I agree with best high-def studio, Disney is the top lead company to give us high end form of HD movies, in picture and sound.

Disney does NOT deserve best studio do to the fact that they CHARGE you for the digital copy of movies. This is a trend that better not catch on with other studios. The whole point behind digital copies is to try and stop people from illegally downloading the movies. If you include a digital copy, then someone might see it as a 2 for one and buy it. If it weren't for that, then yes, I can agree with them being the best studio....but that's a big thing to overlook.

It's hard to call best studio. Disney has done great transfers, but their UI just BITES. Universal's UI is consistent, but some of their transfers leave a lot to be desired.

I own many concert Bluray's, Justin Timberlake, Celine Dion, Shakira, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin etc..
And I can assure you that the best of them all, hands down in terms of PQ & AQ is Ricky Martin. He fails to even mention it, and goes on to say that Justin Timberlake was a notible mention's and I thought it was not very good at all. Obviously HDD totally forgot about the Ricky Martin Black and White Tour Blu-ray by not offering a review. Trust me Ken, Pop that baby in and you will love it.

I can't believe I agree completely with ken's picks. wall-e was a better film than panda. it's oscar best film material that transcends animation. never try to compare crap from dreamworks to pixar. pixar movies always pack a strong message and aren't clumsy. the best audio category should've been a tie though with wanted and Incredible hulk. great list in all. best studio is a given, what disney did with sleeping beauty is a testament to how they care and treat their classics.

BEST TRANSFER -- CATALOG TITLE:

How The West Was Won. Not even a runner up, are you serious?!?

I would have picked Transformers or Cloverfield over Wanted for best audio but other than that, good list.

Incredible Hulk sounded great as well but action scenes too often drowned out the dialogue just like the reviewer on this site said. I too had to constantly adjust the volume to compensate otherwise it too would have been right up there.
