I finally received my review copy of Bolt (the day before its released, no less). I am very excited about this release. It is the first movie from Walt Disney Animation Studios that John Lasseter worked extensively on. This is one reason why I believe the movie was so great, but also was so similar to Toy Story (read my full review of Bolt here).Anyways, the Blu-ray is really great. It is a 3-disc set of two Blu-rays featuring the film and its features and a digital copy of the film, which are paired with a normal DVD which only has the movie on it. This is in line with Disney's newest generous gift (however selfish it may seem to be when you think about it) of offering a DVD of each film coupled with its Blu-ray release in an effort to boost the more expensive disc format's sales.
First off, let me say that the quality, as usual with Blu-ray, is stunning. The picture and sound quality truly blew me away. Now on to the exciting features!
The best feature, in my opinion, is the new short Super Rhino, featuring, yep, you guessed it: Rhino the Hamster! It is a very good short; although I am not surprised due to Lasseter's apparent brilliancy with past animated shorts...
Other features include deleted scenes, several different perspectives of the making of the movie, a music video, games, an art gallery, and more!
Other formats of Bolt being offered are: a 2-disc edition with most of the features mentioned above, although some of the last ones listed are Blu-ray only, and a single-disc DVD release featuring a couple of special features (including Super Rhino!!)
Well, now that you are all excited to get the new Bolt Blu-ray, I am going to give you a chance to get it right now!!
