Toy Story 3 (Blu-ray)

This is from http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/41168/toy-story/ which was reviewed by Michael Zupan. Below was some of his opinions about this upcoming movie Toy Story 3.

VIDEO
The quality is as stunning as anyone would expect from a Disney/Pixar release, and as a matter of fact, Toy Story doesn't look like it could have been a film from 1995. Pop it in for yourself, and you'll see what I mean - This easily looks like it could have been a flick from 2009, it's that good. Colors are bold and leap off the screen, the textures are faithfully represented without any issue, black levels and contrast are the best they've ever looked, and depth and dimensionality are more impressive than I hoped they would have been. There were times I literally felt like I was watching real toys act out in front of me.

AUDIO
Disney/Pixar have outdone themselves with a flawless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. As I've already mentioned with the video quality, the presentation doesn't make this film seem like it was from 15 years ago at all. The sound design is a little simpler than the likes of the last few Disney/Pixar films, but it's still an impressive experience from beginning to end. Every voice and sound effect is presented through the sound field with pinpoint precision, and I was surprised that this was the case throughout the entirety of the movie, and not just some of the major sequences that would demand such performance. The bass is impressive and never overbearing, and dialogue is always easily heard no matter what crazy shenanigans are happening on- screen. When all is said and done, much like the film itself, this is something that every viewer at home no matter what age they are, will be able to enjoy. 

OVERALL
Toy Story is a timeless classic, and needless to say, it got the high-def release it deserved. This might be labeled as a mere 'Special Edition', but it seems like they could have called this the 'Definitive Edition', and no one would have complained. This is one of the easiest ratings I've had to give out in a while, as this is 100% deserving of the DVDTalk Collector Series rating.
========================================
Michael Zupan's review of Toy Story 3 makes this classic movie still to be comparably as good as the quality of our latest 3D animation movies.
