Author Topic: "The Incredibles" on Blu-ray April 12 Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 01-08-2011 07:44 PM                        Knowing this is one of the most wanted Blu-ray titles by many here, I figured it was worthy of a heads-up. Pre order page up at Amazon.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-09-2011 12:04 AM                        I am so there.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-09-2011 12:52 AM                    quote: Sam Graham most wanted Blu-ray titles by many Why?

I fit in that group of many F-T members who want The Incredibles on Blu-ray. Definitely will buy it. Of course if someone else doesn't like The Incredibles he can feel free to not buy or even see the movie at all. But that opinion has zero chance of getting in the way of me buying it.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-09-2011 02:25 AM                     Thank goodness it will be in 2D.

Another excellent Pixar effort to add to the collection. It should look great. $45.99 seems expensive though. I wonder why it's so much?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-09-2011 07:47 PM                     Yes, Incredibly Expensive. I agree it's a great flick though.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-09-2011 08:01 PM                     I not only am excited to see it, but to HEAR it. I remember seeing it in the cinema, and it sounded pretty good but when I got the DVD, the track on there was PHENOMENAL! Perhaps the cinema I saw it in was poorly aligned.

Disney Movie Reward folk will undoubtably see a $10 off coupon materalize just before the release of the bluray to further bring down the price.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I wonder why it's so much That's the MSRP listing, not what stores will actually be charging for it. Other Pixar titles have had similar MSRP levels. More than likely stores like Wal-Mart will be selling it for near $30. I figure Amazon.com will have the Blu-ray set priced somewhere between $19 and $25. Right now the pre-order price is $31, but that will probably drop. quote: Jonathan Goeldner as with all Pixar's blurays the ad's completely ignore that the soundtracks are derived from the Dolby Digital EX 6.1 mixes The original master recordings are uncompressed. They're not already cooked in a lossy compressed format like Dolby EX 5.1 or DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete for that matter. I expect the new Blu-ray will have a DTS-HD Master Audio track since just about everything Disney is releasing on Blu-ray has DTS-HD audio. As to whether it's 6.1 or 7.1, I don't know.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 01-11-2011 08:33 PM                     it better BE 6.1 since the DVD is.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-11-2011 09:16 PM                     That's no guarantee. I have all the Pixar movies on DVD from Toy Story up to Ratatouille. Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Cars had Dolby Digital EX 5.1 audio tracks on their original DVD releases. Ratatouille did not, the DVD just had regular DD 5.1. At least the packaging was labeled that way. I think Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 were re-released on DVD with DTS-ES 5.1 or 6.1 mixes, but I don't remember for sure. For DVD I have the "Ultimate Toy Box" edition containing the 1st and 2nd movies. On Blu-ray, Cars and Ratatouille have LPCM 5.1 audio tracks. Disney could have used discrete 6.1 or even 7.1 audio but didn't. The rest of the Pixar movies available on Blu-ray have DTS-HD Master Audio tracks. Toy Story 3 is the only one that features something bigger than a straight 5.1 track (DTS-HD 7.1). The funny thing is the Blu-ray discs of Toy Story 1 & 2 both have foreign language tracks encoded in Dolby EX 5.1. So really I don't know about The Incredibles having a 6.1 or 7.1 track. Disney isn't very consistent about this. While they were releasing Pixar movies on BD with 5.1 mixes they released some of their other classics with DTS-HD 7.1 tracks, such as Sleeping Beauty.  |  IP: Logged
