Walt Disney Studios has announced their exciting Blu-ray options for 2009. Now consumers have greater accessibility and value than ever before. They are offering some great combo packs that include both Blu-ray and DVD discs. I think that is an excellent idea!
Here are a few of the Disney Blu-ray 2009 titles (I’ve included titles in which Disney is a parent also):
- High School Musical 3 (February 17, 2009)
- Pinocchio: 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition (March 10)
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Platinum Edition in October
- Swing Vote (Touchstone Pictures) on January 13
- Miracle At St. Anna (Touchstone Pictures) on February 10
- Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Walt Disney Pictures) on March 3
- Morning Light (Walt Disney Pictures) in summer of 2009
- Space Buddies (Walt Disney Pictures) on February 3
“These unique Combo Packs provide the opportunity for consumers around the world to take advantage of the quality of Blu-ray with the portability of a DVD disc in a single package,” comments Bob Chapek, President of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. “As always, we are committed to offering our consumers exceptional quality and value when purchasing our products.”
In addition to these titles, Walt Disney Studios North America will be packaging 14 of its hot new Blu-ray titles releasing in the U.S. and Canada with a DisneyFile digital copy of the movie for consumers to enjoy anytime, anywhere on their Mac, PC or compatible portable devices. Digital copies will be made available in both iTunes and Windows Media file formats and are set to be included with such titles as High School Musical 3: Senior Year, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Monsters Inc., and A Bugs Life.
As part of its continued worldwide Blu-ray release efforts, WDSHE is adding many exciting new titles to the line-up in North America, Europe and Asia. Titles include new theatrical releases, catalog, direct-to-video, top television series and some of America’s most requested movies.
