[Sam Davatchi]

did you pick this dvd up at a store or is this a preview copy

A store. Both this and the Hulk dvd are retail DVDs.

Pixar reduced the breast size on a mermaid in a short film.

Is this it:

You mean they went back and touched the original files and re-rendered the sequences?!! That’s just stupid! Wasn’t this an important, historical work for them? You can’t just go and change it!

 

[Ned]

I can't imagine the video quality for Finding Nemo receiving any less than perfect scores from reviewers!

They jammed both the P+S and widescreen versions on the same disc as well as extras and the video quality suffers for it. It won't bother most people viewing it on smaller tv's but on a projector the artifacts are quite visible. Far from "reference material".

This is not true. It’s a 2 disc set. The widescreen is on Disc 1 and the Full Frame on Disc 2.

Those that want to see the Big-Breasted Pixar girl on DVD; put in Toy Story 2 to where Potato Head is clicking through the channels on TV really fast. The girl is shown a couple of times in all her, ahem, glory. There are clips from a bunch of other Pixar shorts on other channels as well.

So, who's right? Did Ned make something up saying all was on one disc, or is Sam making up something by imagining a second disc in his set? Or are there 2 sets on the market?

Hey Sam, thanks for all the great pics but do you think you could post a couple pics without so much jpeg compression, it's really noticable on some shots. I wanna see how great the transfer will be

Here's that shot from Toy Story 2:

Ned made something up. The separate versions of the films are on separate discs. Disc 1 is Widescreen and more geared to Enthusiasts, Disc 2 is more geared to...ahem..."families."

 

[Brian Brantley]

can't wait for this dvd! Gonna love the soundtrack too because the bastard theater I went to had no surround sound!!

Please, I have the set in my hands. I own it. Where do I get the screenshots from!

So, does anyone know if there is any differences between the US and Canadian versions, like it was with Monsters Inc.?

 

[Rob Gillespie]

I can't believe they changed Knick Knack.

I would have given Pixar more credit than to do that.

 

[Jeremy Allin]

Sam, thanks for all your effort!

Does Finding Nemo have an isolated 5.1 effects-only track? I know the US version of Monsters Inc. did but it was left off the Canadian version.

 

[Joe6pack99]

Hmm is it me or does the "fullscreen" seem to have more picture information?

 

[Allan Petersen]

I believe the fullscreen version uses recomposited renders. The individial characters have been moved slightly to make them fit naturally into the 4:3 frame. The images were subsequently generated again.

Pixar used this technique before when releasing 4:3 versions of their other movies.
