Release News

Toy Story 1 and 2 Coming to Blu-ray in March

This is great news! Disney Pixar will be releasing Blu-ray editions of Toy Story 1 and 2 in concert with the theatrical release of Toy Story 3! These films should look spectacular in high-def, as they’ll be transfered to disc directly from the digital files. This is the one case where the age of the film won’t directly effect the quality of the disc.

As thrilling as this news is, I can’t help but wonder if we shouldn’t hold off on purchasing these two films on Blu-ray until part 3 makes its way to home video. Disney will no doubt be planning some sort of mega-uber-awesome boxed set with all three films and a heap of additional special features (remember the popular Toy Box edition of the DVDs?) In addition, these new stand-alone Blu-ray discs don’t show any signs of the recent 3-D upgrade given the films. With the Blu-ray 3-D spec finally ratified and Toy Story 3 hitting the big screen in 3-D, the Blu-ray release of that film will no doubt be one of the first to highlight the format in the home video arena. And it would make sense then to release parts 1 and 2 in 3-D at the same time, right? RIGHT?

Yeesh…I guess only time will tell. What do you think? Will you rush out and grab these discs when they hit store shelves? Will you hold off in hopes of a massive box set that includes Toy Story 3? Do you even care about seeing these films in 3-D?
