Glad someone thought to check that site! Slight correction to your post: the standard DVD you call a 2-Disc will actually just be a single-disc. Extremely pleased this isn't getting the <i>Cars</i>/<i>Ratatouille</i> shaft on DVD.

It is.

Just to be clear here, as for DVD releases, there will be a single disc DVD release as well as a 3-Disc DVD release on November 18th?

Yes. Although the 3-Disk is essentially 2-Disk (the 3rd is just a digital copy, not more bonus features or anything.)

This would be a wonderful opportunity for Disney to cough up a release of both Cars and Ratatouille in 2 disc formats...I still hold hope that they will deliver and riding on the back of a recent Pixar hit would be the perfect time...
I just cant believe for a second John Lasseter would have been satisfied with such a lacklustre release of CARS on DVD...same goes with Brad Bird on Ratatouille for that matter. I dont know about you guys but Im getting a little bit tired of hearing the term..."soccer mom demographic" its old..its stale and other studios dont seem to be too swayed by it.

Hmm as I seem to recall (and no offence to soccer mums) this was the same demographic that was responsible for the Foolscreen fiasco of the much coveted live action classics because it took a full five years for them to work out ..."what the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen were."
Nevertheless, a lot of my relatives ARE soccer moms and most of them are film savvy and to be honest from what Ive seen most of the playstation kids demographic can navigate there way around a DVD menu far better than I!

Being able to rip Blu-Rays, I have little interest in DRM-infested digital copies. So I'll probably go with the 2-disc edition, unless the 3-disc has some kind of pointlessly extravagent packaging that intersts me.

Nice to see Pixar moving back towards DVD releases that are worth buying; I can't wait to watch this one with the commentary.

That is still wonderful news. After we got shafted on the Cars and Ratatouille releases with one measly disc, it's good to know that we will finally get a substantial DVD release for Wall-E.

I'm so freaking happy to hear that we'll actually get more than a 1-Disc release! I'll be picking up the 3-Disc DVD release! Let's hope they'll do the same for Cars and Ratatouille!

Do you ever read the rest of the posts before you decide to comment ? All over this thread people are talking about how it is getting a single and triple (2+digital copy) edition on DVD... and then you post randomly in the middle to say that it has a cute cover... but won't be getting a 2 disc release.

To clarify to you... It WILL be getting a 2 disc DVD release (3 if you include that digital copy) and that has been announced officially. Please at least read through the thread before you post things that have already been answered multiple times. I can't help but feel like sometimes you just make posts to boost your numbers.

And here is cover art for the 3 Disc DVD

I really HATE the "Digital Copy" trend...

If I wanted to watch it on a computer or portable device, I'd rip it... As long as I am watching a copy that I bought, and not giving it to friends or selling it, I don't consider it piracy.

The cover art looks a bit crowded, especially with all of the 3-disc/digital copy/etc. stuff...

Count me as another one who likes that French cover...

Why do us collectors always get the bad art? :roll:
The "DISNEY FILE DIGITAL COPY" and "3-DISC SPECIAL EDITION" titles together are larger than the title "WALL-E" itself!
Blu-ray.com wrote:WALL-E's Tour of the Universe - Join WALL-E on his own private tour of the Universe through the World-Wide Telescope, narrated by Auto-Pilot.
Narrated by a voice with absolutely no emotion at all? They couldn't have gotten John Ratzenburg to do it? It must have been so hard to type into MacTalk and just record that.

If Australia is getting the same DVD covers... I might go for the 1-disc version. Despite the ugly cover - it's the less evil of the two.

edit: scrap that! I'll make my parents buy me a ps3 for finishing school and get the 2-disc blu-ray version :)

Oh my God, stop complaining about the covers. It's what's inside that really matters.

Wow, talk about a metaphor for life.

I can even explain how excited I am that this film is getting a decent DVD release. I will definitely be picking up the 3-Disc DVD come November.

lol. I'm going to be spending more time looking at the cover when its not in the DVD/BD player than the movie itself. I want my covers to look as nice as possible! I already know whats inside and am very pleased, so now all the focus is on its packaging which is half the deal (or else I could buy a digital copy of it).

I wonder if the word "dvd" is going replace "book" in the "don't judge a..." phrase. :lol:

Some covers needs to be complain (Like the Enchanted cover) but I don't think there should be complains about the WALL-E cover,it's pretty and creative,unlike the cheap Enchanted covers,and thought it's only the cover you still buy it.
And some covers are pretty (Like Sleeping Beauty,The Nightmare Before Christmas,101 Dalmatians,The Little Mermaid,Ariel's Beginning,WALL-E,TinkerBell and more) but some are cheap (Enchanted and maybe Prince Caspian too,I think WALL-E has a pretty cover.

I just saw the film and I was blown away! I wasn't expecting much after being disappointed with "Ratatouille" but it exceeded all of my expectations. Best film of the year, most definitely.

Btw, was I just imagining or was there a "Bolt" reference in the film? One of the toys Wall-E puts in his container looks a lot like Bolt :? .

I take it back, Wall-e is only an average cover. It makes no sense why Wall-e, a beautiful artistic film, would get mediocre art. Like I said, would it be so hard to get a Pixar artist to do it?

I think it was Bolt! At first I just didn't conclude it was because it was brown, but it probably is just dust and was originally white like Bolt's fur.

Woah I came in way late.

Uh, so let's see...TM2-Megatron, God controls how everything goes, made the laws and controls the laws. We have free will but it's still all to how God decided things should go, that we would have free will and do what we do with it.

Everyone has souls and free will and what you choose to do and how you become shows your personality. You start showing off your personality from day one, every single thing you do, every way that you do it. I didn't say that it's like mothers saying their children are special, because everyone has a soul, not everyone is gifted in the sense you were speaking of.

We and our experiences and thinking proves God exists because without God we couldn't exist.

I know you have your bad experiences and met bad people and this makes you turn towards robots and no God. That as you think and type you don't realize how amazing it is you can, well that's your problem.

And yes, I'm much happier knowing I will continue to be happy forever. It's hard to be happy, in the moment, thinking all of it will end and there's no point to having been happy once somewhere in time.

And I'd love to believe the universe is full of all these great undiscovered things, and I'm sure it is, I'd love to see some of those things, but it's us humans here on Earth that are teh best ever. Nothing has reached us, our level. And no robots are going to. Oh sure, maybe on the surface someday they will be great imitations. But no robots will be authentic soul-filled humans.

But you and me agree on one thing...the cover with Wall-E and Eve on the bench is a million times better than the covers we're getting in the U.S. It is so superior it's just undeniable.

EDIT:If you have been reading this TM2-Megatron/Disney Duster discussion, there is hope for you who believe we are more than what TM2-Megatron has been saying. Look for the bold, blue edit in one of my posts in this thread, on page 18.
