I´ve had this set for two days now and have laughed and laughed way too much at the extra material on the discs.

They are extremely funny! Behind the Scenes just cracked me up big time. And the introduction on Disc 1, and the animation in the teaser for "The Incredibles" and...

Anyhoo, I really just wanted to post my Pixar Top 5:

1. Finding Nemo/Toy Story 2 (can´t really decide yet. Both are absolutely brilliant)
3. Monsters Inc.
4. Toy Story
5. Bug´s Life (A very good movie.)

As someone implied earlier:
Pixar has an extremely good track record!

Virtual aquarium looks great on my 16x9 plasma. It comes with sound effects. There is a slight pause when it starts the loop again. There are several, but with no fish!? Is there a way to get some fish in the aquarium? Perhaps an Easter egg?

Wait the virtual aquarium has no fish in it? Can someone clarify that. An aquarium with no fish is just a bowl of water. Who wants to see that?

And the movie is all about fish, That doesn't sound right no to have Fish in the virtual aquarium

DVDFile has their Finding Nemo review online:

Well, I haven't seen it yet but the acquarium in the film has lots of stuff in it other then the fish. It is far from being "just a bowl of water".

Aside from the movie which I enjoy, I can't wait to pop that disc in to my player and hear the dialog recorded for the menu. There was a preview of the first disc at jimhillmedia.com about a month ago, and he had transcribed some of the dialog and I was laughing just reading it, and I read it to my girlfriend over the phone and she was laughing too.

Tuesday, is fast becoming my favorite day of the week being the day when all the new releases hit shelves.

I know that feeling. And next week when 24 is back... Heaven!

I didn't see an answer to a question from earlier in this thread, so I'll ask it again: Is there an isolated effects-only 5.1 track on this disc? I really enjoyed this on the other Pixar flicks, so I'm very interested.

 

[Joe Fisher]

Is there an isolated effects-only 5.1 track on this disc? I really enjoyed this on the other Pixar flicks, so I'm very interested.

No. The only audio track on the widescreen version is a 5.1 DD EX English track. Full-Frame version has 5.1 DD EX English, Spanish & French Tracks. So no Isolated Effects only track this time around.

 

[Neil Joseph]

This film is perfection in my book, something for everyone, especially those of us with kids...

1- Finding Nemo
2- Toy Story 2
3- A Bug's Life
4- Toy Story
5- Monsters Inc (which is a great movie)

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

If you had watched the movie in the theaters, all the way to the end, you would understand this joke.

Never thought about that, that I can live with.

Is this a fact or are you just going by the announcement specs? Cause I distinctly remember seeing a menu shot of the audio options which mentioned a music-only track. I think it's on DavisDVD or UltimateDisney.

Paul I have the DVD and on the first disc there are only 2 soundtrack options:
1) english 5.1 448Kbps
2) commentary.

It looks like you can only play the commentary in the "extended cut" with some animations cetches in between.
The DVD is the same as the canadian diasc as it has the canadian rating on it.
The only virtual aquarium with fish is the one on disc two. but that one is full screen only. all have 5.1 sound at 384Kbps
there is also a very funny trailer for Lion King.
The discs also have THX trailers. Disc 1 has the Tex cow trailer. disc2 has the normal Tex trailer.
pretty cool disc,even though the encoding is pretty low (but picture is oustanding)
average bitrate: 5.5Mbps for a disc og 7.65Gb


There is no preview for Incredibles only the trailer.

I think that answered most of the questions on here.

 

[Sam Davatchi]

I just checked my DVDs (notice the s!) and there is no anything track only! What I also noticed is that the French and Spanish language tracks are available only for the full frame version not the widescreen!

 

[Tom_Bechet]

well whoever wants to watch a film in non original soundtrack won't care about Full screen anyway:frowning:

Disc two also has all the trailers of the film which is pretty cool. unfortunately they are widescreen with no 16x9 enhancement:frowning: but at least they are 5.1.

The extras format is a bit weird (at least on disc1): it is in 1.33:1 ratio but enhanced anamorphically. so on a 16:9 it wil look fine. But on a regular TV it will just ahve a "zoomed out" effect.

Or they could be encoded like most menu screens so that it will fill the 1.33:1 frame perfectly.

 

[Sam Davatchi]

Set your player to pan and scan and it might work for 4:3 TVs. (I have not tried it)

 

[PaulP]

What this then here? http://www.davisdvd.com/bin/menus5.html



EDIT: D'oh! I just realized what it is... Never mind.

Back to Knick Knack...

Think about this, how good is your movie studio if your WORST film is a bug's life? Pretty incredible.

I have said this very same thing. Nemo is a great film, well worth watching, eagerly anticipating its release in r4.
