Disney has announced the street date and title list of their third set of Blu-ray releases, with six titles hitting stores on November 21st. A combination of The list includes:
- Annapolis
- Casanova
- Flightplan
- Goal! The Dream Begins
- Sky High
- The Wild
This has to be the worst group of Blue Ray Dvd yet, who the fuck cares about these DVD's during holiday. Disney U Suck!
Why does Disney release tier 2 movies and ignore great oppurtunities like Cars and Pirates?
Ya sky hight couldn't be a better choice for early adoptors....these movies don't suck at all....
This a nice collection. Planning to buy one. What were the movies in the first and second wave blu ray discs?
What is up with these Disney releases? Where's Lion King?
Isn't Touchstone a Disney studio? Where's Tombstone?
Isn't Pixar a Disney studio now? Where's Monsters, Inc.? Where's Toy Story?
Brid, 1st wave is on Sep 19 (Dinosaur, Eight Below, Great Raid, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back); 2nd is Oct 17 (Brothers Grimm, Dark Water, Glory Road, Gone in 60 Seconds and Haunted House).
I hear you on all these comments, Disney sure isn't throwing the big guns (any Pixar title, Pirates, etc.) into the mix yet. While it's nice to see some other-than-action movies in the list of next-gen titles -- after all, we want our wives to watch at least SOME of these and get interested in HDTV! -- it would really boost confidence in the Blu-ray format and quiet the haters if some big-name titles were released.
As for most of their animated titles: Unfortunately, Disney has this awful policy of releasing them in waves of their own about every three years. They literally take them out of circulation inbetween, that's why you notice a re-re-rerelease of all the classic animated titles every few years, so Disney can control the supply side and make more bucks off the collectors and consumers who want to buy for their kids.
