Thinking about importing Dumbo... is it a standard Disney Blu-Ray? Is it deficient in any way compared to one purchased in the US/UK?

The Mexican one? We have no way to compare it to the U.S. release of course, but it has the same features as the UK one. The only difference between the Mexican and UK versions is the languages and the region coding.
I'd personally just wait, as there are a lot of Disney titles to tide you over between now and the end of the year. (With Dumbo supposedly being one of them)
Yeah, in total, you're only missing out on like 3 seconds of audio really but I'm a bit OCD about this and likewise, since they're vaulting it, it's going to be a while before you can get your hands on the movie again. I just called and got my request for a new one over the phone. Should be relatively pain-free. And about Finding Nemo, we're probably not getting that until late 2011-2012.FOOTE said:

Pretty sure JCoM isn't a Pixar movie, it's like some kind of joint film between Disney, Pixar, and one other studio. Or was that the Brad Bird earthquake movie? Either way, don't recall JCoM being a Pixar flick...?Morn said:

Thanks for the heads up! I just jumped on the Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 purchase that I'd been putting off. It is vitally important that I have HD hippo/ostrich ballet ready to go at a moment's notice.

I thought it was going to be released under Touchstone Pictures?

The problem with these companies is half way through releasing the films some "marketing whiz" will decide on a whole new design for the box and spine. That shit always gets on my nerves.

So glad they don't do that. I'm not OCD with my cases but that would bother me. Especially when there's so many movies that came out recently that I wouldn't have an interest in.

I think it's a Disney movie, they are "borrowing" Andrew Stanton from Pixar, and they're [I think?] releasing it under their Touchstone label because it'll be PG-13. I don't think you'll see the Pixar name on the poster like others have suggested, Pixar isn't actually doing anything other then lending out one of their directors.isny said:
I was right about the upgrade coupons. (Coupons are now live)
Incredibles $10 Upgrade Coupon
Cars $8 Upgrade Coupon
The Incredibles DVD: 786936244250
Cars Blu Ray Single Disc: 786936734041
Most stores will be selling The Incredibles at $29.99 and Cars for $24.99 for Blu Ray Combo Packs (Blu+ DVD). There is only one SKU of both of these being released on Tuesday (April 12th). Best Buy in the U.S. has both available for $24.99.
Some stores have a promotion running where if you buy both, you get $10 off. Therefore the cheapest you could conceivably get these two for would be $22 plus taxes total for both. (Plus any other coupons like the Target Bunny Munny, etc.)
Commonly asked questions:
Question: Is there anyway to use the coupon if I purchase these from Amazon?
Answer: Open up a chat window with an Amazon rep and ask. It's YMMV but others and I have had success multiple times with this method.
Question: Can I stack coupons?
Answer: YMMV

Is there any way to use this coupon on Amazon.com? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've never this reward program before. It says to print it out, so I'm assuming the answer is "no," but I just want to make sure.

The answer to your question was on the previous page, but I've included it in my post above for reference.

Whoops, apologies, sir. I didn't realize that my exact question had already been asked/answered. Thanks for taking the time to help, though. I appreciate it.
This fucking movie. I tell you. Holy shit
Man, I dunno. I really think that Tangled is the first time I can hold a CGI animated film in the same regard as, if not nearer than any other CGI animation before it, good old 2D animation.
I mean, fuck, how can a movie look this gorgeous?

50 inch Panny plasma~
Blu-Ray never looked better.
I dunno if it includes that Pioneer technology, though. Got it a couple of years ago.

To be fair, I'm living with my parents.
Although I do anticipate getting a 50" once I move out. I had a 20" busted CRT in my room until 2 years ago. Barely used it for anything outside of gaming, and I can't imagine going back to such a small screen.

Those Tangled screen-grabs look incredible! <3
As awesome as those Tangled pictures look, they still don't do the Blu-ray justice.
Since we're posting our collections, I'll round up mine and take a picture before I leave for work. Be warned though, it's going to be taken with my iPhone.
iPhone camera is awful. This is not how I normally display them, they were set like that only to take the picture.

I just got a new 55", but my parents are giving Tangled to my kids for Easter. Just a couple more weeks and I'll finally see it at home. Loved it in the theater.

Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Toy Story 3
Cars
Ratatouille
Up
A Bug's Life
Wall-E
Mater's Tall Tales
Monsters Inc.

Has anyone heard anything about a release of "The Little Mermaid". My wife asks me about 3 times a week when that is coming out on Blu-Ray and I can find the smallest shred of info.

Jesus, you guys are purchasing everything.
I know I won't. I'm seriously considering not getting Winnie the Pooh. I hated Tigger with a passion as a lad. The way they relished their ignorance... it was too much for me.
Also, I need that Ponyo sleeve. Suggestions?
