FINALLY! Finding Nemo Blu-ray Release Date Set

After a legendarily long wait—over four years, if you're counting—Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment at last announced an official, fixed release date for Finding Nemo on Blu-ray Disc this hour.

The Pixar classic, directed by Andrew Stanton (prior to his Barsoomian exile), will be making its hi-def Blu-ray debut on December 4, about three months after its theatrical 3-D rerelease, opening September 14.

Nemo will be available in a 5-Disc Blu-ray 3D Ultimate Collector’s Edition (2 Blu-ray 2D + 1 Blu-ray 3D + 1 DVD + 1 Digital Copy) and a 3-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack (2 Blu-ray 2D + 1 DVD), as well as on iTunes and other digital platforms.

The Blu-ray editions will feature 'a host of interactive bonus features including 3D/2D Virtual Aquariums, a Filmmaker Roundtable, and more,' according to the press release.

Along with Walt Disney's Cinderella (going on sale October 2), this is one of my most anticipated Blu-ray releases of the year.

When will it be available for pre-order at Amazon? Nice cover artwork by the way.

Oh! It already is. Sorry for not checking before commenting. We could use a link, Mike.

As long as the majority of the DVD extras from the original 2 disc release are still intact, that'll be all that matters for me.

Mainly because I want the screensaver-y menu backgrounds they had on there in HD.

I still have an active pre-order on Amazon UK from 2009.

Finally! I'm more excited about this than even a new film this year - save Brave. Nemo is one of Pixars best on every level. I look forward to adding this to my blu-ray collection. :)

The funny thing is, I can't "Find Nemo" on the cover of the ultimate collector's cover!
