It's nice to know that the older Pixar films are coming to Blu Ray.

Wow Monsters, Inc... I just might go blu for that title alone. Great news. I love that movie

Pixar might be a reason why I get a Blu-Ray player sooner rather than later.

Do it, guys! You won't regret it and you won't look back!

Can a Mod edit the OP Title to include the titles names?

Man, April and May are going to be expensive for me! I'm in for these two titles!

CAN'T WAIT!

Should be awesome.

Monsters, Inc. is one of the few that I'll pay whatever they ask to upgrade.

Here's a little more information from UltimateDisney.com:

February 20, 2009 - Disney has announced May 19th as the day that Pixar's beloved hits A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc. will make their Blu-ray debut.
Two discs plus a digital copy ROM, Monsters ($40.99 SRP) will include the all-new ride featurette "Building Monstropolis in Tokyo", a filmmakers' round table, and BD-Live.

One disc plus digital copy, Bug's Life ($39.99 SRP) adds a filmmakers' round table, BD-Live, and the original story treatment.

Both slipcovered releases will also contain a movie ticket offer for the studio's 10th film, Up.

Nice news about the tickets. I'll probably buy both since I know me and my girlfriend will be watching Up.

Will get both. But it's nice A Bug's Life is coming out sooner than later.

MSRP creeping up in comparison to past Pixar BD releases?

and merge with the already existing thread?

Will definitely be picking both of these up...A Bug's Life is a personal favorite of my wife's so I'm sure she'll be excited.

Although I'm very excited for both of those and must have them, I was hoping The Incredibles would have been one of the two new titles.

I will without a doubt be picking both of these up. The Pixar discs that have been released thus far are by far my favorite BDs in my collection. These will no disappoint.

Plus, awesome they are including Up! movie cash.

fuck yeah. two of my favorite Pixar movies. definitely picking them up. keep the DVDs for the kid and the BDs for me.

I wonder if these will include upgrade rebate offers for owners of the DVD versions. I doubt it, but it'd be nice.

Fucking. Awesome.

Pixar is the bomb diggity.

I've never seen A Bug's Life so i'll be picking it up. Monster's Inc is a must have for me.

Kuroasawa on Blu (Ran), BSG complete series, and now an additional Pixar title which just happens to be Monsters INC? This is probably one of the best weeks ever for BD! On a related note, The Art of Pixar Short Films arrived today, thumbed through it and it looks great.

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.

Such good news...just sold my DVDs a couple months ago in anticipation. I'm very excited about these.
