Seriously? P2P already? Hmmm. This is a tough one to call.
On one hand, I feel that the
first time anyone should experience this movie is in the theatre, along with the Wall.E trailer, and Lifted. I
have heard that Ratatouille is getting rave reviews and that it could be the best Pixar film to date. Coupled
with the fact that Pixar put an enormous amount of effort into their films, and you know the storyline will be
top notch. So you really are getting your money’s worth when you pay to see this in the theatre where it
deserves to be seen, instead of downloading. Shrek 3 is a totally different matter though… 
And then
on the other hand, I think that Pixar/Disney may have shot itself in the foot here by allowing such a drastic
delay between the US release and AUS and UK release. If somebody did live in two those countries did download
because they simply couldn’t wait that long, then I’m not going to judge them, because I do know the feeling of
being jilted and like, your country isn’t worth the amount of dollars it may cost them to release it at the same
time as in the US. Maybe Pixar will start to get the message of how annoying it is to have to wait four months,
and change their future plans accordingly?
Personally, no matter how strongly I would really want to just
go ahead and download it just so I don’t feel like I am missing something, I will probably just wait it out, no
matter how inconvenient to a big Pixar fan, such as myself. The benefits of watching it in a theatre for the
first time and having that whole experience would make up for it, but for the general downloaders who aren’t
Pixar fans like me, wouldn’t be as patient as I am.
Here’s to hoping this doesn’t happen again next
year.
