Finding Nemo Blu-ray Is Finally Here!

Finding Nemo Blu-ray CoverThe Pixar blu-ray library is now officially complete! Finding Nemo, the last of Pixar's feature films to be ported to the high-definition blu-ray format is available to own today. The best-selling DVD of all time is undoubtedly worth the wait. This well-received Pixar classic was originally released to theaters in May 2003 and has been available on DVD since that fall.

Earlier this year, Finding Nemo made its way back into theaters with an additional dimension to show off. The 3D re-release may carry some of the blame for the long wait.

Finding Nemo is available on Amazon in both a 3-disc 2D combo pack, and a 5-disc 3D combo pack.

UP on 3D Blu-ray, Available Today!

UP 3D Blu-ray CoverAfter a long wait, and several bad guesses and false release dates, UP is now available to own in 3D. UP was Pixar's first film released in theaters in 3D in may 2009, and has been available on Blu-ray in 2D only since November 2009. But the 3 year wait is now over. UP and Finding Nemo (also on blu-ray today) are the top most-suited-for-3D Pixar films on my list, followed closely by WALL•E, but I'll just have to be patient for that one.

UP in 3D is available on Amazon in a 5 disc combo pack.
