the mystery of Life, the Universe and Everything. |

| Easter Eggs |
From the DVD's Main Menu simply keep using the 'Improbability Drive' over and over again to randomly view the bonus materials on the DVD. Eventually, however, you will get to see a cartoon that is not part of the regular special features. It is the cartoon Deep Thought is watching on TV during the movie.
The number of times you have to use the Improbability Drive in order to trigger the cartoon varies, but seems to be somewhere between 3 to 10 times. If a feature other than the cartoon shows up, simply hit the 'Menu' key on your remote control to immediately return to the menu and then try again. This will help cut the waiting time down |
