How dare you talk about Office Space that way.

Maybe someone at amazon made a mistake?

No...looks like some other Disney titles might be delayed as well. The 2010 dates are not correct, but don't expect these in May 2009. We'll know more soon but I'm hoping this is wrong.

Jeff Kleist of the Digital Bits just confirmed on blu-ray.com that the title is delayed. Doesn't know the reason yet.

Rounders is also delayed.

Damn you, No Country! They'll be pressing so many of your second discs, they'll never fit Monsters, Inc. on that production line.
I'm sure everyone on here would rather Disney release a movie already on BD than Monster's Inc this year.

Sure, but they probably also know that the two releases have nothing to do with each other beyond sharing a format and a studio.

Gizmo 03-12-09 03:31 PM

Checking on Amazon...

Monsters Inc
A Bugs Life
Rounders

have no dates.

Either BD50 issues or they want to release it later in the year. Seems like a last minute decision though - and a poor one at that.

Crap! A Bug's Life, too?! Say it ain't so, Pixar Joe!

Maybe they bumped them up 2 weeks to 5/5/2009? After all, that's a Tuesday like 5/19 was.

Either one of these films are likely to sell more copies then a re-release. Poor sales (high expectations?) of Pinocchio could have done it. We'll know shortly though...fuck.

:confused: The future holds many Tuesdays. What's so special about that one?

pinata242 03-12-09 03:35 PM
re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
If 5/5/2009 is a Tuesday, would 5/5/2010 be one? /Rhetorical

What's the point of the placeholder in that email if it has no meaning?

If it's not production issues, then I don't know why they'd release it later. They should have a good idea of their schedule. I wonder if this means whatever was going to be released when Up hits BD will get bumped to 2010?

sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :sad:

Well, who can say what they're thinking? I don't think we've ever gotten a reason that Nemo was delayed last year. Maybe they just made an 11th-hour decision that something else (Nemo? Incredibles?) would go better with the Up theatrical release.

We just want you to be the bearer of more news. Specifically...

WHY?! WHY, OH WHY?!

Disney has been pretty lame with 2009 in general. Very few catalog releases and they are skipping out on some Theatrical ones as well (Boy in Striped Pajamas). They have been a big disappointment to me - even when they claimed a few months ago they expect BD to overtake DVD in 2 years.

My guess is they want to release these closer to Q3/Q4...and if so, that means the other two Pixar titles will get pushed into next year.

I'll still pick these up after a (hopefully) short postponement.

Disappointing but I was gonna hold off for holiday sales anyways.... hopefully we still get a couple of catalog releases this yr.

I received a different email. Instead of 5/5/2010 mine says the following:

Hello from Amazon.com.

We're writing about the order you placed on February 27 2009 13:32 PST (Order# 002-2190124-1543430). Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below has changed, and we need to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

Billy Crystal, et al "Monsters, Inc. [Blu-ray]" [Blu-ray]
Estimated arrival date: 05/12/2010 - 05/18/2010
Someone there must not know what's going on and is just making stuff up.

filmfreak 03-12-09 09:23 PM

A Bug's Life hasn't changed.

Items not yet shipped:
Delivery estimate: May 22, 2009 1 of: Bug's Life [Blu-ray]

Ugh, I hope this is just a shifting of dates as I was really looking forward to this.

re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
I read that while those may just be place holder dates right now, that Disney has delayed the releases of both Rounders and Monster's Inc. until next year.

I think I read this at the HD room and it looked pretty official.

mdc3000 03-13-09 08:24 AM
re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
It would make sense to me if they released A Bug's Life on time, to tie into UP and held Monsters, Inc. for closer to UP's home video release.... I'm pissed about it, but it would make sense to me. :down:

Doctorossi 03-13-09 08:33 AM
re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
It would make sense to me, too, if they didn't also have The Incredibles and Finding Nemo on hand to fill that role.

They were pretty lame with 2008, too, weren't they?

At least the discs they do release are usually pretty bitchin'.

I'd rather have slow and great than fast and half-assed.

Yeah, but in this case (and others) it isn't like Disney is holding these back to make them more awesome. They seem to like to delay releases just to fit their marketing and sales schedules.

...hence the "Disney Vault". As I was once told by a Disney employee "The mouse never gives anything away for cheap"

False dichotomy there: how about fast and great? They've had years to prepare these titles.

I was looking forward to Monster's Inc. on BD. :sad:

Gizmo 03-13-09 03:49 PM
re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
A Bugs Life is still ready to go...Monsters Inc...well, not so much. Shame since when you open your copy of Bolt on Blu-ray you get hit with an advertisement saying "MAY 2009". Delays for other titles are coming as well.

Doctorossi 03-13-09 03:50 PM
re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
Any idea as to the cause yet, Gizmo?

Nope, no idea on the delays of Monsters Inc or Rounders. It may not even be "official" yet as no one has answered my questions. I'm a bit more upset at some other BD news I heard today which really makes me wonder if Disney is going to even release catalog/TV titles this year. It's becoming a huge joke and I'm getting pretty fucking tired of it.

Hence your expectation of additional delays despite no official confirmation?

Until Disney comes out and says "delayed" its not official. Being pulled from almost all major retailer websites is a big sign...but until Disney say's so its still speculative. The other ones I know for sure as I just saw a press release for them on a format that is not Blu-ray.

As I said before, watch what Alliance in Canada is releasing. Their releases were supposed to be tied to what's coming out here in America for certain Mirimax/Disney/Newline titles. Notice how Rounders Canadian was close to the American version? Or Ronin? Silence of the Lambs? What you see out there is what we were supposed to get (for the most part).

Doctorossi 03-13-09 04:40 PM
re: A Bug's Life coming in May
 
Thanks, Gizmo!

No catalog or tv, huh? Does this mean looming bad news for Lost fans?
