I agree that it might have been best to leave Dr. Calico off of the cover. I think some kids who have not seen the film might be a little disappointed to learn his role is not as big as the cover suggests. Nonetheless, I really like that Bolt DVD and Blu-ray artwork.

Here is some more info on the Bolt Blu-ray and DVD editions. It turns out that the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo will be released on Sunday, March 22. The standard DVD versions will arrive March 24.

Unfortunately, both of those dates are extremely close to March 21, which is when Twilight will hit stores. I still think Twilight opening against Bolt is the main thing that hurt the latter film at the box office. But you never know, now that word-of-mouth has spread about the movies, Bolt may end up beating Twilight this time.

Actually, since both "Twilight" and "Bolt" were aiming for completely different audiences, it seems to me that they wouldn't have much of an impact on each other. If "Bolt" got a blow from anything, it was "Madagascar."

I see your point and agree that Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa probably affected Bolt's box office reception. Still, I think people from Twilight's target audience helped, even if just a little, many of Pixar's and DreamWorks Animation's films make over $200 million at the box office. With that in mind, on the weekend when Bolt and Twilight opened against each other, I believe several folks would have seen Bolt if a phenomenon such as Twilight had not been a new option.

That does make sense, considering Twilight's devoted fanbase, along with the many filmgoers who were just curious, and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I feel sorry for the latter. They probably weren't expecting to see a comedy

I bought this magazine at the German frontier today.

Rhino is Dino in German.

Who else is jazzed by Bolt's Oscar nom? Anyone read my comments on the front page about the Oscars? I'm fairly stoked that a proper Disney movie is back in the running, even if it is WALL-E's year.

Yes, I think it's great and think "Princess and the Frog" could actually beat "Up "at Oscars 2009 (but that's a ways off). But for sure, no way could "BOLT" beat "WALL-E", as much as I'd like it to!

Wait,Bolt is getting a 2 discs edition?.

Post by **Neal** » January 29th, 2009, 7:59 am

Yeah -

Single Disc Standard DVD (March 24)
2-Disc Deluxe DVD (I guess with only 24 minutes of extra material) (March 24)
Blu-ray which includes the standard single disc DVD (March 22)

Good for Bolt

but it's not right that Enchanted didn't got 2 discs too but that means that there's going a Special Edition for Enchanted.
