Charlie Brown Is Coming To Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

blu-mike · 07-14-2009, 08:52 PM

Warner Home Video has announced a Blu-ray release of A Charlie Brown Christmas for the 6th October. The disc will retail at around $29.99. The extra material has yet to be revealed I'm afraid, although we expect the disc to include A Christmas Miracle: The Making of a Charlie Brown Christmas featurette, and the bonus special "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown".

I just don't know what to say, especially since this is another example of animation style restricting just how much HD can do...

Maybe I'll get it, I'll wait for reviews.

Thats way too much money for a 25 minute film.

I think it would be cool to see something like this that isn't INTERLACED... I am kinda hoping that these titles like How the Grinch and Charlie Brown are not interlaced like all the DVDs are. It is really annoying.

That is my main reason I'd love to see Watership Down released on BD.

If they release these interlaced as bad as the economy is that person who made the choice needs let go.

Sweet.

I learned to dance from watching Charlie Brown.

Mr.White · 07-14-2009, 09:36 PM

Warner Bros?, Charlie Brown is on Paramount,well at least I thought so.

bookcase · 07-14-2009, 09:43 PM

That pricing structure is ridiculous.

You're in Love Charlie Brown (1967)

It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown (1969)

A Charlie Brown Christmas, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and You're In Love, Charlie Brown are available on other Warner Home Video DVDs; Charlie Brown's All-Stars was released on a Paramount DVD, which is now out of print; and He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown and It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown have never been released on DVD before in the United States.

The box set will also include a documentary about jazz musician Vince Guaraldi, who composed the music for the first 14 Peanuts TV specials (including all the ones in this set). This documentary is titled The Maestro of Menlo Park — Profiling Composer Vince Guaraldi, and will feature contributions from David Guaraldi (Vince's son) and pianist George Winston, among others

This is one I will be getting, I am sure the price will drop before it comes out.

DetroitSportsFan · 07-14-2009, 10:16 PM

The price is going to have to come down for me to get it.

Blu-Jawa · 07-14-2009, 10:38 PM

I bet a BD can Hold Every Show of Charlie Brown and still have space for Extra's.

were these recorded on film? and will it be "Anamorphic 16x9"? or will it be like the "Star Trek TOS" 4:3 P&S

4Dblu · 07-14-2009, 10:58 PM

for $30 they better include - Charlie Brown Holloween & Thankgiving specials.
hell, where's "the year without a santa claus" and the rest of the puppet capers...

E_I · 07-14-2009, 11:33 PM

The price is too high, and besides, would this look really all that better in hidef? The drawings for the characters and backgrounds are very simple.

The Big Blue · 07-15-2009, 03:15 AM

I'll ***** about the price right up till the moment I buy it on Oct 6.

Same here. Not happy about the price, but I don't think I will be able to resist.

Sgt Barone · 07-15-2009, 11:15 AM

Best TV special ever. Dude, i want this!

To each their own, but, at least for me, upgrading to blu for animation isn't about seeing more detail. Simple art or complex art, the blu should offer better color and a much sharper image. Of course, better audio as well and this soundtrack is one of my absolute favorites.

I definitely agree with everyone on the price being too high on this though. I'm sure it will still sell moderately well, but I'd think it would be flying off shelves with the inclusion of at least a couple other shorts (Great Pumpkin especially)

sfmarine · 07-15-2009, 03:15 PM

I'll be buying this up!
