Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 3D Blu-ray (2009) [Region Free] - Blu-ray Forum

Sony officially announced "Cloudy" for general retail release starting June 22nd. I checked our stock system at the Best Buy where I work, and it showed that we already have stock in transit. It is listed as $39.99 Suggested List Price in the press release, but it already shows as $34.99 regular price at Best Buy with a current sale price of $29.99. Not bad for the first 3D title sold separately. I was expecting a lot higher price tag. $39 is the MSRP on most Disney combo packs. So it seems studios will be charging around a $5 premium for full 3-D releases, and will include a 2-D version as well.

Here's the Press release below...

I'll get this if it comes with a nice slipcover and it ever drops to $15, oh and it has to include the 2D version as well.

All 3-D films are required to be backwards compatible with 2-d players. And as it says in the press release, they are also including the 2-d version. As for $15, I doubt it...the original 2-D version never went below $20.

It did somewhere, cuz I wouldn't have it if it didn't....and I do.

Yay, the 3D releases begin!

I am kind of curious but was there ever a direct PQ comparison for Monsters vs Aliens from the 3D disc viewed in 2D with the previous 2D release?

Propellarhead9 · 06-09-2010, 11:18 PM

I plan to buy this as soon as I can. I had been holding off on buying it because I figured it wouldn't take long to get released.

Do you have a 3D setup yet?

Jimmy Smith · 06-09-2010, 11:53 PM

Yessssssssssssssssssss

Finally a proper 3D release. Ive been extremely frustrated with the way studios have been implementing 3D releases. As of now all three releases Monsters vs Aliens, Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Coraline have all been exclusive to a hardware brand and all three drop the extra features found on the 2D disc. Hell Monsters vs Aliens even went as far as to drop the 2D discs lossless audio track. A seriously stupid move if there ever was one. Even Disney's A Christmas Carol only offers 3D in an overpriced set that makes 3D fans buy 3 discs they don't need. Separatly encoding 3D and 2D versions makes about as much sense as separately encoding 1080i and 1080p versions. Since 1080p discs can easily be downconverted to 1080i it makes no sense to do so and its the same for 3D

This is a 3D release the way it should be done. General retail at a fair price +1. 2D and 3D versions on the same disc instead of needlessly encoded twice +1. Lossless audio +1. Extras from the 2D disc plus some ported over+1. Sony has finally given us an example of how 3D releases should be done.

Hopefully Dreamworks will follow Sony's example with How to Train Your Dragon. Fingers crossed.

At first it didn't make sense why anyone would want to do it...but one of my filmmaker friends explained it to me recently...

If you have 2 2-D images, that make a 3-D image (especially in computer animation) you will have 2 different compositions for each left and right image. Presenting only one of those images makes composition a little lopsided for left or right eye imagery, and therefore when computer animated titles are presented, they are usually rendered 3 times. 2 times for each eye in 3-D, and a third time in 2-d using only one eye view, usually centered between the two.

Also in 2-d films which are converted, (Such as Alice in Wonderland) both eye views are altered from the original 2-D image. When things are re-mapped inward or outward, edge smoothing and image enlargements and reductions take place which impact the original frame. So you are getting 2 altered frames. Most people think they just present the original frame, and then create the depth with the second one, but it's just not the case.

As far as compression goes, Blu-ray holds more than enough space/bandwidth to support 2 images at once without a large drop in quantity...but as we all know, a higher bit rate can improve things at times, therefore, if the 2-D image is on a separate disc (like it is with Christmas Carol) you are getting the best 2-D and the best 3-D by separating the discs.

On films shorter than 90 minutes or so (and presented on a BD-50) a single disc holding both versions should be more than sufficient.

There is also a third reason to offer seperate encodes, but it is minor. Samsung and Panasonic 3D television automatically recognize 3-D content and automatically start playing it as such. If the 3D mode is switched off in the Television, but the player is still delivering a 3D signal, TV settings can be disabled. For example: The Panasonic 3D TV's cannot use the THX mode when downconverting a 3D film to 2D. Also, Samsung and LG limit the video/picture settings on their 3D TV's when playing 3D content (even when the 3D content is being downcoverted to 2D by the TV.)

3D Blu-Ray can support peak bitrates 50% higher then 2D Blu-Rays can support. 2D Blu-Ray limits the disc to 40 mps while 3D Blu-Rays allow you to go up to 60. A Christmas Carol is less then 2 hours and 2.35 (meaning vertical resolution is reduced 25% from full 1080p) therefore there is no reason they can't max out the bitrate from both 2D and 3D versions without needing two discs. Especially since Monsters vs Aliens 3D has an average bitrate less then 30 mps yet preserves all the detail and quality of the 2D Blu-Ray.

Check my above post...but also, the press release says a 2-D version will also be included. It does not say whether it will be the same encode.

This means it could be one of the following release types:
A.) A 1-disc release with the 3-D version, which allows the Blu-ray spec to throw away one eye and present the other.
B.) A 1-disc release with the 2-D and 3-D as separate encodes. Example, 2-D version takes up 20GB, the 3-D takes up 30GB.
C.) Or, a 2-Disc version that presents the same 2-D disc as the second disc, and a separate 3-D disc that contains the new version. (Unlikely, since it says "the disc will also include" instead of "discs")

I personally believe this release will be type "B."

Oh my bad. The lowest I remember seeing it was $19.99 during release week, unless you count coupons or something. I'm sure someone's gotten a good deal here or there though!

That's probably when I bought it from Amazon. Less than $20 non-the-less.

I stand corrected!

I looked this up...
"A new video codec was developed, based on the Advanced Video Codec (AVC, also known as H.264), called Multi-View Codec (MVC). Blu-ray 3D uses MVC video encoding, which provides for very high picture quality with an overhead (versus standard Blu-ray) of 50%. While the peak bit rate for standard Blu-ray movies is 40 Mb/s, the peak bit rate for Blu-ray 3D is 60 Mb/s."

Blu-ray supports higher peak transfer rates! But the other reasons to encode in 2-D still stand.

If it was version B there would be no room for those extras would they? Also the press release seems to strongly suggest one disc. Im really hoping this is a version A release

Let me quote the Blu-Ray.com review of Monsters vs Aliens 3D.

"As to the basics first, fine detail holds up incredibly well -- looking as good as the 2D version, in fact -- throughout"

That should answer your question

Kory · 06-10-2010, 01:31 AM

I wonder if all 3-D releases will come in a clear case with blue BD logo like that? It looks pretty cool.

u_nick · 06-10-2010, 02:34 AM

Great news. I had been holding off on picking this up in anticipation for a 3D release. Happy to see it's finally so close. I will more than likely be getting a 3D tv later in the year, hopefully around OCtober/November. So I'll have this waiting for me when I do, and get to finally enjoy the 2D copy in the mean time.

I'll rebuy Monster House because I love it and try to watch each Halloween now.

Open Season I was back and forth on for the longest time. Almost bought it a few times, but never went through with it. I just might wait for a price drop on this one and finally add it to the collection.
