Disney no longer providing the dts option? (1 Viewer)

[Erwin]

Other than Universal, Disney was one of the bigest dts supporters last year (they even provided it on their direct to DVD movies). I have noticed that dts has been missing on their more recent titles and even major titles such as Monsters Inc. does not have it listed.

Snow Dogs had dts surround but it was a cropped open-matte presentation.

Pulp Fiction - Collector's Edition Series & Jackie Brown - Collector's Edition Series will have the dts surround option according to the press information.

And I'm sure that dts audio might be included with the release of Lilo and Stitch.

I don't think Snow Dogs was Soft Matte because, from what I saw on the first 5 minutes of it on PPV (directv lets you see the first 5 minutes for free)the picture looked a little tight like it was pan and scanned. If it was matted, it would look even worse. I believe Snow Dogs was filmed in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, then PAN AND SCANNED for video.

Well, The Royal Tenenbaums has DTS, but Amelie did not, which is disappointing considering the rest of the world does.

Also, none of the Pixar films had DTS, possibly because of their connection with THX/Lucasfilm.

Nope - it's pan and scan. I compared some of the 1.85:1 extended scenes to those in the 1.33:1 feature and the latter cropped the image...

Lucasfilm have NOTHING against DTS. Really, this assumption has to stop going around... To go as far as to say Pixar's DVDs didn't carry DTS possibly because of the companies ties with Lucasfilm is insanity. There was a Toy Story DTS LD for one thing...

According to Amazon.de the upcoming Special Edition of A Bug`s Life (Code 2) will have German DTS. I do hope this is true!

Woody Allen never starred in A Bug's Life. That would be Dave Foley. If you want to hear Allen in dts, Antz is available in a dts DVD release.

...oops ! - my bad... got my bugs and my antz mixed up

The lack of DTS tracks on Pixar DVDs probably has more to do with lack of audio space on the DVD than anything else.

 

[Marty Christion]

I'm sure it's just a space issue. As the discs get crammed with trailers and games, there isn't a lot of room left for DTS audio.

Germany is indeed getting dts on the Monster's Inc. dvd but the fact that the track is German is realy bad.
I would have loved to have Monster's Inc in dts just like many others of you.
Buena Vista isn't supporting dts to much on their dvd's which is bad because usually they have good titles.
But I think titles like Bad Company , Lilo & Stitch , Signs and Reign Of Fire will have dts , at least I hope so

The swedish 2-disc deluxe version of Monsters Inc.(R2) will have an english DTS audio track

 

[Daniel Schenk]

And i`m sure the UK Editions of Monsters Inc also come with DTS.

As long as the rumored re-release of Crimson Tide has DTS, I'll be a happy camper.
