Toy Story / Toy Story 2: The UK Releases

[Farid]

Only 3 weeks away... thinking about ordering them from the US or UK. Are the UK editions in any way changed from the US editions?

I know the International versions doesn't come with US flag and Star Spangled Banner theme in TS2, but how about voice changes?

I remember something about Wheezy's voice?

Hmm... I haven't heard anything about voice changes in any International versions.

Other than what you mentioned about the US flag on the TV, the releases are identical as far as I know.

The UK releases also arrive a week earlier than the US.

Am I imagining it, or did the US release of Toy Story 2 not have the outtakes playing over the end credits?

Cant wait to get my hands on these.. my son loves the Toy Story films and I have been holding out on buying them for him until the Blu's come out.

Like the ones invloving Barbie, I seem to remember.... They most definitely were, some of the funniest bits when I saw it in the cinema as a kid!

The one thing that is bewildering me with this is the extras.

Am i wrong in thinking that the previous DVD releases, such as the Toy Box DVD set, included LOTS of extras that are not here on these Blu releases?

Are the blus not going to be 2xBlu disc sets?

Are they holding out for the trilogy box, you think?

There is no reason why the Blu Ray won't hold all the old DVD features, Monsters Inc. did, and that was just a single disc release. Ratatouille and Cars were both pretty packed with extras and were both single disc releases.

There are supposed to be new Blu Ray exclusive features too.

Oh, and if you'd been reading the upcoming Disney releases thread, you would have seen my post that one of the voices is substituted. Ex CBBC presenter, Andy Peters did the voice of one of the baggage handlers in Toy Story 2 for the UK releases. Whether that will be on the UK Blu Ray remains to be seen.

monsters inc was a 2 disc release in the UK, I will preorder these 2 soon as I never had the dvds, has there been any releases from disney/pixar stating the full features list?

My mistake, I was thinking Monsters, Inc had been a single disc release, but you're right, it was a 2 disc release.

It still doesn't change the fact that there should be plenty of space to fit all the extra's from the DVD's on a single disc Blu Ray.

I agree

Dunno about other people but I would rather have a 2nd disc full of extras(or all on one disc) than a digital copy or dvd copy. The digital is useless to me as it wont work on my psp or phone so jst sits on my computer in the same room as my bluray player and tv, and the dvd just sits there as we have a bluray player in each room now...

I remember this part, it's when they are packing the plane and he says "Hold it! There's a couple more bags coming from the terminal" or something like that hehe.

That may well be the case. I remember when the movie came out, and he did a feature on it on some programme on Children's BBC - can't remember what it was, and they showed you him recording the voice. I thought it might have been done as a substitution - but apparently not.

I've never seen these movies in their original language (Just Dutch dubs.). So I dont care much for the change of voice actors.

I hope the full list of features and languages will be out soon, so I will still be in time to play my order and have these on day 1. I cant wait, my favorite Pixar movie will finally make it to Blu-ray.

[dirkblack]

I have orderd these from Blockbuster, I have some credit there, and they have informed me they are not out until the 15th, but i am sure they are out on the 8th.

I have checked their website, but there is no listing for them....Very odd.

This situation is a bit confusing and annoying to me.
Because... for animation-films, like these and the drawn ones from Disney, usually have audio-tracks in many languages.
And while I usually like films as original as possible, I might have a hard time changing
from the Dutch versions (I grew up with) to the original English versions.

But there's the thing, it would of course be great to have both languages on one disc.
However, there's usually only one track in HD, or like the main best quality track you know.
It was pretty much the same on the DVD-releases.

Now, here's where it kinda gets confusing:
Would each country have its own language in the main quality track?
Or would each country have the original audio in the main track?
OR, would only some countries like Germany have their own language as the primary one?
And then countries like The Netherlands have the English as the main one.
Cause around here they tend to keep it original, unless for these films they keeps the kids in mind...
ORRR would it be optional, like multiple versions to choose from? Which is doubtful...


On top of that, it's even more problematic for me.
Cause I tend to import from the UK, as BDs are much more affordable there.
And Disney-releases are already more pricey for some reason, so let alone buying it here.
I'd really like to have tracks for both the original and Dutch releases.
I lean towards having the original one as the primary one though and the Dutch one as an SD-track would be OK.
It's just that I'd like to hear them back some time, when I used to watch them on the Dutch VHSes.
And also, I must be honest, they were very well done and sometimes even better.
Just to give an example I can easily think of; 'A Bug's Life' was hilarious in Dutch,
however, very similarly done to the original when I switch between tracks on the DVD.
So for some it still might be easy to switch.
It's not that I can't understand English obviously, it's just the way it sounds. :P

Still, I'm wondering about how it will be put on the different BDs in specific though.

You still hoping they come with slipcovers then ?

Unfortunately, after 2 people saying they didnt get them (from 2 different retailers), it seems unlikely now.
