The Nightmare Before Christmas - BD - Fall '08 (1 Viewer)

[Roogs Benoit]

Just because it wasn't shot in 3-D doesn't mean that Disney won't release it that way. It was released in theaters in 3-D even though it wasn't shot that way.

It may not be the best 3-D presentation but it's still 3-D.

We may not see 3-D on BD for a while, but I'm fairly sure that Disney is releasing Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus in 3-D on BD. That will be released after a while though.

But you may know better than I do about that.

I do think it will be 7.1 wheather it's 2-D or 3-D.

There have actually been TWO different anamorphic DVDs in Region 2: the first release had a cropped 1.85:1-version, which was also used on the special-edition in the UK. But the German SE and some other releases in Europe use a completely new 1.66:1 anamorphic transfer which looks absolutely gorgeous. If this transfer (or a similar one) is going to be used for the Blu-Ray, we're in for a real treat!

Previews for this movie are on the new Blu-ray edition of NARNIA, and it looks spectacular in 1080p.

It looks like Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus will be released in 3-D on BD 8/19/2008. They mention 3-D glasses will be included so that means it will be in the anaglyph method which is the worst 3-D process.

Roland,
Do you know for certain that that they will be using the anaglyph method, or is this just a guess on your part? I would just as easily guess that they would include inexpensive polarized lens glasses, which produce a much more satisfying 3-D experience.

 

[RolandL]

Polarized lens glasses are for movie theatres only. They do not work on video.

Roland,

I didn't say it would be great 3-D, just 3-D.

I'm more interested in hearing the score in lossless format than wearing any colored glasses.

I for one would love to buy this! Here's what I'm hoping will be carried over to the BD:

Region 1 Special Edition DVD

Of course with the obvious use of 1080p via VC1 or MPEG4/AVC and full lossless audio on a BD-50. And with the obvious set of new extras for this release. Too bad I've never seen Tim Burton's Corpse Bride yet. No worries, I'll rent it soon.

Good to see this one coming out on BD soon. I never bothered to pick up the crappy, old DVD version.

I'm still hanging on to my LD box with h/cover book and Katzenberg footage in the documentary!

But I'll be in line for the BD!

 

[Bleddyn Williams]

Ha ha, same here! My LD player isn't even connected to my system anymore. Do miss those great box sets, though!

Why wouldn't they? It was projected digitally in the theater, so wouldn't it be basically the same as projected digitally at home? With a 1080p projector, resolution shouldn't be an issue. And both come from a digital source, not film.

I'm very curious about the Hanna Montana DVD from the 3D perspective. I can always watch the video with the sound off.
