I believe you put the DVD in the player to play the Movie not the cover art, that is just eye candy.. Regardless, can't wait 'till they release this DVD

I think there's a possibility it'll be released sooner than that.. a screener copy has already "leaked" online.. when that happens they usually release much sooner!

I really like the packaging and Im sure the extras wont dissapoint!

The DVD was sent out to academy members for Oscar consideration, not a rental screener.

Starting with ABL, they're done them all that way. However, I don't know if they've reformatted the Toy Story movies or not, as I'm not aware of any fullscreen DVDs of those two. They could have done it for VHS though.

Yeah, I am sure that ad execs and designers use that logic as well. As if nobody is affected by the packaging of something.


I mean, this is why DVD studios experiment with different types of packaging. It may generate some blind sales, and it also may help the DVD to jump off the shelf easier when customers are browsing a wall of DVDs that all blend in with one another.

I don't really see anything bad about the cover... it's about the same as the covers on all the Pixar films. A plain shot featuring the characters. I'm happy with that

calhoun07

I don't think there is anything wrong with it either. But for a collector's edition, it would be nice to have something more eye catching.

Jackskeleton

Exactly. Just because online sites have dvd rips of movies this time of year doesn't mean the dvd is coming anytime sooner as it's just an awards screener.

One of this year's best movies. I definitely going to pre-order this release. Pixar has deliver its share of high quality DVDs with great extras.

Sweetness.

Both Toy Story films have been reformatted for full-frame as well. One of the reasons that the Ultimate Toybox took so long to come out was that Pixar had to go back and re-render a number of shots to include extra information at the top and bottom of the frame. From A Bug's Life onward (including Toy Story 2), they do this extra rendering while the movie is still in production, but for the first Toy Story they had to do it retroactively.

And it's probably a good idea to remember, just because it's re-rendered, doesn't make it "better" or "OK", just "less chopped". My sig says it all.

Nice! Can't wait!
