The Incredibles

DVDAnswers has reported the DVD release for April of 2005

Here is the link of the article plus the cover shot. I loved the movie but I'm not impressed with the DVD cover. Hopefully Pixar/Disney will use the Theatrical poster.

The packaging doesn't really bother me. It's not that bad. And as long as the DVD has the movie on it with great quality and sound, I could care less.

I kinda like the cover. It all revolves around dad But hell..they could have a plain red cover ("It couldn't be any more RED") and I'd still buy it.

I'm really really REALLY looking forward to this set.

I wonder if this one will include DTS? If not, I guess I'm going to have to look overseas.

Pixar movies have never been released with a DTS track (at least in R1). I've always thought their DD soundtracks were fine and never missed having a DTS track. But that's just me

I know...

Since this is more of an action film, I'm hoping they'll make an exception.


If not, then Japan or Korean should come through with one.

Well, if they made an exception, I sure wouldn't complain.

Looking forward to this release. And DTS would be icing on the cake. Even if R1 doesn't have it there's hope for other regions. Just hope the DTS track is in English!

Looks good. I'm undecided as to whether seperate Widescreen and Fullscreen versions is a good thing, versus including both in one package like other Pixar movies.

Having separate WS and FS versions is an excellent thing, because it means there's no wasted disc space for the majority of us who want only one format and not both. I've never cared for the WS & FS trend--if they're on the same disc, it kills picture quality; if it's a dual-sided disc, it's more easily damaged and it looks cheap; if they put them on separate discs in the same package, that's a lot less space for extras; and, finally, if they package them together, then the studio has no way of knowing what the consumer's preference is between the two formats.

Yes, that's an odd thing with separate releases. Maybe it was a mistake by the marketing department?

Hope they change the cover art, but looking forward to this release.

Does Pixar re-format every movie they do for FS or was that just for Bug's Life?

It's supposed to be out for Easter, and The Digital Bits a few weeks ago have posted a rumored date of March 15.

I think Bug's Life was the only one, but its ratio was also 2.35 (all the others have been 1.85), but since The Incredibles is 2.35 as well, it may be reformatted.

I think part of the reason for the split was mentioned that rental places were splitting the copies and renting out the full screen & widescreen discs separately and making more money off Disney/Pixar with Little Nemo. At least that might be part of it.

I thought they did Toy Story 2 like A Bug's Life as well.

And yet the cover just may be a card board slip case that goes over the keep case. Hopefully the keep case will be closer to the theatrical poster art.

But if anybody wants to do a custom cover based on the awesome graphics from the credits roll, keep us informed!

The artwork on the Finding Nemo keepcase is exactly the same as its slipcover, unfortunately.
