Wall-E Blu-ray details seep out, it's unsurprisingly getting the royal treatment

Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I'll take 1 of those 3 discs with an uncompressed audio format (studio's choice) and the movie for 13.66, please.
No way. I just want the movie. Movie studios need to cut the nonsense with throwing in garbage that only benefits them and the consumers. Oh, and all that "extra content and features" comes at the expense of the consumers. No thank you. $20 is all they'll get from me.
Didn't see it in theaters. Will be checking this out.
EEEeeva??? Walleee??? EEEeeva??? Walleee??? EEEeeva??? Walleee??? EEEeeva??? Walleee??? EEEeeva??? Walleee??? EEEeeva??? Walleee???
..there, now you've basically watched the movie! Save your money.
It's his opinion (Joseph), but it is no mystery why Wall-E is one of the best critically review film of the year (wait .. it -is- the best, 97% at Rottentomatoes), or that ist has a 8.7 user score on imdb.
Wall-E is downright fantastic on pretty much all levels, from the beauty of the pictures to the emotions it generates in the viewer.
Just for the visuals alone I would get Wall-E, but on top of that I also get a great film to boot :)
What's the point of shipping the digital copy on a DVD. You're going to need a code and activation to use it so why not stick it up online?
It may have something to do with the bandwidth a semi provides.
Didn't see it in theaters, not interested in it on Bloo-rae.
Rent it. It's worth a once-through.
"So, are you going to hand over $40.99 (MSRP) to hear that sweetheart utter "EEEEEVVVAAAAAA!" once more?"
Yes...as soon as I decide to get a BD player.
A hit? Not really, especially by Pixar's past performances. Wall-E is down to it's last legs here in North America and it's only made $216 million. That sounds great until you realize it cost $180 million to make and that doesn't count marketing costs (though tie-ins with others helps to defray that). Since theaters get at least a 40% cut of the box office, it's clear that it hasn't even paid the bills yet. And overseas it's only done $70 million so far. Disney won't lose money on it, but a film that doesn't make money until it hits DVD isn't exactly a hit.
unfortunately, this is the last Pixar movie i'll ever pay to see/own. i read the press release which outlined their projects for next several years and was sorely disappointed to not see anything concerning 'Incredibles 2'. however, i became incensed when i saw sequels for Toy Story and Cars listed.
"Cars?!", i nearly shouted. "F*&^ing Cars?!"
look, i can understand not wanting to do sequels for the sake of "moving forward, etc" but knowing that a sequel to a sub-par movie like Cars is getting made while their most critically acclaimed movie (not to mention #36 world-wide at the B.O.) is left twisting in the wind because it's not retard-easy for their marketing dept. to stuff down people's throats was the final straw for me.
The way I heard it, they're gonna do a Cars short. It's not going to be a full blown movie.
That said, I'm looking forwards to Toy Story 3.
Toy Story 1 & 2 are great but I don't know how 3 is going to work. Woody might have survived as a "family toy" but the others would be landfill by now.
You guys forgot to mention two disc version (for those that don't need the digital copy), disc three is just the digital copy. The 2 disc version is $5 cheaper. It’s also ironic that the picture you are using for this article shows the 2 disc version.
I promised my kid this one for Christmas, although it might be mysteriously out of its shrink wrap by the time he sees it.
I'd pay extra for the BRD/DVD 2 disc set, so I could play BD at home and DVD in the car. My kids need the DVD copy!
Wow $40!!! I'm glad I haven't jumped into Blu-Ray. I'll take the $14.99 DVD.
I'll certainly shell out money for the DVD just so I can see the Magician and the Rabbit short again. I was in tears for the whole 5 minutes it was that damn funny!
I would like to buy this but they need to include a regular DVD in the box - this is a kids movie which means mine will watch it in the car, on the portable DVD and on a laptop as well on my single Blu-Ray. So I'll buy the regular DVD thanks
