Back in March there was a rumor that Mickey and friends would be switching over from HD-DVD to Blu-ray. Now, exactly four months later it has happened. I don’t know if it was Minnie or Pluto’s doing but Disney has announced nine titles to be released, starting in the fall, on the Blu-ray disc, next generation high definition DVD format.

Beginning Sept. 19, Buena Vista Home Entertainment will release “Dinosaur” and “Eight Below,“ while Miramax Films’ “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” and “The Great Raid” also will be released. A second wave of movies will be available on Oct. 17, including Walt Disney Pictures’ “Glory Road” and “Haunted Mansion,“ Touchstone Pictures’ “Dark Water” and “Gone in Sixty Seconds” and Dimension Films’ “The Brothers Grimm.“ Most of the films will be available for $34.99.

Sony must have wished really, really hard on that star!
