The single-disc release will present the film with an anamorphic transfer at its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio and include the brand new animated short "Mater and the Ghostlight" as well as the Academy Award nominated short "One Man Band". Other extras will include a behind-the-scenes featurette entitled 'Inspiration For Cars', four deleted scenes, and a preview for Disney & Pixar's upcoming feature, Ratatouille. If anything else gets added to the release we'll be sure to let you know. We've attached our first look at the artwork below.<< 29.99 for a one-disc, ouch!

Originally Posted By JeffG I'd be surprised if there isn't a two disc set in the works. The video release tends to come faster these days (Disney used to release their summer animated film on video the following February) and I suspect there just wasn't enough time to get a more elaborate release together. I do hope they do the right thing and announce any deluxe edition before the standard one comes out, allowing people to make an informed choice. BTW, the suggested retail on Disney's DVDs is typically $29.95 for 1 disc and $39.95 for 2 disc sets. Hardly anyone actually charges that much, though. -Jeff

Originally Posted By mickeycanuck Still waiting for the often announced, often delayed Lilo and Stitch 2 disk to become available. From the first dvd of A Bug's Life, up to the Incredibles, the 2 disk Pixar dvds regularly provided us outsiders a wonderful glimpse inside the workings of the studio. Cars deserves a high bitrate transfer, a Lasseter commentary, a 45 minute minumum making of, all the online featurettes, the music videos, a tribute to Joe Ranftt... it needs to be on 2 disks! I can wait until next spring if they announce a deluxe edition before the November 1-disk arrives in the shops.

It was the largest simoultaneous digital projection ever done, and there were 30,000 people there. I know as a fact that they have a montage of the stars going around North Carolina in the week before the premiere that could easily be put on the DVD as is. Also, they got a lot of footage of the red carpet that could go in with little editing. Add in a few crowd shots, so I can find myself, and we're good to go!
