At long last, it looks like Finding Nemo is on it’s way to Blu-ray. It’s about time too, as it’s the last Pixar film to be released on the format. No release date or details yet but the trailer embedded above has made its way onto the internets, promising we’ll see some Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich fishies in HD sooner rather than later. The best guess, at the moment, is that the disc will hit around the time of the films big-screen 3D release, next September. Okay, I guess that’s kind of later than I’d like. But, you know, at least we’re not talking about 2013 here! …Continued…
What do you say when one of the best animated films of the last decade makes its way to Blu-ray in a near perfect presentation with a ton of special features? How do you describe a disc of this variety? What words can one possibly use outside of amazing, wonderful, marvelous, spectacular, remarkable, phenomenal, prodigious, breathtaking, extraordinary, unbelievable… All right, there are a lot of synonym’s for incredible. You get where I’m going with this. The Incredibles was incredible in the theatres back in 2004 and now it’s incredible on Blu! …Continued…
This weeks new Blu-ray releases include ‘HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1′ from Warner, ‘LE CERCLE ROUGE’ and ‘WHITE MATERIAL’ from Criterion, ‘THE INCREDIBLES’ from Disney/Pixar, ‘FAREWELL’ from eOne/Seville, ‘MARWENCOL’ from Cinema Guild and many, many more!
Pixar‘s The Incredibles will make its Blu-ray debut on April 12th in a 4-disc combo pack with a DVD and digital copy. I have to say, despite the fact that the studio has released a ton of brilliant animated films since (Wall-E, UP!, Toy Story 3, etc.) I still consider Brad Bird‘s playful superhero fable my favourite. Can’t wait to finally see it in 1080p! …Continued…
Somehow, I always manage to forget how much I love the Toy Story films. Perhaps it’s just a matter of my age or the passage of time between the original films’ release and the current, modern me. As such, I found that when this most recent sequel was released to theatres I was intrigued but didn’t feel compelled to set aside valuable time to experience it in all its cinematic grandeur. A viewing of the brilliant new Blu-ray edition of the film has shown me the error of my ways. …Continued…
ARGH!! It’s another one of those killer, five-million-amazing-new Blu-ray-disc release weeks! Having so many great new titles out all at the same time makes it damn near impossible to choose a best and a second best release of the week. Unlike last week, where I felt the Alien Anthology was clearly the must-own newly released title, I wouldn’t blame you if you grabbed up any one of the discs listed below. They’re all equally amazing! But for the sake of the Top 5, here they are in somewhat arbitrary order… …Continued…
Still catching up on news announcements, here’s a look at all the great new Toy Story Blu-ray stuff coming out in November – a couple of different versions of Toy Story 3 and the full 3-movie, 10-disc Toy Box Collection. …Continued…
It’s hard to believe it’s been fifteen years since the first Toy Story film was released! The quality of computer animation has come a long way since then but the writing, the craftsmanship on display in both the original film and its sequel are without equal. These are brilliant films, presented here in brilliant, near-perfect Blu-ray editions. …Continued…
Here’s a nice new trailer trumpeting the March release of both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on Blu-ray. As awesome as this news is, March is all about the Blu-ray release of Ponyo for me. Until I get my Miyazaki fix, it’s going to be kind of difficult to get excited about anything else! …Continued…
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. …Continued…
