'Monsters, Inc.' Coming to Blu-ray 3D!

To contact us Click HERE

This news has gone rather unnoticed, but it looks like Pixar's 2001 hit Monsters, Inc. will be arriving in the Blu-ray 3D format sometime soon, although we have no idea when exactly this will be.
Amazon has a 5-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition listed for pre-order, and Disney Movie Shop has also put up an offer which will save you $8 on your purchase of this Blu-ray combo pack. However, both sites claim that this release is "coming soon", but neither one states a fixed release date. I guess we can expect this to be out sometime after Monsters, Inc. 3D has hit theaters, likely around January. One thing's for certain though, the Blu-ray 3D of the film will be out by February 18, 2013, which is the date that Disney Movie Shop's offer expires.
No word on whether or not this pack will come with new bonus features or not, but chances are that it won't, but Pixar could always pleasantly surprise us.
I do not yet own Monsters, Inc. on Blu-ray, so I'll hopefully be able to pick up this release. Be sure to also check out A113Animation's review of Monsters, Inc. in 3D, it'll give you an idea of what to look forward to in the classic comedy's re-release.

Mater Stars in Holiday TV Spot for Disneyland

As Christmas looms ever closer, everyone is beginning to get into the holiday spirit, including the Disneyland Resort. This new TV spot released earlier this month stars Cars' Mater posing as Santa Claus while being pulled by his team of reindeer - no, tractors...reintractors, as he flies over some of the newest parts the resort, including Cars Land, while he sings his own rendition of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland".

It's a nice little commercial, it sure makes me want to visit Anaheim; I know for a fact that Disneyland is gorgeous at Christmastime, this TV spot gives you just a small lick of everything that's in store.
Expect to see a new seasonal logo up on the blog soon! Christmas is just around the corner...

Monsters University Teaser Posters Hit Web!

To contact us Click HERE

The faces of millions of Pixar fanatics lit up like Christmas trees yesterday when the first teaser posters for the upcoming Monsters University showed up.
Above is the domestic teaser poster, a simplistic yet wonderful poster which, as A113Animation points out, "harkens back to the poster for the 2001 original". Below you can take a look at the equally marvelous international poster, which gives us a nice sneak peek at Mike and Sulley's dorm room at MU, as well as their rough, competitive relationship with each other as rivals.

Pixar always puts millions of little details into everything they do, and these posters are no exception. Look no further than the textbooks Mike is standing on for evidence of this, and if you look closely on the international poster, you'll see that the time on the alarm clock is 1:13 AM...
Monsters University, the anticipated prequel to Pixar's hit comedy Monsters, Inc. hits theaters in 202 days, but in the meantime, you can catch the original film in theaters (this time in 3D, of course) later on this month!

Finding Nemo Swims Onto Blu-ray!

To contact us Click HERE

Just when you thought your Christmas wishlist was complete, one of the most beloved animated films of all time arrives on Blu-ray in glorious high-definition.
If you watched Finding Nemo 3D in theaters back in September and were left dumbfounded, bewildered, and just plain bamboozled, then I suggest purchasing the new Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray of the film, which just so happens to include the 3D version of the film. If you're not that big on 3D but still love the film and would delight in owning it on Blu-ray, there's also the regular Collector's Edition.
This is a must-have for any Pixar fan, and for film fans in general. It's been said countless times before, but Finding Nemo is one beautiful-looking movie, so just imagine seeing that movie with pristine video quality and unbelievable audio.
Feel free to check out my review of Nemo's 3D re-release, and if you're planning on buying the film on Blu-ray, Disney Movie Rewards has a coupon which will save you $5 on your purchase, which is valid until the 19th of this month (though only in the US and Canada).
Speaking of December 19th, Monsters, Inc. 3D hits theaters in just 15 days, and the Nemo Blu-ray comes with a free movie admission to see it! Disney and Pixar released this TV spot today:


Finding Nemo is now available to own on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D (hooray)!

Pete Docter 'Mind' Film Gets Title - Unconfirmed

To contact us Click HERE

Pixar has announced so many upcoming projects lately that I'm starting to lose track of how many films they have in store for us. However, out of all their upcoming projects, Pete Docter's film that delves into the world of the human mind intrigues me the most. The film is yet to be given a title, but Bleeding Cool reports that the film is in fact called The Inside Out.


Bredon Connelly writes:
"We've now heard that the film is on the verge of getting an official title and that title is almost certainly going to be 'The Inside Out'. That title hasn't yet been cleared, but it's the one Pixar wants. Barring any problems with getting the name okayed, we can probably expect it to be announced soon." 


Following Pixar's tradition of giving their films simple yet powerful titles, this title really excites me and makes me even more eager to find out more about this film. There are endless possibilities when crafting a movie about the human mind, even more so than there are when crafting one about monsters, I'd say. This is likely both a blessing and a curse for Docter and the Pixar crew; if the sky is the limit, where do you begin?
Hopefully Pixar decides to stick with this title, I quite like it. Look forward to an official announcement from the studio!

Channing Tatum is PEOPLE Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive

To contact us Click HERE


YES -- I was right!  Channing Tatum is PEOPLE Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive!  In last week's PEOPLE Magazine post I invited readers to speculate who would be the Chosen One, and suggestions ranged widely,  from Hugh Jackman to Alex O'Loughlina to Usher.  A couple of days ago I was at CVS, and saw something that put a smile on my face:


Finally, the wait is over, and the rumors are true:  it's Channing Tatum.  I quickly grabbed the magazine and spent a leisurely couple of hours after the kids went to bed, leafing through the magazine.  Trust me, it's a great way to unwind!



Channing Tatum isn't the only eye candy inside PEOPLE Magazine's pages.  The issue is full of gorgeous guys.  I really love the "Sexy At Every Age" spread, showing that a gorgeous guy is a gorgeous guy, whether he's 20 or 30 or 40 or 50. I'm grateful for the 40s and 50s section so I don't have to feel like a total cougar or a perv!


As I leafed through the pages I found myself swooning over the cutest guy of all-- Reese Witherspoon's new son Tennessee!  PEOPLE Magazine's celebrity baby photo section is one of my favorites, and it's one section I never skip.


Another of my favorite sections are the stories of every day heroes overcoming hardships or making a difference in their community.  This issue features Lauren Scruggs, a 24 year-old blogger who's bravely adjusting to a new normal after losing her left hand and eye -- and nearly her life -- in a propeller accident.  Her story is so inspiring, and it's stories like these that make me want to open up PEOPLE Magazine and read it from cover to cover.  Well, her and Magic Mike.
