Beauty and the Beast (Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman) on 28.3.2011 - Blu-ray Forum

Beauty and the Beast: The First Season Blu-ray

Beauty and the Beast: The Second Season Blu-ray

Beauty and the Beast: The Third Season Blu-ray

Beauty and the Beast: The Complete Series Blu-ray

One of my favourite series is coming to Blu-ray..
To be honest I thought a series this old cannot be properly transfered to Bluray.. Let's hope we dont experience another "Highlander The Series" where they simply put upconverted 720p material.

Pre-order: HMV UK PLAY

Seems a bit too high for a series this old...

mod note: There seems to be some confusion about the seasons cover's numbering on Amazon

DaveSimonH · 01-15-2011, 05:33 PM

I don't think they even released a DVD of this series in the UK...

It wasn't just regions 1 and 4. They both had separate seasons and a complete set. This seems older than '87 to '90 to me I thought it was mid '80's.

Ah Ron Pearlman our generation's Lon Chaney, Sr or Jr.... Without the make-up kit.

demiscy · 01-15-2011, 07:30 PM

Yes the US and Australia got a dvd release but the Netherlands got some really nice dvd sets...

Didn't remember it at first but that picture at the top made it all so familiar, think they may be being a bit optimistic with that price though.

Yeah £45-£48 for one season is silly, even if it was all 3 seasons I'd probably still wait for a price drop.

It's almost a pricing of Paramount proportions. Which for what is basically a cult series is a bit much.

demiscy · 01-15-2011, 10:15 PM

Let's see what the picture looks like first...

Jerome · 01-20-2011, 03:29 PM

what a ugly cover. Where is the romance ?

Yuck. Photoshop city, the pic in the original post had more chemistry in it.

demiscy · 01-20-2011, 04:46 PM

6 discs??? hmmm
that alone makes me think they have done a good work remastering it in HD..

Hopefully there will be extras we didnt get in the R1 dvds

you could also click on my pic, it has the same effect

Was this show shoot in 35mm and edit on video like a lot of TV series in the 80s ? Quite hard to make some HD transfers with this.

Well the show didn't have any special effects in it. Pure drama. Maybe that makes it easy to present to HD?

chip75 · 01-20-2011, 06:22 PM

I dont know if this was shot on 35mm, 16mm perhaps Buffy was 16mm early on. I can't remember were the undergroung people mutants like in Futurama or were they a separate species? Or a mix?

You mean in BatB?
They were normal people.......

ChrisDilke · 01-30-2011, 01:18 AM

The other two seasons are now up for pre-order on Amazon. They are incorrectly listing two DVD versions of Season 2, however the more expensive version says Blu-ray in its description. I've sent Amazon some page updates.

Season 2:

Season 3:

demiscy · 01-30-2011, 09:42 AM

So Season 2 is out on April 25th and Season 3 on May 30th..
They are really in a hurry to push these out aren't they..

It's funny what your memory does to you lol. I was sure they were different in some way. Apart from trying to form a Utopian society underground.

demiscy · 02-03-2011, 09:24 AM

Was there any official press release for this?
