I have to say I’m extremely excited for A Bug’s Life: The First Draft, an animated version of A Bug’s Life’s first storyboards!! The roundtables also sound awesome, it’ll be great to hear the filmmakers perspective after many years of release, in A Bug’s Life’s case 10! Speaking of, I think that the "Bug’s" release should have the 10th Anniversary mentioned somehwere and maybe the Monsters, Inc. cover would benefit from some Boo action, maybe a shadow…<\/p>\n

Specifications:<\/strong> Monsters, Inc. will be available for $40.99 SRP<\/span><\/strong> and A Bug’s Life will be on sale for $39.99 SRP<\/span><\/strong>. The movies will be packaged with 2-discs with an added DisneyFile Digital Copy for iTunes or Windows Media Player. The feature film will be presented in 1080p<\/strong>, the best HD quality possible. You can pre-order them on Amazon<\/a> now, click on the titles above for links.<\/p>\n

The above image (not final, click to view larger) is courtesy of HDR<\/span>oom<\/a>, which reports that the Blu-ray discs will come packaged in an embossed foil O-sleeve and will include redeemable Up tickets, more details on that will be available later. It is also of note that the two beloved Pixar films will be released 10 days before Up, a great marketing tactic!<\/p>\n
