Why has Over the Hedge not been announced for blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

IMO, it was the best computer-animated cartoon of 2006 and it received "rave" reviews from critics and "users" alike so where is it? Thanks.

It's from a neutral studio (Paramount), so who knows?

Yeah, Paramount has been a little slow in releasing titles to HD.

BlackMamba · 01-26-2007, 02:41 PM

ok, thanks for the quick responses. It hasn't been announced for HD-DVD yet either so I'm not sure what Paramount's doing.

1.85 aspect ratio on HD DVD?

One of the dirty little secrets is that they are having bandwidth issues with HD DVD. 1.85 has 25% more pixels to compress than the 2.35 eye candy that has dominated the reviews for HD DVD.

Considering how successful and plentiful animation has been on BD, you'd think Paramount would be interested in getting Over The Hedge out on that.

^^yeah, especially with Open Season getting superb PQ reviews around the web and Over the Hedge being the widely considered "better movie", I hope they bring it to blu-ray soon.

In terms of story and execution, I think the number 1 animated movie of last year was Flushed Away, which is another Paramount distributed title. Second was Monster House.

Too bad that the Academy voters only nominated three in.

Can I just say how "ok-bad" it looks on my HDTV? Upscaled to 1080p too. It's as though they intentionally made it bad looking on DVD. There's something "weak" looking about it. Anyway, all that can be solved with a blu-Ray release, which still hasn't happened..

Yes even all this time, it's too bad cause I really like this one. I suppose it's only DVD for now
