As expected, Disney is releasing a high-definition, Blu-ray DVD version of “Cars” on Nov. 6, according to the International Movie Database.
Disney’s Blu-ray site reveals the DVD will contain what is termed as a “Cine-Explore”
interactive feature, in which director John Lasseter provides behind-the-scenes footage on the movie’s making.
There’s also a “Car-Finder” feature, to interact with 217 characters that appear in the film.
A never-before-seen deleted scene, “Traffic School,” will be included. There also are a number of Radiator Springs featurettes.
The other special features that were in the original DVD release also will be in the Blu-ray version.
You can go to the Disney Blu-ray site to get a better idea of how these complex features work. The site has a “Buy Now” button, which takes you to a page that says you can call a toll-free number to order. However, a Disney sales associate that I called said this is wrong and that the DVD cannot be ordered at this time.
The associate was kind enough to inform me, however, that the “Cars” Blu-ray will have a suggested retail price of $34.99. Of course, the final price will vary from retailer to retailer.
Blu-ray DVDs require a high-definition player and hi-def television for viewing. Standard televisions and DVD players cannot play a Blu-ray disc.
