At any rate, all of the above is unofficial until there is an announcement from the studio.
I think I love these movies too much to hold out for 3D versions (though I would gladly double dip for them since I am planning to take the 3D plunge next year).
Have yet to see Toy Story 2, but of course Toy Story was fantastic. I thought that they would be coming out with Toy Story 3, oh well the sooner the better.
wasn't planning on getting Up&MI but they basically paid US to own them. they might do the same again for these 2 titles... but i kinda' hope they don't.
cause eventually all the Pixar movies will be re-released, double/triple dipped in 3-D format... so i'm waiting for THAT =P.
meanwhile Finding Nemo & Incredibles are the last 2 Pixars i think...
I'm going to wait till there's a trilogy with all three films. I have them both on DVD and would prefer waiting till all of them come in a Collector's Edition Trilogy Box Set. Could hold them off until Fall '10.
I've seen them enough so I'll pass but it's good news to see Disney releasing some classic CG films. Now where's The Incredibles as that would be a Day one buy for me!!
Is the "Buzz Takes Manhatten" feature on Toy Story 1 a play on Friday the 13th Part 8 Jason Takes Manhatten? Probably not but thats what came to mind when reading it.
Both of these will be Day One purchases for me also. I wonder if they may include 3-D, not that I care much about 3-D. In any case, I hope Nemo and Incredibles follow soon.
All the previous Blu-ray releases of catalog Pixar titles have carried over all the bonus material from the DVDs. This list looks like a list of new, BD-exlusive bonuses, not the complete list of features.
2 Great back in the day films!! These 2 titles are 110% back in the day, I watched these 2 titles tons of times throughout my childhood and truly enjoyed both a real lot! 2 day 1 pick ups for sure!
Heck Yea! Does anyone have a pic of the images displayed in the store? And I bet we'll see a Steelbook for these two!! Can't wait for Nemo & Incredibles!!
Normally my response to the calls for Nemo and Incredibles would be that, with Pixar's limited catalog, there is no way they are going to finish them off so quickly, wanting to do only a couple of major film or series releases per year, but with the development of 3D, I think that the double dip factor might work in our favor for once. Since they know they will be able to do a 3D release of the entire Pixar catalog spread out over as much or as little time as they want, why not give the remaining films a BD release this year? I am personally not interested in 3D for obvious reasons, but if the development of the standard gets me into a position to have the complete Pixar catalog on BD sooner, I will be extremely happy.
For all waiting for the 3D versions I say this, until the 3D TV available and popular I don't think we will be seeing the Pixar 3D lineup anytime soon.
Why is The Incredibles the last Pixar Blu-ray release? I love them all but The Incredibles would blow people away in 1080P. By the way, if you haven't seen Toy Story 2, you are in for a treat. One of the best sequels ever, no wonder they didn't release it direct to video.
Definatley going to wait on these. Toy Story is a great movie and my favorite from Pixar, but I bet a 3 pack/box set gets released once Toy Story 3 is out of theaters.
"For all waiting for the 3D versions I say this, until the 3D TV available and popular I don't think we will be seeing the Pixar 3D lineup anytime soon."
I don't know. As much as I want to have these movies I was hoping for Finding Nemo or The Incredibles in the spring and a Toy Story 3 movie pack in the fall. Still I can't wait to see these movies in high def
This will be awesome! Both films are so great! I just hope there will be a ton of options when buying the BLU....I don't want digital copies, or a DVD, JUST BLU! :-)
First Day Purchase for me!!! I think (or better said, hope) we have to wait for Finding and the Incredibles for so long because they want to put it full of extras, and that does take its time.
As with many I'll buy both of these and (again, with many others) really hope Finding Nemo and, the best film Pixar has made, The Incredibles, will finally come to BD soon now (anyone who saw The Incredibles shown on NBC in HD lately knows how good it can really look -- it was awesome and worth fast forwarding through the commercials to keep on my TiVO).
3D is ho hum for me -- I don't really care if it ever comes (it just gives me a headache in theaters and blurs the image -- I want to see things clearly and 3D ain't it for this old guy with glasses). My hunch is it's a fad that will vanish again like it did in the 50's.
I remember loving Toy Story so much i bought the SNES game and played it to death, i even had to cheat to skip hard level. I then remembering seeing the 2nd one in theaters with my Dad and Sis and my dad bought me Toy Story 2 game for my playstation, and i remember playing that game for months, it was so perfect. I cant wait to add the Blu-rays to my collection of Toy Story stuff.
I think I'll wait for the inevitable Ultimate Trilogy Collector's Director's Cut Unrated Extended I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Edition Box Set which is sure to follow the theatrical release of Toy Story 3.
It'll be a painful wait, but one I'll (hopefully) manage.
If Disney offers some sort of mail-in rebate that requires a UPC code from the original DVD set, I am not sure how this will work, especially for those that have the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 two-pack which was both movies in one package. Seems like the Blu-ray releases will be separate for each film, so if there is an upgrade mail-in rebate for each film, just not sure how it will work. Only one UPC code on the DVD two-pack. Maybe they will just do printable coupons like they did for Up. Looking forward to these more so than any other Pixar release.
Not a bad choice to unvault Song of the South, but I would personally prefer it if they unvaulted The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I've been waiting a long time for this movie to get a release on Blu-Ray and still, no announcement of that one.
Still, I would personally prefer a Blu-Ray release for Finding Nemo real soon and prefer waiting for the Toy Story films to come in a trilogy.
