Thanks for all the info. My funds are limited too. I'll probably buy A Bug's Life and Monsters Inc. Those are two of my wife's favorites.

I knew you'd track down the culprit!

Damn you, No Country! They'll be pressing so many of your second discs, they'll never fit Monsters, Inc. on that production line.

How dare you talk about Office Space that way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
