Don't forget the T2 re-release we have all been waiting for as well! Agree on the sentiment that this was a good week for release announcements.

Didn't realize that these were all coming out at the same time. Expensive but very gratifying month.

What about Star Trek? expensive is right...

Definitely in for Monster's Inc, hopefully there'll be some decent prices at release.

Down for both of these. I really like A Bug's Life but Monsters Inc. is my favourite Pixar film, so I'm pretty happy about that!

Yes, with Season One of Star Trek: The Original Series hitting Blu-Ray on April 28th, The Original Motion Picture Collection hitting Blu-Ray on May 12th, along with these two Pixar films and several other titles, my wallet is going to be much lighter!

It's about time the studios started giving us real content instead of the filler releases we've had for the last couple of months.

Sorry, but at those prices for catalogue titles it will be a while before I indulge no matter how much I like A Bug's Life (never was much of a fan of Monsters Inc anyway).

Amazon has them up for pre-order for $28.49 and $27.99.
I'll probably wait until a 19.99 sale.

Me also. Never bought many DVD titles at $20 levels but I would both of these (mostly because I sold the DVDs for enough to cut the cost). Not at the nearly ~$30 price point though (think I paid $10-$15 for each on DVD).

I know Cars and Ratatouille have both been ~$20 since release. I seem to recall WALL-E being $20 briefly also (though mostly closer to $25). Anyone recall whether or not WALL-E has been offered at $20? If so, I'll keep my eye out for both of these to at least drop to that price point before buying.

From a different perspective, you are paying $19.99 for these, in addition to an $8 movie ticket. So if you planned on seeing Up! anyway, it's not that bad a deal, IMO.

PIXAR & Disney are THE reason I picked up a PS3 last fall.

It has, including this week at Best Buy and Amazon. :)

Good point. Do the free tickets always work, or do you have to wait until they're no longer considering it a "special engagement" / new release?

From my experience, they usually only work the first few weeks of the movie's release before they expire.

Great news! I'm buying both titles.

Two More Pixar Films Coming the May

Walt Disney Studios Walt Disney Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the two Pixar films 'A Bug's Life' and 'Monster's Inc' to Blu-ray on May 19th. Both titles will be two-discs set, featuring a digital copy of the film on a separate DVD.

Extras for these two films will include all the features on the previous DVD releases, including the following Blu-ray exclusive extras:

* A Bug's Life Introduction by John Lasseter
* Roundtable with John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Kevin Rehr and Darla Anderson
* Storyboard animations
* BD-Live
o Movie Chat
o Movie Mail

Monster's Inc
* Roundtable with Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich, Darla Anderson, and Darla Anderson
* Interactive Game
* BD-Live
o Movie Chat
o Movie Mail
o Disneyland Tokyo attraction

I'm in for both! Bug's Life is my favorite Pixar movie!

Fry's Electronic always has these movies for around $19.99 the Following Friday after they are released. Just wait about 10 days and you can pick it up for about $20. That is what I did with Madagascar 2 and it paid off.

you realize you can just pre-order now, and you'll get the benefit of the lowest price if Amazon lowers it, right? if BB or somewhere else has it cheaper, just cancel and go buy there. that's what i'm going to do.

This is great news.. not sure if I'll have to wait on them or not yet... Already have Monsters Inc. on DVD.. so it's not quite an imperitive at the moment. However, with the free movie tickets, if they also have a rebate for owners of the DVD, I'll definitely have to snatch them up quick!

I'm a bit surprised Finding Nemo isn't among this bunch being it was originally slated to release at the same time as Wall-E. Maybe Incredibles and Finding Nemo will both drop with Up on Blu? That'll get us set for all of them until Toy Story 3 is out, because you know they'll wait until that to release 1 & 2!
