Great, but where's the blu-ray for Shrek the Third?

The Vendetta

Are all the features from the 2-disc DVD on the Blu-Ray?

HagenDarth

I love it when one post says "HD-DVD release cancelled..." and the next one says "blu-ray release announced!"
Hillarious...
Let's hope it doesn't takt the sting out of the movie

Paramount is on a rampaging stampede to announce so many BD titles today! WOW :D

Chris Gould

Blu-ray release announced!

Tom

HD DVD release cancelled...

Sounds like a very good DVD to purchase. The movie was okay the art cover for the one disc and two disc are very well balanced and the special features are good. Even someone might want to buy just the one disc hearing the special features.

Are you kidding? I love them. Way better than the poster art.

Why does everyone say the artwork is terrible. I love the artwork.

lee09

Paramount listened! Us (consumers) werent getting the hype on the Very Jerry 2 Disc Edition tagline, I know i wasnt. Specially with a constipated Jerry face slapped in the middle of the cover. Glad they removed it! Much better now!

that1guy

Yeah, Bee Movie is going to save the HD-DVD format now. :-)

Pixarfan517

I know a family friend that has a thing for music, animation, kid's movies and Dreamworks. If she gives me a free copy of the 2-Disc Edition for Bee Movie, I would BEE in heaven. After all, she wrote two songs for SHREK THE THIRD and invited me to the premiere for the movie and she is making a Shrek musical.

Well, I love the Pixar films. Pixar still makes great CGI animated movies. CARS and RATATOUILLE were pretty good.

FINDING NEMO IS WAY @$!%ING BETTER!!!! NEMO'S MUCH MORE AWESOME THAN BEE!!!! WTF, ARE YOU CRAZY? NEMO ROX!!!

Street

I would see this film if it came out on Blu-ray. But I have no intentions of giving it a view on DVD.

HagenDarth

Very Jerry...very terrible! they can't be serious about this name? can they...?

El Mariachi

well at least Jerry's not on the spine...

Maladroit

Haha.

Dizagaox

Well, Seinfield's in love with himself, so the cover follows suit.

lee09

Yes Sienfield's face and tagline need to GO! And also Gene Shalit.

Blue-Kal-El

How bad is this compared to Nemo (the worst Pixar IMO)?

That's what I thought... sounds stupid.

Nick402

They used that lame quote a second time AND put Jerry's face on the cover...could it be much worse?

Kyle Mertes

That 2-disc art and tagline are lame. Probably about as lame as the movie, too.

Pixarfan517

I am not a fan of Jerry Seinfield's face on the 2-Disc cover.

Dustin P,

the 2-disc cover art is just terrible...Jerry's face shouldn't be on there

Moviemaniack

Wow Jerry's face at the top is just embarrassing and stupid. Too bad it's only HD DVD though. They are dropping really badly right now.

Isn't it just! A VERY JERRY 2-DISC EDITION? What's that about?

horrorfan25

I don't know which movie I'll buy March 11. Either Nancy drew (doubt it) or this. But Awake's coming out the 4th.

DumpsterSide

Jerry's face on the top is embarrassing.

Of course it's another release of separate single-disc and 2-Disc releases designed to force people to pay nearly $7 more for actual bonus materials and even in some cases have to travel all over the damned state in order to get it. *Rolls eyes* It's time for this new trend to die.

Not that I want this c**p, but it still chaps my ass.

crazygmpoker

hopefully they switch the artwork when they do add the studio markings as Dustin P mentioned, this artwork is terrible

And you'd BEE wrong. I have not seen it either and it will BEE a cold day in Hell BEE-fore I do.

Partly BEE-cause it looked lame and partly BEE-cause I've reached my tolerance threshold for both Seinfeld and Zellweger.

coqui2k

I may BEE to only person who has not seen this movie.

Ryeth Banner

I enjoyed this one too. It was really funny, throughly entertaining and just a fun movie to watch. I'd recommend it as a rental.

Question: Ditto to Pixar Fan, where IS August Rush??

HagenDarth

I may BEE in a minority here

but I enjoyed the movie.

Dustin P,

I am assuming this cover art isn't final as there are no studio markings on it

Might check this out

Pixarfan517

There comes a time where Dreamworks finally loses its touch. Their only good movies are the first two SHREK films, all the WALLACE & GROMIT cartoons and CHICKEN RUN. SHARK TALE and MADAGASCAR were okay. Could've seen a lot worse. "Over the Hedge" and "Flushed Away" weren't that bad. BEE MOVIE was horrible and KUNG FU PANDA looks really awful.

manuel87

The movie was very very bad... cover art isnt impressive either.

beckmen

Well, I won't BEE renting or buying this movie. Good bye.

elle_driver

I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. Plus, by the time the movie came out, I wasn't really excited about seeing it because of all the "Bee Movie Juniors", and Jerry Seinfeld whoring himself out on any show that would take him...

As to the "Bee Movie is an A" quote, I didn't even need to see the credit because I instantly knew that it was Gene Shalit, how freakin' sad is that? He has to stop with the puns!!!

Stephen Etherton

Never saw it... kids want it... may buy it or let them catch it on the DVR. It just never really sold itself as a must-wanna-see movie for anyone I know.

Pixarfan517

I didn't hate "Bee Movie," but I didn't like it. I didn't think it was just as annoying as a Nickelodeon cartoon but this Jerry Seinfield's jokes for the movie were some of the worst to expect from a Winnie the Pooh joke. I personally perfer "Ratatouille" over "Bee Movie." I thought this was more like a C+.

Question: Where's August Rush?

lee09

That is the lamest quote I have ever read on a DVD cover! In that case Pete Hammond is a genius, even though I despise his quotes as well, he pulls something more compelling than this Gene Shalit guy.

Brandon

Not my cup of "honey." Bees = c**p, Rats = Oscar

affinitty89

Oh Gene Shalit. What will he think of next?

xChri5x

Bee movie is an A?

LOL

Edgeman05

Thanks for posting. I will pass on this tho.
