P<\/span>ixar is at it again with the pristine additions of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on high-def Blu-ray this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Pixar\u2019s at it again. Whether you\u2019re looking for razor-sharp demo material as a custom installer or a good reason to sit through some high-def animation with your children, Pixar has always come through with its standard-def and Blu-ray releases. This week is no exception, as we get both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 sequel on Blu-ray for the first time.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see all of the details of Andy\u2019s room and his toys in high-definition, along with the enveloping surround sound. No, the Toy Story movies aren\u2019t in super-wide 2.35:1 format like some more recent Pixar Blu-rays such as Wall-E and A Bug\u2019s Life, but those of you with traditional 16:9 screens (especially projection screens) should still have a blast taking in the game-changing animation of the 1995 original and its 1999 sequel.<\/p>\n

For a more recent children\u2019s-oriented theatrical release, Fantastic Mr. Fox arrives on Blu-ray format as well this week. Unlike Pixar you don\u2019t get the voice talent of John Ratzenberger (hey, we know he\u2019s not the Toy Story star but we love that he\u2019s in every Pixar movie), but you do get to hear the likes of George Clooney, Bill Murray and Meryl Streep in this Wes Anderson-directed movie.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Clooney, even if you\u2019re a fan of his films you may have missed the short-lived Men Who Stare at Goats in theaters. Obviously it\u2019s no Up in the Air, but the solid ensemble cast includes Clooney, Kevin Spacey, Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor, and at 94 minutes it could make for a good high-def rental. For an Oscar-acclaimed release this week, check out Sandra Bullock\u2019s performance in The Blind Side\u2014and it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a football fan or not.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in catching up on some TV, the best bet this week is the continuing saga featuring the men and women of AMC\u2019s Mad Men\u2014this week marks Season Three\u2019s arrival on Blu-ray disc.<\/p>\n

And in case you missed it, the tweeny-bopper fave Twilight got a jump on the traditional Tuesday release date by sending out Twilight Saga: New Moon just after midnight on March 20.<\/p>\n
