Which shows and movies, animated or live action should get the definitive blu ray treatment? Treatment that is second to none, taken to it's fullest potential and so definitive, no other edition will ever be released again on blu ray. Examples of this could be the LOTR, Back To The Future, Star Wars (minus the ridiculous edits), etc. Those sets were full of extras that I have viewed multiple times.

Movies:

E.T.

TMNT 1990

TV shows:

Batman TAS

TMNT 1987

Wonder Years (which has yet to be on DVD which is sad)

Fresh Prince

They will likely be in SD I'd have to assume. If they can be somehow be formatted to HD, that's great. I believe they can since movies like T2, Crow, BTTF that were't in HD before were formatted in HD for their blu ray releases. SD or HD, the picture and sound quality these shows would be on blu ray would be off the charts!

Events: I only added this to the title because I felt that the WM Anthology should be on blu ray too. Especially now since the blurred logos don't have to be seen anymore.

The sets should be full of extras such as documentaries (Making Of, Behind The Scenes, etc), interviews with cast, trailers, etc.

TRON: Uprising should get a Blu-Ray treatment, although I highly doubt it will because of the low views its getting now... :( But then again, I didnt think we would get a OST for Uprising so who knows?

I saw the original 1982 Tron as well as the recent Tron film. How does Uprising compliment those films? Are they related? Is the style the same? Are the cast and crew from any of the movies in there anywhere?

Oh yes they are relalted. Its pretty much a prequel to TRON: Legacy, and a sequel to TRON. Showing a few certain events leading up to Legacy. As far as the style, Id say it has a blend of both films, leaning more towards the TRON: Legacy style.

Also, the only cast members from the original film is Bruce Boxleitner (Duh hes TRON!), and Olivia Wilde. She reprised her role as Quorra in a episode.

So no cast members from Tron: Legacy, huh? Based on your comment, I'll have to check it out. Thanks :)

One of my wishes to come true someday is that for a definitive special edition box set release of the whole, entire complete series of the 1990�s kids cartoon Dexter�s Laboratory on Blu-Ray, done at the highest level, with such a release on BluRay containing newly restored and remastered 1080p HD video transfers of everything in the orignal series run of Dexter�s Lab from the very first pilot episodes up to Last But Not Beast and Ego Trip (except for the last 2 seasons of Dexter�s Lab which will most likely get 1080p HD transfers taken directly from the digital source), maximum bit-rate encoding and, in addition to the original 2.0 stereo broadcast audio mixes, all new 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound for the best and highest quality A/V presentation plus a whole lot of extensive supplemental extra bonus features (including materials not yet seen before) as well as being aimed not just at Dexter�s Lab and/or Cartoon Network fans, but also even the collector, especially in ways that previous home video releases of even Cartoon Network�s more classic shows never were�

But�

The original series run of Dexter�s Laboratory from the very first pilot episodes up to Last but not Beast and Ego Trip (and including the Ego Trip movie) might also undergo a massive restoration process in order for Dexter�s Laboratory to be fit for a high definition BluRay presentation, and since the 1995-1998 seasons of Dexter�s Lab and the Ego Trip TV special were shot on film but edited on videotape(?) and in order to restore AND preserve the original series run of Dexter�s Laboratory from the very first pilot episode up to Last But Not Beast and the Ego Trip movie in their original unaltered broadcast forms and in excellent high quality and in 1080p HD, they will need to go back to the original source, and re-edit everything in the original series run of Dexter�s Lab from the very first pilot episode up to Last But Not Beast and Ego Trip together from scratch; for example, each and every episode in the older, 1995-1998 seasons and the Ego Trip movie as well will have to be cleaned up and reassembled frame-by-frame, the dialogue and voice tracks had to be reinserted and much of the sound effects had to be completely redone to fit the show�s 7.1 DTS-HD MA remixes, etc. And this will mean a lot of time and a lot of money, probably more money than has ever been spent to bring something that is animated, and used to air on TV during the obscure yet simple and happy time before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and have garnered a small cult following, to home video, had to be spent in order to make such a release happen.

So, what do you think?

Dexter's Lab is certainly worth the treatment without question. I am unsure though if they can have pre-HD stuff in HD. I know movies such as Burton's Batman dulogy, BTTF, ET, Star Wars, Terminator which were all originally pre-HD are now out of bl uray. I do not own them so I don't know if these are in HD or not. I own WWE sets and their pre-HD content hasn't been upgraded to HD. Instead, they are cropped. Like the content is in the center. But on the left and right side is a sometimes distracting design or picture or something to cover the black parts of the screen.
