Wow...bought and watched this last night. I had never seen it in the theatres. What a treat! Pixar just keeps knocking them out of the park. "The Incredibles" looks funny as hell too! Can't wait until next year.
btw...this is the best sounding disc I've heard in a loooong time. For those who thought The Lion King disc had great sound, wait 'till you throw this one in. Terrific use of the lfe channel, as well as side and rear surrounds. (Yep...this is the first disc I've watched that I noticed sound from my rears)
Two thumbs WAY up!

I agree. I saw this in the theater, it was my 2 yr old daughters first movie outside the house. She is a huge fan as well. I cannot wait to watch this with my new HT, when I actually decide what to purchase.

I will be getting a copy for the kids. They loved it in the theater. Should be fun at home too!

It's not really just a kids movie. I know Roger and I both really enjoyed it.
A couple of those lfe sections really got the entire floor rumbling in my apartment! (yep...with my little VTF-2)
Very cool!

I liked everything about this movie: the color, sound, story, characters. I love the Pixar style.
Dory's character practically stole the show and they couldn't have picked a better voice and personality than Ellen DeGeneres.
The under water scenes were wonderful. You almost feel like you are under there watching from the characters perspective. Almost hypnotic. I usually hate the use of the "surfer dude" cliche' in movies but they pulled it off very well with the laid back sea turtles.
There is some debate about what the gulls were saying: some think they were saying "mate" but I'm sure they were saying "mine".
The dentist's niece (I forget the characters name) looked an awful lot like Sid from Toy Story.
Yes, the sound is incredible! And I think on par with the Lion King but the Disney Enhanced Home Theater mix on the Lion King may have it beat by a small margin. None the less, two of the best examples of great surround sound mixes ever.
I live the life I love and I love the life I live.

yep...smashed all the records. I went to Best Buy to get my copy at 1pm. They were nearly sold out. The store was PACKED. (Very strange for a Tuesday afternoon). Everybody in line had a copy. Along with other purchases. The extra spill off sales is where they make their real money.

It was the best movie from Pixar. I'm not into cartoons but I had it on and when my son fell asleep in the middle i didn't want to turn it off. The color, the sound, the plot. It was great!!!!

well naturally the extended warranty is a must
you guys are right-on, Little Nemo sold 8 mil copies which passed Superman at 7 mil. I also think I heard that 90% of the copies sold were DVD.
