Finding Nemo Blu-ray delayed until 2009

Pixar's Finding Nemo will be released on the high-definition Blu-ray disc format sometime in 2009 (presumably spring) not this coming fall, as had been previously expected, according to the website Blu-ray.com.

Also of note, Disney/Pixar will be releasing WALL-E on Blu-ray this fall, at the same time as the DVD release. Simultaneously, another one of Pixar's films will be released in the format; which one is not yet known.

On this last point, it can't be Toy Story or Toy Story 2. Both films will be given theatrical re-releases (in 3-D presentation) in 2009 and 2010, respectively. A Blu-ray release would make no financial or marketing sense. So that leaves only A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and The Incredibles as release candidates. I suspect it'll be The Incredibles. You?

Update: No such release for 2008 with WALL-E. See here.

I was really looking forward to Finding Nemo on Blu-ray. Why was it delayed? One of the top 10 reasons I purchased my 1080p HD TV was to watch Finding Nemo on HD!

C'mon Pixar!

Where is the Blu-ray?

Apart from Ratatouille, why are the best Pixar films being held back? No Incredibles, no Toy Story II? Pretty frustrating.

Ok, its late summer, and still no Finding Nemo on Blu Ray. Awww Pixar, you make me sad.

Delayed AGAIN until 2010. Hopefully it will actually come out then. Typical - the only Disney Blu-Ray I really want to come out keeps getting delayed...

Can't wait for Finding Nemo on Blu-ray. What is the new release date since 2009 only has 28 more days.

Allegedly May 1 2010, but after so many delays, don't hold your breath.

I can't believe this movie, one of the best movies from Disney EVER is not out on blu-ray yet. It makes me so sad. I have been waiting for this one for a long time.

I too can not believe they haven't released Finding Nemo on Blu-Ray... I mean come on... with all those vibrant colors... Finding Nemo would quite possibly be the best candidate for Blu-Ray. So why is it taking so long? and why no real date set yet? I know it doesn't mean much but Pixar/Disney are losing cool points on this one.

maybe they are working on a 3d version for the blu ray? finding nemo would seem like a prime candidate.

Does anyone know any information on when Incredibles might be released on blu-ray?
