So awesome. The inclusion Jack-Jack Attack can only mean The Incredibles isn't that far away.

Wait...why should I buy this when the releases of the movies should come with them?

Or are some only available on this disc?

While you're enjoying the Pixar short films, I'll be enjoying the Pixar short films and Heroes Season 1.

Fanboys are annoying on both sides of the fence.

you'll also be enjoying having a ton of money less to spend buying Heroes S1.

I think this is a cool idea, but not at that price. 34.98 msrp ='s 29.98 in stores, 24 to 27 on amazon. If it were the 29.98 msrp, get it for 20 on amazon, I think this'd be great

This is some of the best news I've heard today. I remember seeing the thread on AVS a few weeks ago, but got my hopes crushed when it turned out it would be a Region B release. Glad Disney is releasing it here. I enjoy their shorts more than some of their full-length movies.

Yeah, like the old kick azz Roger Rabbit shorts. I'm glad the Vista Series dvd put them all in there.

You can justify the lack of disireable content on one side of the format war however you want. Nonetheless, the fact is that there is good stuff coming out exclusively on each side, and being a fanboy to one side or the other means you're losing out.

I think you're going to see a dogpile of Pixar on this date.

And less than six months to the next one...fn.

I think only two of the shorts are from Pixar movies, one from The Incredibles and one, I think, from Monsters Inc. The rest are just shorts that don't have anything to do with their other movies. But I would think that those two shorts would be on the discs for the movies.
