As computer-animated feature films continue to dominate the box office, the film that started it all is set to get a lavish, two-disc DVD upgrade. Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition will be available Sept. 6 from Walt Disney Home Entertainment and Pixar Animation Studios.
The new DVD release utilizes advanced video technology that provides a higher digital bit rate than the original presentation. In fact, it will have the highest bit rate of all Disney/Pixar films on DVD to date, according to Disney. In addition, seven-time Academy Award winner Gary Rydstrom has amped up the audio to Dolby Surround-sound 5.1 EX Mix.
Extra features on the 10th anniversary disc will include an all-new look at the impact Toy Story has had on the field of animation and pop culture, featuring interviews with the movie’s original voice cast and dozens of other industry leaders. There will also be an all-new roundtable discussion with the key Pixar creatives including director John Lasseter and writers Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton and Joe Ranft. Rounding out the list of bonus materials are featurettes on the film’s design and animation, early animation tests, a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, interactive games, music videos, filmmaker audio commentaries, production tours and a sneak peek at the upcoming Disney/Pixar feature, Cars, also directed by Lasseter.
The Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition will carry a suggested retail price of $29.99.
