Disney Movies

On August 21st, Disney releases 5 enchanting titles on Blu-ray:

  • THE RESCUERS: 35th Anniversary Ed & THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER – 2 Movie Collection
  • THE ARISTOCATS: Special Edition
  • LADY AND THE TRAMP II: Scamp’s Adventure – Special Edition
  • POCAHONTAS & POCAHONTAS II: Journey to a New World – 2 Movie Collection
  • THE TIGGER MOVIE: Bounce-a-RRRific Special Edition

I received all of them to watch and review. I’m looking forward to sharing The Aristocats and The Rescuers with Eva. She’s a big fan of Pocahontas and hasn’t see Pocahontas II. I never saw The Rescuers Down Under and I think that Eva will like Lady and the Tramp II. I’ll post about all the movies eventually when we get a chance to watch all of them however, so far we’ve only watched The Tigger Movie. We already had it but not on Bluray. On Bluray there are a bunch of fun special features including a feature that comes on when you pause the movie.

Here are some clips from each of the movies. Continue reading For the Animal Lovers: Mice, Cats, Dogs, Adventure & Tigger, too- all on Blu! →

Blu-ray Review: The Lorax

The Lorax on DVD and Blu-ray

The Lorax comes out on Blu-ray today. We saw this movie at the theater with Eva and she really enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty cute and fun and stayed true to the heart of Dr. Seuss’ vision for the book. We had been reading the book to Eva every night for a week leading up to the release of the movie and she got into it and looked forward to the reading o the book. Now she can enjoy the movie again and again on Blu-ray.

We received a 2D copy of the movie to review. The movie is even more fun on Blu-ray. I watched many of the special features like EXPEDITION TO TRUFFULA VALLEY. This feature allows you to tour the valley and learn more about the inhabitants like the Bar-ba-loots and the Lorax and more. Each character has a bio page and a couple of videos including a drawing session with a story animator. That is a great feature for kids who are artists.

There are also three nice mini movies. I watched all of these and they were cute. What is also nice is that there is an explanation of why these mini movies were created. I just love seeing these behind the scenes features because I learn so much more about the movie and the reasons behind the creative decisions.

The movie is a nice addition to your collection and the extra features are fun. I haven’t explored everything yet but what I have seen I was impressed with. I’ve attached the official press release and a video about the movie. DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX will arrive on Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (both sets featuring DVD, Digital Copy and UltraViolet™) on August 7, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
