I didn't personally find A-113, but somebody told me it's in Muntz's ship at the end. I'm not sure where, though.
I just checked IMDb (probably should have done it before I posted) and A-113 is on the number of the court room.

This was released yesterday in Malta and I was there to watch it. Like Netty and a few others I'm not Pixar's biggest fan. I like their films, a lot, but I usually prefer the output from WDAS.

Don't have much time to write, but I genuinely had a great time watching it. It does seem like an adult film masquerading as a family film.

Which makes me wonder how on earth WDAS are supposed to "compete" with Pixar's "mature" and "deep" films when they're stuck doing fairytales.

Fairy Tales are almost always darker than Disney lets their adaptations be, if its not as dark that's their fault, not the source's.

I don't think many parents would've approved if Ariel died while Eric ends up in the hands of Ursula in the end of The Little Mermaid :D.
And it's of course not like Disney didn't try to make darker movies, but they failed so Disney reverted back to the often referred to as being sweeter fairy tales again.

It seems that Wal-Mart always has their prices about $5.00 cheaper than Best Buy.

Yeah, because they backed studios into a corner threatening to not carry their products if they don't let them sell them at that price. It's the number 2 reason why I don't shop at Wal Mart.

The number 1 reason? The people of Wal Mart.

I don't know about that. My local Wal-Mart has $30 blu-rays, close to what Best Buy would have.

But I do agree with you on Platinum and Special Editions. The Platinums and Special Editions are only $15 at my Wal-Mart compared to $20 at a Best Buy in another town.

Agreed. I'm having a hard time deciding if it's my favorite Pixar film or not, but it's definitely in my top 2. It's such an amazing film.

Does the Luxo lamp combo pack release the same day as the stand alone blu ray?

That's not being released anymore, The Luxo Company didn't give Disney the rights to do that.

Do you have a source for that? I know about the lawsuit, but those things take a while to go through, I didnt think it could affect it in time.

As of right now, Amazon.com doesn't carry it anymore and bestbuy.com doesn't have a listing for it, meaning it most likely won't appear in stores. The only retailer that I can find that is still selling it is disneystore.com. Perhaps the loophole was that Disney can only sell it if they sell it directly?
