Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: A Bug's Life (1 Viewer)

Couldn't agree more, Scott. And the way we've seen some of these types of things go down, it wouldn't surprise me to see it even cheaper--within a month!

I have no knowledge that will happen...but I've seen lots of new releases end up in some special-deal sales very quickly lately. And since ABL amounts to a "B" title in the Pixar canon, I'm going to be patient, too.

I also figure it's a title I might end up finding "used" somewhere soon.

I don't understand Disney's pricing. Over on Amazon, the pre-release price for the Blu Snow White is $26 but ABL is $28. I know ABL is more recent but it's still considered a catalog title isn't it? I thought SW was considered one of the crown jewels of the Disney canon.

Maybe I'm just too old and remember SW better than many contemporary parents. I would think if a parent was looking for a title for the kids, the legendary status of SW would make it a more urgent purchase than ABL. Now if the parent is looking for something for himself/herself, you buy both (if they priced it reasonably)

Go figure.

It's starting to look like the movie cash might be a Best Buy exclusive I guess. If so, I apologize for spreading misinfo. Look for a sticker on the sleeve (under the shrinkwrap) shaped like a ticket to confirm.

As far as the hassle of it, it looks like it will work for me at a quality theater I like and it took all of 2 or 3 minutes to print out.

The movie cash is not a Best Buy exclusive, since I got my copy at Fry's.
Also, the movie cash is good at pretty much every Regal owned theater that can even show Up here in Portland, OR.

On a "glitch-related note," is anyone else having issues with the image getting pixelated, just for a second at the beginning when Flick is running to drop of his seeds at the rock? I have noticed it now, and what is funny, when I pause and reserve the Blu-ray and move forward again, it is gone. But it has done this now three times, each only once a day the first time I play that scene. There is no noticeable lock up or slow down and nothing visible on the surface of the disc.

19.99 @ TRU right now (though marked 29.99 on the shelf)
self scanner shows the price valid till 6/21

 

[Xylon]

oh boy. very nice.

 

[ToEhrIsHuman]

Thanks for this! TRU to his word.

Strange that I see no advertisement to this effect, but I'm not complaining. My TRU had copies with the free 'UP' ticket too. Saw 'UP' 3D yesterday and it was wonderful.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Is there a place online where I can look up the theaters where the movie cash is valid?

Might be time to take my son to his first real movie. . .

 

[LisaDoris]

When I entered the code and my zipcode, the website provided a list of participating theaters.

 

[ToEhrIsHuman]

Yes...posts 34 and 37 above by BrettB.

 

[Stephen_J_H]

TRU? Never heard of this.

 

[TravisR]

Toys R Us.

 

[Mike.B]

For what it's worth, my copy from Amazon did not have movie cash. Little disappointing, but not a huge deal since it's hard to make it to the theater these days with a rambunctious toddler around.

 

[Stephen_J_H]

Ahhhh.....

 

[DavidJ]

Got to watch this tonight and the presentation was even better than I expected. It looks stunning and the sound was great---trult deserving of the 5/5 score. The special features are also good and well done. So Matt why a 4.5 and not a on the special features?

See reply #22 in this thread.

Oops. I've read through the thread before, but either forgot about that post or skipped over it. Still a great disc and thanks for the reply.
