First Transformers: Animated DVD News

Written by Big Bot on March 4, 2008 | Animated,DVD,News,Paramount |

The first details of Transformers: Animated being released on DVD have been revealed today. Surprisingly, they have come from Paramount Home Entertainment and not Warner Home Video, who own Cartoon Network.

The first releases is simply listed as being 70 minutes long in full screen with an English stereo audio track. The DVD is due for release in North America on 17th June. It is assumed that the disc will contain the animated special “Transform and Roll Out”.

We will attempt to find out more about this and other releases soon.

Paramount going Blu very soon

Written by Big Bot on January 9, 2008 | DVD,News,Paramount,Transformers movie (2007) |

Just continuing the rumours of Paramount switching over to Blu-ray is news from long running DVD site The Digital Bits, who have often predicted correctly future news.

Apparently, Paramount is preparing an announcement about switching away from HD DVD with Universal also in discussion. Paramount will release the films that were packaged and ready for retail, and this includes Transformers.

Well… we’ve had SOME confirmation this morning of the details of the Financial Times story from last night. While the studio isn’t yet commenting, reliable industry sources are telling us that Paramount is indeed preparing to end their HD-DVD support and announce a return to the Blu-ray fold. Details are currently being finalized, and an announcement is expected as soon as they’re complete. Paramount’s first new Blu-rays will almost certainly include many of those titles that were cancelled last year, but that were already packaged and ready for shipping, so you could see them in stores very quickly once the studio announces.

Meanwhile, sources are telling us that Universal has also been talking with the BDA, and is looking to follow Paramount and Warner’s lead as soon as possible.

Rumour: Paramount to go Blu-ray

Written by Big Bot on | DVD,Paramount,Transformers movie (2007) |

With Warner Bros. choosing a side in the format war, it seems that HD DVD could be dead within months. Last year, Paramount signed a deal with the HD DVD group to go exclusive, however, according to the Financial Times, there was a get out clause, which stated that if Warner went to Blu-ray, Paramount could move as well.

This is all good news for Transformers fans, as the film will eventually be released on Blu-ray.
