With the summer season now officially over and school back in session, studios are queuing up to the podium ready to announce the DVD and Blu-Ray releases for their latest hit films. A few hours after Universal Pictures announced the October release of The Incredible Hulk, Disney and Pixar have likewise announced their planned home release for Wall-E. The robot tale will be available in both single-disc and triple-disc version on November 18, 2008, with the latter version coming with special features about the film's robot heroes, including Web vignettes and an interactive storybook, and a detailed documentary on Pixar.
The releases also include a digital copy of the film, playable on mobile devices. When the actual specs come in from Disney, we'll pass them along.
The Pixar film cost an estimated $180 million and wound up grossing $216.5 mil domestically and currently has another $70.2 mil in foreign sales.
Hooray!
Yet another opportunity to give my money to Disney.
I loved Wall-E. Now let's see if I love it enough to cough up the dough for the Blu-Ray disc.
I thought Wall-E was ok but it wasn't nearly as good as I'd hoped. I don't know if I can see myself watching this movie more than once more, hence I may skip the dvd.
I thinkj this is the worst performing Pixar movie, that does not mean it is bad. It seemed to get awesome reviews, but I did not see it yet. I am sure I will get it as I am trying to increase my Blu-Ray collection.
