'Ratatouille' Coming Soon to Blu-ray Disc

Apparently, the Buena Vista film, 'Wild Hogs' features a trailer for the upcoming release of Pixar's wonderful film, 'Ratatouille.' According to 'The Man Room' website, there is no announced date but it is pretty likely that the Blu-ray version will see release day and date with the DVD version around the holidays.

I've seen this film twice and though it isn't among Pixar's top box office performers, it shines where it counts. It is their artistic masterpiece.

UPDATE: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced that Ratatouille will make it's Blu-ray debut November 6, day-and-date with the standard-def DVD version, the Blu-ray edition of 'Ratatouille' will boast a 1080p transfer in the film's original 2.40:1 aspect ratio and uncompressed PCM 5.1 audio (at 48kHz/24-bit).

From High Def Digest:

Hollywood in Hi-Def has the early details, quoting a Disney exec as saying the studio plans to debut "Cars," the first-ever Pixar release on high-def November 6.

The Blu-ray version is expected to include all of the same supplements as the standard-def DVD release (which hit stores last fall), plus two new extras, exclusive to the Blu-ray edition. In addition to a new deleted scene, "Traffic," the 'Cars' Blu-ray is also set to feature a BD-Java enhanced "Car Finder," which will allow users to search for the more than 200 different cars featured in the movie, and even "race the clock" to find a specific car in a frozen frame of film.
The 'Cars' Blu-ray was originally expected to debut this past June, but the studio eventually delayed those plans, citing additional involvement from Pixar.
Disney has not officially confirmed the November 6 street date for 'Cars,' but as they have already announced, the studio does plan to offer demos of the 'Cars' Blu-ray and its bonus features during their eighteen-city road show that begins in August. So the signs definitely look good that 'Cars' will finally be revving up on Blu-ray this holiday season.

Common sense says "no," unless you are in the HD DVD forum that is... .

I would get my movie reviews from a better source. Your friend must be oblivious to the art of well-crafted animation and storytelling.

Ratatouille recieved overwhelmingly positive notices from both critics and the movie-going public. The creative people in the animation industry have called it nothing short of a masterpiece.

According to feedback at Rotten Tomatoes:

Good... I believe we are seeing a Dr Kain mutiny!
