Looking forward to Narnia - does Disney produce good BDs? - Blu-ray Forum

Cinemaddict · 01-29-2008, 04:07 AM

I'm a die-hard Narnia fan, and I can't wait for "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" Blu-Ray. It's coming out in May, in time for the "Prince Caspian" release.

What I'd like to know is, does Disney have a good reputation for Blu-Ray Discs?

The best. Period.

miokti · 01-29-2008, 04:10 AM

Ratatouille is highly rated in terms of PQ and AQ, so are all the Pirates... also, Disney likes to put a lot of interactivity, being a front-runner in BD+ content.

richterbon23 · 01-29-2008, 04:12 AM

disney is easily the best so far. the job they did with older movies like the rock and con air were top notch along with perfect releases of cars and ratatouille which is still the best movie i have seen yet pq wise

BLU for Blue · 01-29-2008, 04:19 AM

I thought Narnia would come out with Prince Caspian in November...guess not...Earlier, the better...Narnia will be siccckkk in BLU....I own Cars, Ratatouille, Meet the Robinsons, Pirates 1-3, and Chicken Little..Top 8 movies I have. Unfortunaltly I have to admit, Transformers looks the best to me even being HD dvd

lol disney has probably THE best PQ and AQ blu ray movies out there right now. cars, ratatouie, ALL the pirates movies...its the movies i use to showcase what blu ray is all about

JasonS · 01-29-2008, 04:31 AM

I would say Disney is right up there close to number 1. Only other studio I could say has amazing PQ on *most* of their releases is Fox. They have been knocking all of theirs out of the park recently as well. I also cannot wait to own Narnia on Blu-ray.

I just showed by GFs Dad an A-B comparison of the Pirates 1 DVD and then the Blu-ray. He was pretty impressed. So was I for that matter! Disney puts out the BEST BDs!

(btw, this is the best smiley ever!)

Has a release date been set yet? I heard rumors of May but some people in this thread are spouting off like it has been set. That would be great.

Not an exact date. Just sometime in May:
http://www.narniaweb.com/news.asp?id=1386&dl=14809410

Prince Caspian hits theaters May 16. So, I think it's same to assume the LWW BD will be released before then. Probably May 5 or 12.

owa · 02-04-2008, 03:01 PM

I hope the May date is correct. After seeing the preview during the Superbowl last night, I'm anxious to see Prince Caspian.

I hope they develop the characters more though. I liked the first movie overall but I never really got attached to the characters (like I did when reading the books).

ground chuck · 02-04-2008, 03:10 PM

disney at the fore front of blu-ray. throw in pixar and you've got a juggernaut.

coolmilo · 02-04-2008, 03:16 PM

I saw the demo for Narnia and Nemo at the Sony Store (latest demo Blu-ray I guess). Anyway, these two movies looked sic. Narnia will not disappoint and I bet it will receive 5/5 PQ/AQ reference. Nemo will too but that will be the topic of another thread.

davidPS3 · 02-04-2008, 03:21 PM

You can't go wrong with a disney release, they are the best out there.

DetroitSportsFan · 02-04-2008, 03:58 PM

Disney does great work on Blu. No worries here.

camper · 02-04-2008, 04:12 PM

Disney is hard to beat on Blu, they're consistently the highest quality releases I've seen. Heck, even their Standard DVD's beat most other studio's in quality (compare Cinderella to Fox's Simpsons, and it looks like the Simpsons had an intentally lowered resolution to encourage its release on Blu).

Narnia would look astounding, I can't wait. Same for the National Treasure films, I'm getting both of those too.

Anyone know what cut it is? Extended or Theatrical.
