The Australian Disney/Pixar Animation Blu-ray Thread

[joseph_m]

Same just picked mine up at JB! Although the back cover says it only has DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, the disc/menu says DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1!

Quickly looked at the Extras and Special Features.. everything seems to be the same as the US disc!

[joseph_m]

Sorry for the double post but thought it was worth making a new one!

Just got this tweet from Sanity:

Sanity Entertainment ‏@sanityonline: Blu-rays likely for Sept - Emperor's New Groove, Sword In The Stone, Lilo & Stitch, Oliver & Company & Robin Hood

For anyone who's interested, here the review I posted of Peter Pan on the website I review for:

It's not the most scholarly of reviews, but I dunno, someone might get a kick out of it.

And that's SO EXCITING about the September releases!!

Big W have 25% off Disney blu rays at the moment for those interested.

So does JB on selected titles I believe. I think they are even slightly cheaper on a few titles I was looking at...

Ok, I found some goodies:

https://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/...edition/674439

https://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/...edition/674438

https://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/...edition/675066

Brave is a real good buy. The cheapest I've ever seen, for the limited edition JB ex w/ the bonus disc, I remember purchasing it for $40 odd...

[Victurtle]

Monsters Inc 3D with the lenticular cover is $22- too

Aladdin Digital Copy is $33 too. I think I'll wait until its $20 though, even the expensive titles seem to drop to that price eventually.

Tarzan and Hercules coming out any time soon? I'm limiting myself to the Pixars and the 90's Disneys stuff but it's really tempting to collect the whole animated collection with all these sales on.

Tarzan is out in the UK. Hercules is not on Blu-ray anywhere yet.

I reckon by the end of 2014 we should have everything released on Blu with the exception of titles 6-11 imo. Hopefully a re-release of Dinosaur as well.

According to this thing: http://screen-print.net.au/buyguide4...d=21&mode=dist

Oliver and Company, Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood will be released alongside The Little Mermaid on September 11.

I hope there'll be news for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Lilo and Stitch, The Emperor's New Groove and Treasure Planet soon too. Perhaps alongside The Jungle Book.

I really hope there won't be a dry spell from June to September!

Coming from someone who owns every Disney Blu, I'm happy for them to have a dry spell!

[skyline_boy001]

BTW Disney Movie Plus have added Brother Bear and Atlantis for a Silver DMR token each. They're $15 each from JB atm. I'll probably hold off and wait till the BOGOF sale, that will eventually come.

True that!

[Victurtle]

Coming from someone who just bought their 3rd Monsters Inc blu, I need some new releases while I wait for the single disc Monsters Inc to hit the shelves =\

They were $18.97 at my local JB, was just there earlier today - checked the website and lo and behold, $14.24! I wonder why their pricing can be so inconsistent at times (this is in WA; I was in Sydney last week and there were regularly discrepancies of $5-$10 on some other titles between two nearby stores).

I believe JB is having a 25%-off sale on Disney at the moment. I guess that's reflected in the online store, but isn't reflected in the bricks and mortar shops until you get to the register

I redeemed some points on the Disney rewards site last night and added 2 movies to my cart for free, but instead of the postage being $2.20 like it was last time it was around $7.60? how come the increase, anyone else had this issues.
I decided to wait to today to redeem some more points and see how much to ship 4 items.

Wow, tried adding two blu's to my cart, and it came to the same price, then tried only one, still the same price.

Looks like they're charging parcel rates now and not letter, which is wrong (assuming they are being sent the same, in a padded envelope...

[sparkles]

If I add two Blu's to my cart I'm still getting the $2.20 postage option.

Weird, which 2 did you add?
I added a Gold and a Silver, I wonder if that has something to do with it?
I added peter pan and Brother Bear one being gold and one silver
