Awesome quality, great movie, and a digital HD copy to boot. PS--If you haven't seen this, the two fight scenes in this film are AWESOME!

What can I say? Weird 80's hilarity and teen angst at its finest!
Also, great Blu-Ray quality, and the fact that it has a digital copy means I was able to put it on my Vudu account. A+++

PS-I've always loved the Mr. Peabody shorts as a child, and this movie puts a whole new twist on such a beloved classic. I highly recommend this!

Decent picture quality considering when it was first made, and the fact that it has a digital copy means I was able to put it on my Vudu account via a linked Disneymoviesanywhere account. A+++

Great Blu-Ray quality, and the fact that it has a digital copy means I was able to put it on my Vudu account via a linked Disneymoviesanywhere account. Also, they apparently re-did this with more vivid coloration and more clarity, because it was rather eye-popping! A+++

Reliable and Fast!

I use it in...:Small home
I bought this to use my new Chromebook and even when I'm on the other side of the house I get some pretty amazing speeds. In addition, hooking it up to my wireless printer was as easy as pressing one button on the router, one button on the printer, and having each computer search for the printer. Simple and fast. I highly recommend it and, yes, the dual band 5GHZ speed helps tremendously! Don't settle for 2.4!

Decent, but not perfect

Although I love superhero movies, and have been a big fan of Spider-man since I was a little kid, after seeing the original trilogy, I have found that this new Spider-man reboot is lacking in the personality department. In the original series, as goofy as he was, you sort of had an attachment to Tobey McGuire and really felt like you were in his shoes and could feel what he was feeling. Whereas with Andrew Garfield, I just didn't get that. Although yes, I got the feeling like he was an outcast and an isolated and frustrated teenager, I just didn't connect with the way he communicated. He was almost too distant, and as a writer I know how important it is to connect with the primary character in order to get a reader fully immersed in the story line. I feel the same technique needs to apply with movies as well.
However, aside from that, I did enjoy the plot as well as the fighting scenes and such, which more than made up for Garfield's lack of screen presence. Therefore, I am going to give it 4 stars.
PS--As with anything, if you have a way to get the Blu-Ray, just DO it. The graphics differences from one format to the next are phenomenal, especially with the right television set that can do 1080p and 24 frames.

Holiday Inn, directed by Mark Sandrich and starring Bring Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Marjorie Reynolds, did not have a very distinguished history on home video until this release. The laserdisc and original two-movie-on-one DVD release (paired with Going My Way), were both based on an old, grainy transfer off of a fairly clean but otherwise rather flat looking 35mm print, and had no special features whatsoever. This 2006 Special Edition DVD, by contrast, is special indeed, with a crystaline transfer off of what look like preservation-quality materials, which yield a full-screen (1.33-to-1) image infinitely sharper and cleaner than any previously seen on this movie in a home viewing format. The sound has also been significantly improved, with far less compression and a lot finer detail than one could previously hear from this movie. And that's just the beginning -- the picture also comes with a commentary track by Ken Barnes, who worked with Crosby and Astaire late in their careers and does a marvelous job (take it from someone who did a commentary track of his own for this same movie, for broadcast by WNET-Channel 13 in New York) of ranging across the music, the performers, composer Irving Berlin, and most everyone else involved in the production of Holiday Inn. He's lively, engaging, and a lot of fun to listen to, and one only wishes that Warner Bros. would have gotten Barnes or someone like him to perform a similar function on some of the Astaire and/or Berlin musicals that they got as part of Ted Turner's MGM library. There are also a pair of documentaries featuring Barnes, focusing on Crosby and Astaire and also on the strange parallels between their careers at various points; and on the history and technical development of the movie musical across the 1930's and early 1940's, which affords the producers a chance to dip into some of the highlights of the early Paramount library. The only thing that might have been added was something more on the director, Mark Sandrich, who was a major producer/director at Paramount and before that at RKO, and who had a lot to do with bringing this project off as well as it came out (and who died tragically young in 1946). The movie and all of the extras are easily accessible in a very simple two-layer menu and also offers a look at the trailer for the film. The whole package is a delight, and one can only hope the Universal will make a similarly ambitious effort with the follow-up movie to this, Blue Skies (1946).

A True Classic
on April 13, 2013
Posted by: brighteyes70s
from Palm Coast, FL
Not that upping this to Blu-Ray would make much difference due to the overall age of the film, but it sure would be nice to see it.
However, even though it is still in an old-school format, if you have a blu-ray player that is capable of upping the resolution of standard DVDs, then you're in for a treat because then it becomes a truly great experience. The plot has always been fantastic--a once-show-business performer who opens up an Inn just on the holidays. It has humor, romance, music, dancing, and everything else you would expect from a Holiday Classic.
What's great about it: The great theme and the music
What's not so great: It's not on Blu-Ray!

The Best Animated Film of All-Time
on April 13, 2013
Posted by: brighteyes70s
from Palm Coast, FL
This, in my opinion, is one of the best animated films of all-time, and I am shocked it took so long to come on Blu-Ray. The Blu-Ray format is how this film was meant to be shown, hopefully along with a television that does 1080P and 24 frames. Watching it in this mode is beyond eye candy. Add that to the overly hilarious wit of Ellen Degeneres and the great plot, and you have a recipe for success.
