Disney: 'Narnia,' 'Nemo' and 'Sleeping Beauty' Coming to Blu-ray in 2008
The sort of announcement you'd expect to be made at CES (and not in the dead of August), Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has issued a press release previewing four of its top Blu-ray titles for 2008.
Referenced in the release for the first time publicly are upcoming Blu-ray releases for 'Sleeping Beauty' (Disney's first classic animated title to hit next-gen disc), 'Finding Nemo,' 'National Treasure,' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.' Though exact street dates have not yet been announced, the studio has provided seasonal guidance for all four titles, and promises each will push the boundaries of what has been seen so far on the Blu-ray format. First up in the Spring of 2008 will be the recent family hit 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,' which is slated to among the first Disney titles to include Picture-in-Picture bonus content. Next, in the Summer of '08, the studio plans to debut its first BD-Live Blu-ray Disc title, the action-adventure blockbuster 'National Treasure.' The Fall will see the release of two highly anticipated animated titles -- Pixar's 'Finding Nemo,' and -- in what promises to be a milestone release -- 'Sleeping Beauty,' which will be the first Blu-ray title to bear the studio's "Platinum Series" banner. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...ay_in_2008/870 |
Cool, I'll get Finding Nemo and Sleeping Beauty. Let's just hope they don't get delayed.
|
Sleeping Beauty is a must-have. I've seen it in 70mm and it looked gorgeous. I expect nothing less than perfection from the BD.
|
Any word on when BD Live is supposed to be a functional feature? I've read that the PS3 will be one of the first players to support it, but I still haven't heard a target date other than the "Summer 08" release date of Nemo and Narnia.
|
Looking forward to Narnia. Hopefully, there are no playback problems when watching it with the Sony BDPS300.

re: Narnia, wonder which cut it will be?

Nemo and Sleeping Beauty :up:
Narnia.... well if you can't say anything nice. |

Great news. Always good to see some more big exclusives.
|
Good news. After the stellar release of both Pirates movies, not worried about the quality of these discs at all...
|
I have to wait a whole freakin' year for Nemo? Crikey, that's going to be painful.
|
Sleeping Beauty is going to be good...
|
Nice news. Wish they were coming out sooner, but again nice news.

Ultimate Toy Box should fit on two discs, right? |
I suspect with Toy Story 3 coming summer of 09, we'll get 1 and 2 then, or as a trilogy boxset at the end of the yr.
|
Awesome news. Definitely going to pick up Sleeping Beauty since I never bought the SD release.
|
I'll get all of those. Just wish they were coming out sooner. Why tease us with something a year+ away?
