Disney Firmly Backing Blu-ray

    October 20, 2006

The folks at Ultimate Disney managed to get an early screener of the upcoming Cars DVD release and there was a new Blu-ray promotional video there. Now, we fully understand that this is not a live action/Disney review site, but it's important to understand how the format war is playing out as it will affect the anime field in the long run. The link above has several shots from the DVD itself and a number from the Blu-ray promotional video as well. With the caveat of them saying "Coming from Disney" and not "Coming soon from Disney," they have their marketing push by indicating that such titles as Little Mermaid, Lion King, Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo are going to find their way to the Blu-ray format.
