Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the computer animated feature 'Bolt' to Blu-ray on March 22nd, two days before the DVD release. This is the first new release Blu-ray title to be released before the DVD, and will surely be a test for future product release schedules.
No technical specs have been announced at this time, though you can expect to see 1.78:1 1080p AVC accompanied by lossless audio.
Extras for this release include:
- Super Rhino – BOLT breakout star Rhino, the hyperactive hamster, gets a chance to headline his very own adventure!
- Music & More
- “I Thought I Lost You” Music Video featuring the movie's stars, Miley Cyrus and John Travolta.
- In Session with John Travolta and Miley Cyrus - A behind-the-scenes look at recording Bolt's signature song “I Thought I Lost You.”
Backstage Disney
- A New Breed of Directors: A Filmmakers' Journey - First-time directors Chris Williams and Byron Howard take fans along as they traverse the road from concept to completion.

Nice that it is coming out sunday so i can be there when stores open if they have exclusive features not offered elsewhere.
Not a big deal that its only 2 days before the DVD. Maybe they should have tried for more than just 2 days, like a week or something. |

I don't think 2 days is that big a deal to test the success of BD, but it is good something is finally being released on Blu before DVD. Maybe when something comes out on Blu 2 weeks or 2 months before DVD that will be impressive. |

2 days before DVD = fighting in retail stores over actual release dates. I'm sue most stores will be putting this out on the same day as the DVD just to play it safe. Unless Disney really, REALLY hypes it up that this comes out on Blu beforehand in TV ads etc. |

Not the film I'm looking forward to. BUT I am pleased to see that it's being released before DVD. It's a step in the right direction that's gonna bring BD one step closer to Home Video Supremacy.  |

This is a good trend!
Disney is really pushing Blu-ray. They are the premium studio as far as releases go. I can always trust them to have good quality.
If other studios start doing this, it will hasten the demise of DVD. |

I thought Be Kind Rewind was released a week earlier on Blu-ray than DVD. I know it was announced at one point to be that way. |

Didn't see this in the theaters. Honestly, been a while since Disney did something decent that wasn't
done by a different studio like Pixar or Studio Ghibli. Likely a rental. |

I really hope DVD dies soon. I never bought DVD's, they always sucked on quality. I have been willing to buy a couple of blu-rays because the sound and quality are much reasonable. |
