Brad1963 · 08-13-2009, 11:29 PM

If it is what is the point with putting a DVD with a blu-ray movie I'm tired of this how is Blu-ray going to take over if studios keep putting DVD with Blu-ray they never did it with VHS so why do it now?

Because a VHS wouldn't fit in a DVD case, zing

How did I know this was coming..? Cartoons of Horton and Grinch are coming to blu in October... only a matter of time they released Carrey's other remake.

sfmarine · 08-13-2009, 11:36 PM

I'll probably pick this up.

P@t_Mtl · 08-13-2009, 11:37 PM

Good news, for me. I know that this movie does not have a lot of fans but I love it and I will buy it on BD, should look very sweet indeed.

goodtricks · 08-13-2009, 11:39 PM

Buying this Christmas season:

Christmas Vacation

The Grinch (2000) was a great movie. definitely worth the buy for me. thanks for the news.

great1 · 08-14-2009, 12:10 AM

Agree lots of fun, and the replay value is there. Added bonus for me: son loves it.

Don't think that Universal may do that for this one, they already did it for The Incredible Hulk.

year I remember taking my little bro to see it. we both enjoyed it very well. The Cat in the House I thought was out of control. The amount of language they used in that movie was shocking, can't believe it was actually done as a family movie.

nycomet · 08-14-2009, 12:18 AM

This is a MUST HAVE holiday family movie. Jim Carey is a RIOT!
I was The Grinch would come out in time for this Christmas.

My Grinch DVD is green, so I wouldn't doubt they'd go that route again.

Mr. Cinema · 08-14-2009, 12:46 AM

The list price is only $19.98? I wonder if that's an error on there site, especially since 0 major catalog titles released on BD have debuted with that listing.

supercutz · 08-14-2009, 01:09 AM

I love this movie so I'm happy about this news.

I just wish Universal kept the original name of "The Grinch". It's a better title, imo and it makes it so it's not confusing the movie with the cartoon. This is probably a classic scenario where marketing declared name recognition was more important than consumer confusion. Oh well. Like I said, I'm still glad the movie is coming. It should look awesome (it better).

Pouyan · 08-14-2009, 01:13 AM

Just a small warning to people. I have this on hd dvd and the video quality was pretty bad. Probably one of my softest, dullest video transfers in my collection
