The Prestige (2006) was the first one technically. But it was just part of Nolans Collection. So yes, I consider The Incredibles (2004) as the first catalog by Disney.

Yeah but it had a single standalone release outside of Nolan’s Collection. So technically, The Prestige is the first Disney 4K UHD title.

Technically, yes. But apart from having their logo on the cover they had nothing to do with it.

It's not the format's main feature.

Would they have to re-render anything or would this be the same render that they used for the BD?

Heh, I can understand your scepticism Ray but when you consider that most people who blather on about "real 4K" are probably sitting 10ft away from a 50" (or smaller) TV then I'd say testing on a 32" pro monitor on a test bench isn't too far off the mark. But they'd have projection facilities and whatnot at Pixar so I think they'll have done everything necessary to make the difference in their tests.

This might be the first thing I upgrade from bluray.

[Dailyan]

I've been putting off getting the Blu, this will be a great addition in my minuscule 4K collection.

Finally a freaking catalog title from Disney.

Incredibles had a hugely active Dolby Surround EX mix theatrically. I would not be surprised in the least if Bird/Pixar had Skywalker remix it into Atmos like Incredibles 2 will be.

I am going to throw this out there now and mark your calender's to prove me wrong, this will be in HDR10+

Still following the same pattern as the rest, mind you: they've got a sequel to shill, might as well get in there with a cash-in. That said, Disney didn't bother with the previous Cars or Pirates or Guardians of the Galaxy/MCU in general movies to go with their other releases, nor did they release TFA or Rogue One to go with Last Jedi, so even this small step is something to be VERY thankful for despite the snarky start to this post.

People can dream about a White Christmas all they want, but if this is a sign that Disney are finally getting a bit more confident about UHD catalogue releases (even if just as a sequel/reboot tie-in) then we could be getting some awesome stuff on UHD in time for the Holiday season.

I'm dreaming of a Winter Soldier (just like the one I bought before).

The average distance people work/view a computer monitor is 20-40 inches, let's average that to 30 inches.

If you have a 70 inch 4k display and sit 10 feet away, your ability to resolve 4k is less than someone sitting from a 32 inch display at average distances.

To fully appreciate 4k, you need to be closer than 4feet with a 30 inch monitor.
To fully appreciate 4k, you need to be closer than 9 feet two inches with a 70 inch display.

You can do all the math on paper you want but not doesn't always tell the entire story or even the truths.

I'll tell you a quick story.

Stacey Spears of spectracal shared a story with us back in late 2016 regarding film grain on the early 4k movies. According to Stacy, the film makers in post were adding grain to the image but didn't think it was enough so they kept adding more. The problem was that they were doing this on small monitor and the grain wasn't very visible (dispite sitting close during grading). When they later viewed the content on a larger consumer TV, they realized they put too much grain into the picture. They now keep a larger consumer TV on hand to double check these issues. But i stil betting the above mentioned person was looking at 4k on a 32" monitor. So don't always assume that sitting closer to a smaller TV is the same as larger TV and being farther back.

Future proofing also is a factor as tvs are getting larger and larger and exposing more flaws in the picture.

Probably next year with 4’s release, I could see them selling all three of them as a bundle instead of individual though.

Man, I hope Disney and Amazon get their sh""t together cause I don't feel like driving an hour to my BB to pick this up or wait a month or two to trickle down to Amazon like COCO.

And Disney’s only getting bigger with Fox coming inside the castle moat.
What will Amazon try next?

Personally I'd like to finally have 'The Incredibles' in 3D
