I’ve already mentioned this before in another thread, but the Blu-Ray release was a little bit deceiving for me. I’m still bumming because I missed my theater’s showing of the TS 3D double feature, and I was relieved to know that there was a home video release.
Well, as it turns out, 1) it’s not a double feature, they’re two seperate releases (doesn’t really matter, though), but 2) it’s not in 3D. What’s the point here?
Who else thinks it would be extremely awesome if they released Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D [preferably] before Toy Story 3?
It would definitely be a great release, it’s just the problem that pretty much nobody has yet to upgrade to the 3D plasmas (not sure if they even sell them yet) and 3D to Blu-Ray is still in-the-making isn’t it? I read somewhere that even though Avatar’s home release is April 22, 3D blu ray is too new, to expect a release of that sometime late November, which I heard was still to early Fox said. Plus, with the recent Blu-Rays, I doubt we’ll be seeing another release anytime soon, except maybe a trilogy pack.
Ah, I never took into account that true 3D, like it was released, was so experimental for home video at this point. Even so, an anochrome release wouldn’t be terrible.
The reason why Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were released separate is because they are two different movies.
Why would would you expect Blu-ray to be in 3D?
The point of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 being released in Blu-ray is because Blu-ray is superior to DVD in all categories.
I’m not sure quite how many people actually have 3D TVs, but I can’t imagine it’s that many. Surely a 3D Blu-ray release would hence be a bit premature? Unless I’m missing the point.
Except price. To me, the price just doesnt’ justify the quality difference seen here. I mean, I’ve seen some live-action movies given a nice upgrade on Blu-Ray, but there’s only so far you can take Toy Story.
You should probably lock this up, since I didn’t see it in theaters, I assumed it was in anachrome, which I now know it’s not.
Doue features aren’t exactly a common thing, the only recent one I even know of is Grindhouse, and even that saw separate releases. It also makes little sense with TS3 around the corner, to have a double feature set then a third movie separate. And it’s not even like it was intended to be a double feature, it was shown that way once, but never designed to be one.
A trilogy set makes a whole lot more sense later on.
Only so far you can take toy story? How can you look at the side by side comparisons and say that? There are loads more detail that you might not have known was there until now. Live action isn’t the only thing that bennifits from an HD upgrade.
As for the price, well I only paid 4 bucks for both together for mine, but that almost never happens. Even still, the price difference is at the point where it’s mere dollars more than the DVD versions. The price gap has really closed up in the last couple years.
Probably the same reason they’re waiting a year to release Avatar, the posterchild for 3-D movies, next year. More people will likely have upgraded by then, considering the price goes down to a more “casual-friendly” range.
