This review is not for the movie itself but for the price of this Blu-ray. Over 41 dollars!? Are they insane? No movie should cost more than $20; and with so many DVD's these days being bargain priced at $10, this film is way overpriced. As if the company is ashamed to ask for so much $$$, they've even included a label that reads "a $74 dollar value"? Really? How is that possible when all I want is the movie? I could care less for the 3D glasses or the extra special features or the on-line bonus material or the digicopy disc. Does anybody really care about all that stuff? Doesn't 90% of the population just want the movie and maybe a decent documentary to go with it? Does Pixar really think so little of its fans that it thinks it can pull the wool over our heads like this?
I had planned on completing my Pixar collection on Blu-Ray since the transfers look fantastic but now I have to reconsider. We are currently in a recession and I don't have the extra money for this. Of course, this begs the question, why? Why does Pixar have to charge so much extra for their movies? Surely, a popular title like Up will be mass produced to sell a bazillion copies, therefore allowing for more economic pricing. Could it be that the greed that sank the Disney Corp. after "The Lion King" topped the box office has now affected Pixar? Has Pixar succumb to its own success? I prayed the day wouldn't come. I was a HUGE Disney fan, to the point of near religious devotion, before the company sold their heart and soul (Cinderella 2, anyone?) for a cheap buck. Please, John Lasseter, give us reasonable pricing and try to remember what made your company special in the first place---caring more about the art and less about the money. Does money have to corrupt everything? Don't make the same mistake as Disney.
