Dr. Seuss is going to steal Christmas thanks to HD DVD

Universal has gone and done it. Dr. Seuss is coming to HD DVD and he is going to make all the little children cry when he steals Christmas. The Ron Howard/Jim Carry classic is set to come out on November 21 loaded with Dobly Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 on a 1.85:1 1080p disc. This title is going to be present via a combo disc that is sure to make parents happy as the disc will play in the family room's HD DVD player and in the portable player as they traverse snow and ice to go see Grandma for the holiday season.

This title has been added to our HD DVD Google Release Calender

I've enjoyed visiting HDBeat everyday. Your industry updates are very informative and your demand for the highest quality picture from your home entertainment systems is to be lauded. But, I have to say, the way the word "classic" gets thrown around to describe the titles so far released on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray makes me question the validity of everything else on this site.

The only thing classic about Ron Howard's limp interpretation of the great book by Dr. Seuss is the classic inability of Hollywood to create original entertainment of substance.

Also, the Flash advertisements on your pages bring browsers to their knees and slow down surfing tremendously.

Otherwise, thanks for the fish and keep up the great work!

If the HD-DVD camp keeps pumping out the movies at this rate they will win the war based on sheer force.

I am currently a fence sitter waiting for bluray or hd-dvd to win out or for movie studios to just provide content in both formats.

From where I sit looks like hd-dvd is out to a commanding lead.
