At least the DVD art looks decent. But still... Disney, please let the Pixar releases maintain their awesome.
You're killing the awesome!
I think the whole BRD thing is also very much the Pixar brain trust's decision, not just Disney's. I think it's been said by many that these guys LOVE technology and extras and love it even more when it's cutting-edge Blu-Ray.
It's hard to accept and is kind of heartbreaking, but I doubt the fact that many cannot afford a whole new system/double-dipping is on these guys' minds much.
If the Trust really wanted "the people" to have access to all this stuff through regular DVDs, they would have used the power they have now to do something.
The paltry one-discer for Cars vs. the loaded BRD for Cars AND Ratatouille is all you need to know.
Wi th all due respect to Pixar and their fans, I doubt that Disney "forced" them to skimp on extras for Cars the first time around and said: don't you dare put any really cool extras on this until you're Blu-Ray!
If anything, I think Disney would have preferred Pixar to put more stuff on regular DVDs. (In order to reach a wider audience than they would with Blu-Ray) Like Apple, Pixar thinks in terms of people buying cutting edge technology no matter what the cost, or if not, then cutting edge technology for the ages, even if not many do not have access to it.
As long as it's "progress" and the important people, like film critics, technology experts and writers can access the BRD discs, I don't think they care much.
(Kind of like the iphone deal
)
(BTW this is only a basic generalization and no offense to anyone who is going Blu-Ray!
)
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
Kids have to recognize their favourite characters on the cover to make their parents buy the DVDs in ennormous quantities, but still... would be nice to see Exclusive Collectors Edition witch simple and elegant cover at like this
