Indeed - it takes the p*ss.

Ugly cover... I'd much more prefer this one:

Whenever we've brought up the issue of Disney's policy of staggering their releases outside the US (it seems the the UK is one of the biggest casualties), we effectively get shouted down, with people saying "why can't you just stop whinging and wait for three/four/however many months?"

We have been avoiding watching Disney/Pixar movies at the cinema and we just wait until we can get them as cheaply as possible on Blu-Ray, sometimes waiting until they hit the bargain bins.

Disney have been doing this for years and with the advent of Blu-Ray and with region-locking still being a big issue, their grip has tightened considerably and until region-free Blu-Ray players are commonplace, Disney will not reconsider their tyrannical position.

The 1-month (and 5 days) gap looks acceptable compared to last year's Up (an unbearable 5-month gap). In Toy Story 3's case, the gap might have something to do with the World Cup having a far bigger impact on theater attendance outside the US than it has in the US. If you check it out, Toy story 3 rolls out across most of Europe starting July 2010.

How does that not get a worldwide release??!Sorry my previous post was supposed to be a reply to yours but I accidentally added it as a separate post.

I wish they had gone for a different cover art..

It is very annoying the staggered release schedule Disney employ in the UK/IRE, I recently purchased a lot in the HMV BOGOF sale. Look forward to adding more titles in the future, decent price permitting.

I don't use the Digital Copies either, but the 3-Disc of this will look nice next to my Race to Witch Mountain and Up supersets. Plus, it was only £2 more.
