Default Dragon Hunters on Blu - now includes HD images.

I promised to keep you all updated about anything we were authoring on Blu Ray.

DRAGON HUNTERS the French animated feature that was put up for Academy Awards last year.

http://www.dragonhunters-themovie.com/indexuk.php

The movie has been encoded while menus are being designed, So I took it home on a BDR E this weekend, and both the Video and Audio are some of the highest quality I have seen to date ! and that includes all PIXAR titles.

I will have more info as we close on the release date late JUNE. I will also have some screen shots and menu shots soon for you all.....

This title had such an impact on me watching it this weekend, I watched some scenes nearly ten times in full DTS HD MA with hairs on my arms stood on end !!

This is my new reference title... even if we did author it ourselves...lol

You may not have heard of this title.... but you will have soon... i feel this will be a big release among BD fans.

Thanks for the heads up, I was considering the dvd but was reluctant because, yeah, it's a SD dvd and it'd be my luck to buy it 1 day before BD announcement. Even for SD it looks good.

I was watching this on the TVs at Wal-Mart the other day (I have no clue why it was on there, but it was pretty cool). I was wondering why I never heard of or have seen anything on this flick. I might look into it when it comes out.

The DVD was selling in a 2-pack at WM and selling quite good, I work in the electronics dept. so I notice this.

The film looks good, it was showing on the HD network that broadcasts in the department. Can't wait to pick it up.

The 2 pack is a dvd and a comic.
The HD Network that broadcasts in the dept in SD? Yeah it looked ok for that. They have a SD player box and a large component distribution network

Nah, ours is hooked up to a HD receiver, though we use componet cables not HDMI.

Don't know about the other stores though.

Hit the info button on one of the remotes and tell me the resolution, I think you'll find 720 x 480, SD.

Either way - broadcast HD looks poor compared to a good HDCAM SR.
Broadcast HD = too much compression for my liking.

just wait to you see this sucker moving !!
sorry for big images, but they are full 1920x1080 so you can see very bit of detail. These are representative of the final quality only and of course are compressed into jpg format.

Same here. I have never heard of this film until I saw the OP's thread and clicked on the link. MAN.....THIS LOOKS GORGEOUS!!! I agree...this looks better to me than Pixar animation. Thanks for the heads up OP. I will pick this up as soon as I see it on the shelf!!
