Now that I think about it, the only disappointing thing (for the first film at least) is that they removed the Pixar animated "Disney castle" which was something really neat when it actually came out. Yes, they have a new Disney castle, but sometimes it's a part of the movie's history.

Are the new 20th anniversary reissues that came out on Nov 2015 the same blu-rays but with new artwork?

Same, except they replaced the DVDs with digital HD codes. Toy Story 3 came out too.

Did they omit any of the extras? Was there a trilogy box? The cover art sucks, but if it keeps the extras and has DMA HD, that's not a bad deal.

I believe all the lost extras for the first two movies were lost long ago when the original DVD Toy Box of the first two movies became the original BD releases (and DVD re-releases).

Here is a list of the missing extras from the DVD Toy Box that I found on the internet so long ago, I forget who put it together:

This list features everything I found on the 3-Disc Ultimate Toy Box release.

Note: I created this by quickly by going through the Ultimate Toy Box DVDs and the BDs, and didn’t have the time to watch every single extra. Additional information was taken from Colin Jacobson’s detailed reviews over at DVDMG.com. Forgive me if I missed something. 

Ooh - cool thing I held on to the Toy Box after the blu-rays came out (I just stuck the blus in that box along with the DVDs).

And if I recall, these extras were on the big laserdisc set - at least in regards to the first Toy Story. I have t but haven't looked at the extras since I originally bought way back then.

Disney should release a new blu-ray box set since the UK set is the only one you can get with all 3 movies.

Huh?

http://www.disneystore.com/animation...kw%7c%7cpmt%7c

I found some multi disc cases and combined my Toy Box DVDs with the 2 disc DTS remaster DVD sets, so my Toy Box now holds 7 discs. I've got pt 3 on Blu but haven't gotten around to upgrading 1 and 2.

Why are all the animation studios going with these "selfie" type covers?

Dreamworks has done it with most of their rereleases including all the Shrek and Madasgar titles.





I noticed Fox is doing it with the covers like Ice Age on Vudu. Not sure if their blu-rays are being rereleased the same way:

http://www.vudu.com/movies/#search/ice age

And I've seen Warner do it with their budget Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny titles.

http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Jerry-Frie...ZD5PZBJF6KQR1D

I suspect some marketing expert has determined that one big head has been proven to be be better than a bunch of floating ones (as it relates to DVD/BD covers). Of course what they really should go with is the original poster and marketing art, but we often see them go completely way from that.

I thought that was OOP but still they could release them in a cheaper set for around $32-$36 like the Indiana Jones and Back to the Future sets.

It's still in print.

But even if it wasn't, are people now thinking that there is no way to get OOP releases? And unlike other OOP titles that go for double or triple the prior selling price, that box can easily be had for no more than buying each individual copy new.

I don't expect to ever see 3 Pixar films in a set for only $36 unless it's used copy on ebay, from a seller with a crappy rating. They normally go for around $15 each even when they are on a major sale. They are even $10 each on BF and then go back to the normal $20+ price point. YMMV

I guess so since they did it with the Star Wars Steelbook covers also.
