Cars 2 3D Blu-ray (2011) [Region Free] - Blu-ray Forum

TWright · 04-07-2011, 10:48 PM

OK, so maybe it's a little premature to talk about a 3D BD release, but here's hoping

I watched the 3D trailer for it at the beginning of another movie (I think it was Tangled?) and WOW, it sure looks nice. I'm not sure if any of you are gearheads, but if so you may remember Dave Deal. He was a prolific artist whose caricatures of cars were featured in many of the 60's & 70's "CARtoons" magazines as well as many hot rodding magazines. Even today if you thumb through Motor Trend you're likely to find his work in an ad or two. He also designed the Deal's Wheels car models of the 60's & 70's. He was a good friend of mine and he passed away not too long ago of cancer. What you might not know is that he generated the character designs for Cars and Cars 2 (in sketch form) and worked with Pixar to tweak them into the animated versions. It's a shame he wasn't able to see this 2nd movie in completed form, especially in full 3D glory

I'm looking forward to its release at the theaters this summer, and hopefully a home 3D release later this year, fingers crossed

Yeah I reckon it'll be a November release! But remember we also have Lion King and Nightmare Before Christmas..so it might be a 2012 release.

I was underwhelmed by the preview. There was nothing there to make me want to see the movie and the 3D did not stand out at all.

It's not so much geared towards adults that's for sure, but my son really loved the first one and as a result I couldn't help but love it as well

The thing I really liked about this trailer was all the neon colors against dark backgrounds in the Tokyo scenes, that just struck a chord with me similar to the original Tron. I also liked how the 3D was used to give the scenes a lot of depth, there wasn't a lot of pop-out in the trailer but there may be in the movie.

Disney announced that both would be released on 3D BD this year. See the below article, it lists some of the other promised releases as well:

So far, Pixar seems to be in the subtle 3D camp. Toy Story 3 was nice but subtle.

RHellgren · 05-12-2011, 10:31 PM

Does this mean that we know for a fact that cars 2 wont be an exclusive?

Also, has anyone seen Priest yet and would care to leave a comment? The trailer looked awesome so I've hyped it up in my head for a while now.

seregloth · 05-12-2011, 10:40 PM

I don't think I'd ever heard of Cars 2 being an exclusive- Disney hasn't done any exclusive in a while. But it WILL be the first Pixar blu release, so hopefully Toy Stories and Up will follow.

I don't think Priest is out yet here in the US. Looks like fun but who knows.

RHellgren · 05-12-2011, 10:42 PM

I don't think it's out anywhere, just wondering if anyone saw it in 3D at the theaters.

But come to think of it, maybe it's not even out in the theaters yet, don't know for sure.

seregloth · 05-12-2011, 11:13 PM

Theaters is what I was referring to. Opens in the US tomorrow.

They seem to be very early release announcements as none of those movies have been released in theaters yet (Cars 2, Pirates 4, or Priest).
Thought it was cool to see them listed nevertheless

Cars 2 3D - Lots of glitches?

Hey has anyone else watched their new Cars 2 3D Bluray yet? And if so did you have any glitches where it would pause briefly and then start right backup?

Please let me know if you had any issues.
Thanks,
TJ

YES! But not only that.......

I went to BestBuy & picked up Cars 2 3D along with Toy Story 1,2,& 3 (All 3D Sets) and was rather surprised to find that the Cars 2 Blu Ray was full of issues.

Cars 2 stop paused at the end of each chapter & restarted at the beginning of the chapter causing me to need to FFW just past the point of the Glitch not to mention several other hick-ups with the disk..

Toy Story 1, 2,& 3
With that said I figured I had best check the Toy Story Trilogy (bought separate) to make sure they were OK before heading back to BestBuy to exchange Cars 2, it's now almost 2am and oddly I've found that Toy Story 1 was OK (just 1 small sound chirp early on) but Toy Story 2 had the same issue with 1 chapter resetting (when Woody's friends enter the toy store & He's getting repainted), as for Toy Story 3, It's a mess also? Again resetting & glitching constantly making it a chore to get past the part at the beginning with the flying pig scene (After the train falls from the bridge)..

I wonder if this was part of a bad batch? Having over 40 3D movies already I found myself updating firmware, checking wires, All my equipment is less than 30 days old. I even checked all of Disneys 3D Films released just to be sure, everything from Tron, & Tangled to newer Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, & Pirates ect....

So, curiously EVERY 3D Blu-ray but the ones bought today work perfect? I plan to show them at the store on their equipment before exchanging but have to wonder what happened?

If anyone else has issues I'd like to know... Feel like I was going crazy today

Currently running the Samsung 550 series 59" Plasma w/ Samsung BD-D6500 player. All Firmware updated.

I have Samsung BD-C5900 with the latest Firmware and have had no issue with the Toy Story discs. I have yet to watch Cars 2 aside from the opening and it played fine for me.

gblaue · 11-05-2011, 12:44 AM

My Oppo never stuttered or glitches, BUT it did not play the movie in 3D.. The top menu was in 3D, but not the movie. The tv thought it was 3D and the Oppo said it was 3D, but I think remember the previews with killer 3D. I could have watched the movie without the glasses, except for the top menu. Going to try my PS3 now.

LloydAZ · 11-02-2011, 09:55 PM

Just one scene during the big meeting of all the Lemons. The screen froze for about 30 seconds, then started up again. The rest of the disc was fine.

stamphead · 11-03-2011, 06:12 AM

I have the same issues and I have the same Samsung player as Waszak. Perhaps Samsung needs to release a new firmware update?
