When was this commentary done? Is it new for the Bd release?

The commentary was on the DVD. It may date back to laserdisc.

Andrew Stanton talked about this issue at Wonder-Con during the Pixar Q&A. The eye design was actaully came about when he was at a Red Sox vs A's game in Oakland. He borrowed someone's binoculars and was screwing around with them and decided that the basic design would be perfect to show emotions.

He admitted that a lot of people have brought up the similarities for Johnny 5, and that he was not the inspiration for the design.

As for the price of $19.98... I'm already expecting a price correction to probably $29.98. It seems odd that Image would release a disc for that cheap already.

Los Locos kick your ass, Los Locos kick your face, Los Locos kick your balls into OUTER SPACE!!!

The 2nd one was pretty good. It was sad seeing him bleed battery acid, and then he went to the store and got all badass. Good times with the Short Circuit films. I love them both.

They should put both films onto one disc. Warner did it with the Dirty Dozen and its sequel. Why not here? There should be enough disc space.

They can't. Image owns the home video rights to Pt 1, Sony controls Short Circuit II.

Sweet is Police Academy next... maybe a Guttenberg trilogy?

Anyways, it was cool to see Ben Jabituya on Lost last night.

Wow. You know a lot about the realm of Short Circuit. Hee hee.

I remember digging this film when I was younger. I want Lady Hawk and Tron.

Tron... I would love Tron in High Definition. Hopefully now that the war is over, we will see an acceleration in the number of catalogue releases like this.

This is awesome. I was going to buy this on DVD a while back. Good thing I didn't. Now I will pick this up on blu-ray.
