Pixar Fanboy

Up and Monsters Inc. have been out on Blu-ray for a couple weeks now, and I’ve thankfully had time to enjoy them, but haven’t had much time to write about them. Now I’m on holiday and I thought I’d go ahead and post some thoughts on the releases, in case you still haven’t decided on them yet.

Up Blu-ray

I knew Up was going to look gorgeous in high-definition, but I had no idea it was going to look this good. I saw Up in the theater four or five times (nothing compared to some of our intrepid Pixar Fanboy Facebook/Twitter fans!), but I almost felt like I noticed details more when I watched it at home. One visual that stuck in my memory was the detail in Carl’s grass before he takes off in his house. The video quality of Up on Blu-ray is amazing, bottom line.

Well, I didn’t get review copies of Up and Monsters Inc. on Blu-ray, so my reviews will have to wait until next week. Thats not all bad though, because I just pre-ordered them on Amazon and found out that if you get both, you can save ten dollars!

Just add Up and Monsters Inc. to your cart and you’ll get $10 deducted off the total, which is a steal for two films as fine as these!

Stay tuned next week for my official reviews, I can’t wait!

Here is a closer look at the Luxo Jr. Collectable Desk Lamp set that will be released on November 10th, along side the other editions of Up and Monsters, Inc. It includes a working Luxo Jr. lamp (with a base that will hold all of your Pixar Blu-rays), and the 4 disc Up Blu-ray.

It’s going to retail for $199, but I’m sure it will be less at big retailers. Which version of Up are you going to buy?

Pete Docter’s two classic films Monsters, Inc. and Up are going to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 10th. They’ll be available as one disc DVD sets, or as 4 disc Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy sets. I will definitely be picking up the Blu-ray sets the day they come out. Even if you haven’t made the jump to high definition yet, I highly suggest going ahead and getting these. You’ll have the film on DVD and as a digital copy, but you’ll also have the Blu-ray for later use.

The Up Blu-ray set sounds amazing, containing both Partly Cloudy and the new Dug’s Special Mission shorts, as well as a whole lot of documentaries chronicling the making of the film, and the filmmakers’ journey to South America.
