DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition: MUST BUY (1 Viewer)

[Chet_F]

Sounds good - count me in......assuming it's at a good price.

 

[Fabien Renelli]

I read in the DVDFile review that there is a french track and french subtitles... So, is it right?

 

[Mike Frezon]

I cannot wait to see what David's got to say about special features! This is insane!

 

[DaViD Boulet]

French and Spanish 2.0 DD language tracks...

more to come this afternoon when I have time to post!

(p.s. most of the SE material is ported from the existing box set...bottom line is tha bonus material is *not* a reason to upgrade to this new copy...but it's not a reason to avoid the purchase either)

 

[Jonny P]

Please describe the packaging. Thanks...

 

[Ray H]

It'll probably be the usual two-disc keepcase with slip cover.

 

[Bill Williams]

Good review, David. But I'm planning to stick with my OOP copy of The Ultimate Toy Box, no sense for me to double-dip on this title.

 

[Shane Martin]

Considering what the UTB goes for on Ebay. I might be tempted to sell mine.

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Holy *#%!, I didn't think it possible but you've convinced me!!!


I agree that we need comparisson shots though, do you have captioning capabilites because I like others am also drooling in anticipation and cannot wait to see what you're describing!







and I'm still not parting with my Toy Box, I refuse to let it go!!!

 

[Mike Frezon]

"most", eh?!?!

David, since TS 2 is one of my favorite all-time movies (with TS not too far behind), I am reading each word you write here VERY carefully. Not TOO much pressure, is it?!?!

EDIT** Ya know, it wasn't until I pushed the "POST" button and saw my post pop up on-screen that I realized what was in my sig. :b Well...not that I "forgot", I just don't usually think of it as being in context to the discussion at hand.

 

[Ravi K]

I just got the R2 Ultimate Toy Box from eBay (R2 because I found it for about $30). Well, I may have to buy this and the inevitable TS2 SE up if the transfers are as good as you say.

 

[Ed St. Clair]

A fair & just review of the transfer and the situation (previous release is still near reference & HD is coming). Thank you.

 

[Ravi K]

Could you post some examples of the extra detail in the new transfer compared to the old one?

 

[Lord Dalek]

Terrific, I was gonna buy this one regardless (never got the Ultimate Toy Box =() but you're review has sealed the deal

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

I just love my Ultimate Toy Box too much. I can't make a definitive argument against other folks upgrading, but I think I'll stick with what I've got at this point.

 

[Max Leung]

I don't believe the Benq 8700 projector has any captioning capabilities - heck I don't think it is possible to send it over a DVI connection - can it? Hmmm. And I don't remember if the Momitsu V880 player can generate caption titles either - I doubt it.

I had no clue Disney was releasing a new Toy Story set - I am still in a state of shock.

 

[Max Leung]

BTW David, I do believe the Momitsu does add a very small amount of ringing to some images. It is subtle, but to me it makes some scenes look "digital" - for example, when Sam runs up the stairs to rescue Frodo in ROTK, the walls seem to sparkle - which doesn't occur on my HTPC. So your observation of very small vertical ringing could be the same artifact...

Anyways, great review David!

 

[Joseph Bolus]

OK, OK, Already! I give up! I'm pre-ordering the thing NOW!

Seriously, I can't wait to feed this transfer to my new Infocus 4805! It sounds as though this could be the ultimate demo disc for a native 480p res pj!

Thanks for the tremendous review!

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Just updated the bonus feature area (and a bit in the PQ area)...

and thanks to William who emailed me and alerted me to the many mis-spellings in the review...I had run the whole thing through MS word before the initial posting but apparently I pasted the old draft into the post and not the spell-checked version! I'm so embarassed... :b

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Can someone please compile a list of extras that were NOT carried over to this new edition from the ultimate toy box?

What's been "dropped" on this release in terms of supplementals?
