I am. Makes me want to buy a HD TV, PS3 and Meet the Robinsons on Blu-ray. Although, I don't know if I noticed the sagging in the middle. I'll have to watch it again.

Good review anyway. Look forward to more in the future and past ones that I still haven't read.
No signature needed - Kyoto Animation put out some beautiful animation

Did we ever establish conclusively what was happening with the local Ratatouille Blu-ray? Official site has it missing altogether, although nobody seems to have told EzyDVD. Anybody got any word from the inside?

No, I expect Ratatouille Blu-ray was delayed and will eventually show up in future release dates for next year.

Other new titles that went missing this year are:
Walt Disney's It's A Small World Of Fun Volumes 1 & 2
Walt Disney Treasures - Chronological Donald Volume 2
Walt Disney Treasures - Complete Pluto Volume 1

I was shopping today in Woolworths and made a discovery!

BVHE have released the various titles below with a slipcover and companion book!

Mulan
Robin Hood - Most Wanted Ediiton
Home on the Range
Tarzan (1 disc version)
Poohs Heffalump movie
The Tigger Movie
Brother Bear

I haven't purchased one yet and am not hoping for too much with the book as the total package retails for $12.87, but it will be interesting too see exactly what it is like.

Thanks Kirben. I notice on the BVHE site, they have stated the Aristocats is 2 disc. So the fact this has just been loaded onto their website is a good sign this will indeed by 2 discs for the Australian market. I guess time will tell!

Wow! Season 5 of "The Golden Girls" so fast!

I'm really looking forward to getting Season 4--which was released today. Hopefully some kindly "elf" might give it to me for Christmas, though I might just grab it myself.

Let's hope we also get seasons 6 and 7 next year!
I'm just valentine candy and boxing-gloves!

Well, no surprises that Ratatouille Blu has been pushed back two months, but at least it is still coming...
