Wow, this is great news that they will be rereleasing Toy Story 2 by the end of the year! I was not expecting it this early but I am surely not complaining. I guess they are cranking out these DVDs this year because there is no major release for them until 2006! Can't wait!!!

Where do you see that Toy Story 2 will be released this year? I think it is only the first Toy Story being released for its 10th Anniversary.

Just imagine that the only way you can come to the forum is to enter through the front page.

(or you can set a bookmark to the Front page...much easier)

WOO-HOO! Go Pixar!

I wonder though, if after CARS is released..would there be an ULTIMATE PIXAR SET? Cuz that'd be awesome.

I'm excited to hear about their new features in the works!
Toy Story 2 is one of my favourites! I'm very excited about it's release.

and maybe they will make an awesome detailed box and make it available for those who already have some of the DVDs like the LOTR extended edition

Not to sound obvious but Disney will miss Pixar.

Oh yes...

who needs the Ultimate Toy Box now, both Toy Story movies at the end of the year. Plus Cinderella... and Lilo and Stitch, what a terrific year for Disney dvd's.

And it looks like Iger may be able to fix things. Hope a new deal will be made.

that's true..but it's still a pretty nice set to own.

Woo-hoo for 2-Disc though!

"may be possible"

Let's hope it is possible! That'd be great!

It's good for me as I didn't have a DVD players when the UTB came out. Both are now on my wish list.

*crosses fingers* Let's hope for the best, ja?

I really can't think of a better arrangement for either company than if Pixar was to continue with Disney. Mind you, a parting would hurt Disney far more than it would Pixar, but I still think Disney is the best distributor for Pixar.

I hope so!

Would be great.....

Minos · Post by **Minos** » Fri May 06, 2005 4:20 pm

I couldn't imagine either company with out each other, I hope they come to an agreement soon. I have thought that ever since I heard that Disney was thinking of doing Toy Story 3 without Pixar. I hope that changes.
