Disney seems to be delivering on its promise to release a lot of Blu-ray 3D titles this year. The studio just announced plans for four new titles, which will all hit shelves on November 8, 2011.
The new releases will be Bolt 3D, Meet The Robinsons 3D, Chicken Little 3D, and G-Force 3D. All four were previously announced, so there are no real surprises. A little bit of good news, however, is that each one will be sold as a Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack. Hopefully, this is the studio's new trend, since they seem to be releasing all of the Blu-ray 3D titles with the Blu-ray 3D disc, as well as a 2D Blu-ray, the standard-def DVD, and a Digital Copy inside each set.
Disney has yet to reveal any specs, special features, or even prices for each of the newly announced titles.
All four releases will come about a month after The Lion King: Diamond Edition and Beauty and the Beast both make their Blu-ray 3D debut on October 4. Both of those titles will carry an MSRP of $49.99. However, Amazon is taking pre-orders for $36.99 on the 5-disc Beauty and the Beast set, with the 4-disc Lion King set selling for $29.99. Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is wedged in between those two release dates, sailing onto store shelves on October 18. That 5-disc set also has the $49.99 MSRP, but Amazon is taking pre-orders for $31.99.
"In early January, Disney announced an aggressive plan to bring a wide variety of 3D content to consumers' in-home experiences," said Lori MacPherson, Disney's executive VP for Global Product Management. "These latest Disney Blu-ray 3D releases all deliver the most superior in-home 3D viewing capabilities, and by offering the films in Combo Packs, we are continuing to provide families with exceptional value, quality, and versatility in a single purchase."
None of the four titles are available for pre-order yet, but that should change pretty quickly. Stay tuned.
