Is it the Del Toro one?

Edit: OK that picture wasn't there before when I was commenting.

YES, phenomenal movie.

[BigDmo531]

Hell yeah. I love the art

[MifuneFan]

This is a really excellent film. Incredible stop-motion work. I got to see the film in theater with directors GDT and Mark Gustafson in person, which was such a cool experience. I wrote about that here if you want to read about it.

[PNguyen]

I predicted this perfectly

[Ruined]

Ill be impressed if they pull off that inner digibook given the state of manufacturing quality today

[Bubbles-11]

Pre-order should be around $49.99 UHD when it goes up at retailers, likely $24.99 in November when the 50% off sales go up on B&N/Amazon PM

[infiniteCR]

Oh wow. Never thought this was coming. Looking forward to it.

[eightslicesofpie]

Hell yes

[HeckYourUp]

I expect this will most likely get a UK release, but really excited this finally got announced.

[Monterey Jack]

Another movie plucked from the jaws of the streamers.

[manzoman96]

Cannot wait, will be picking up for sure.

[SP77]

Was hoping this would happen, very excited

[DanTheMan]

Very nice surprise. And so soon after the Netflix release too.

[bookcase]

Awesome! I can't wait to get this.

[puddy77]

I am very excited for this disc!

Here's a good interview with the cinematographer, Frank Passingham: https://beforesandafters.com/2022/12...p-motion-film/

And here's an excerpt about the HDR grade compared to the theatrical.

b&a: I just wanted to say one quick thing. I’m so glad I saw this film on a big screen. It was really powerful. I’m curious now to check it out on my TV also.

Frank Passingham: Okay, well, you will notice there’s going to be a little difference. I was talking to Guillermo about, did he want anything different in terms of the color grade for the streaming version? He said, ‘I want it exactly like the theatrical release.’ I said, ‘Look, can I try one thing?’

With HDR you’ve got fantastic latitude. So one of the things I wanted to show him was to go in and take the HDR, say when the Wood Sprite appears to Pinocchio in the workshop after he’s built Pinocchio, I wanted her to really glow a lot more just because I was able to do it easily.

So, there are just two changes. You’ll notice that the Wood Sprite, both in that workshop sequence and then on the seashore towards the end of the movie, we just glow up the Wood Sprite a bit more. I showed it to Guillermo he said, ‘Yeah, it’s great, let’s go with that.’

I've been waiting for this! I knew it was coming, just didn't know when!

[DariusTheBluRayGuy]

This film was my favorite animated feature film of last year and I’m super stoked that the film is getting a 4K Criterion!

[Doomhunter]

Solid film, though I would have tweaked the ending. I have a blu ray but will definitely pick up the 4k. If Criterion is releasing a 4k of this though, then where the heck is Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs on 4k?

I bet on Fantastic Mr. Fox coming out next year in 4K.
