It was an exciting year for Pixar Blu-rays. We were treated to A Bug’s Life in May, followed by Monsters, Inc. and Up in November. We also saw a re-release of Cars (with some additional toys, a new cover and a DVD copy). More importantly, Pixar continued to deliver wonderful looking (and sounding) Blu-rays with some of the best demo material for any home theater enthusiast. Extras were plentiful and insightful.
High Def Digest recently named Up and Monsters, Inc. on their Best Blu-rays of the Year list. Up also made the cut on both Shawn Fitzgerald’s Best Blu-ray List and Robert Searle’s list for 2009 (they both write for the HD Room). Lastly, sales figures indicate that these were a financial success. According to Home Media Magazine, here’s the a list of the Pixar Blu-rays on Top 50 Blu-ray Sellers of All Time (FYI: The Dark Knight and Iron Man are the top sellers thus far).
- 10. Up
- 15. WALL-E
- 28. Ratatouille
- 31. Cars
As for the Top 20 Blu-ray Sellers for 2009, Up is #5! What’s in store for 2010? We know that Toy Story & Toy Story 2 are scheduled to hit Blu-ray on March 23rd. We can expect Toy Story 3 in the usual November timeframe too. I wouldn’t be surprised if some fishy friends found their way to Blu-ray as well. It’s also feasible that we could see the first Pixar 3D versions on Blu-ray before the holidays (Toy Story 3 being the most likely candidate). Stay tuned for all the latest news on the Blu front…
