Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment came to New York City this week, bringing a sack full of their most anticipated Blu-ray releases for the fourth quarter of 2010. Disney’s A Christmas Carol has been much-vaunted as the studio’s first Blu-ray 3D, and it will take advantage of much of what the format has to offer. In addition to preserving the breathtaking visuals (many of which have absolutely nothing to do with Charles Dickens’ novella, by the way), the disc will offer some truly cutting-edge bonus features.
Not just the movie but the menus will be in 3D, as well what could be the first-ever 3D “making of” bonus feature, “Mr. Scrooge’s Wild Ride,” covering what it took to make the film. The Blu-ray will also offer an amazing Bonus View option that will put the unaltered live-action motion-capture footage of Jim Carrey and others on screen as picture-in-picture while the movie plays. And as an extra on top of the extra, director Robert Zemeckis, who has become more reclusive of late, will be providing a commentary specific to the picture-in-picture content.
In keeping with the theme and timing of the release, the Blu-ray set will include an interactive Advent calendar with a surprise for each day leading up to December 25th. Six deleted scenes, a standard-definition DVD (with two featurettes not on the Blu-ray) and Digital Copy to round out the set. Disney’s A Christmas Carol arrives on Blu-ray 3D November 16, at a suggested price of $49.99 for the four-disc combo pack (Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy.)
