Benelux

Haha I know. I looked it up. Never heard that term before though.

Sorry, as someone from the Benelux that was funny.

So when someone asks where you're from do you say Benelux or do you say the actual country? Does it run pretty much like a single country? Lol I don't know if what I'm sayin makes sense

[Sotiris]

No, you say the specific country. They are all separate countries. Benelux is only a customs union between these three countries.

Benelux refers to the region, it's not a single country. It's more of an economical term (correct me if I'm wrong), not a geographical one. The term has lost its purpose though and it has come to be used mainly (and usually) for movie/music distribution.

[PatrickvD]

What Sotiris said yes.

And yes it is definitely more of an economical term. Benelux is a often used to refer to the region as a market. Movies and such are often released simultaneously in each country. There's lots more, but it's boring stuff.

Watched Stanton's and Docter's student films in my History of Animation class last year. Stanton's was mediocre, but Docter's was HILARIOUS. This will be a great bonus feature!

[SWillie!]

Yeah, that's a really nice addition. They ought to do this for other artists at the studios, though I understand why it would only be the big names

[Philo & Gunge]

So if my guesses are right, this will have

Your Friend, the Rat
Presto
BURN-E
Partly Cloudy
Dug's Special Mission
Day & Night
Hawaiian Vacation
Small Fry
La Luna

Partysaurus Rex will likely be included and The Legend of Mor’du is possible but I'm intrigued what the other shorts might be. Tokyo Mater was theatrically released, would that be possible to include on this DVD?

I'd imagine that since it was included on the Mater's Tall Tales blu-ray/DVD, Pixar wouldn't release it on a second compilation.

It seems the Toy Story/Cars Toons shorts aren't be included according to the link.

[PixarFan2006]

Wow, what a disappointing set. Only 7 shorts for less than 40 dollars (estimated). And the fact that a lot of them are already out on Blu-Ray (And La Luna wil obviously be on the Brave disc too) is more pathetic. I would get it just for the student shorts (which you can probably see online for free), but the price is just insane.

[Lnds500]

I would buy it with eyes closed if it included the 3D versions of these shorts..
I'll wait for a price drop

[ajmrowland]

price drop, I will wait for.

however, this shouldnt be unexpected. It's already been 5 years since volume 1 and we havent had that many theatrical shorts. at the same price point, Cars Toons had only 35 minutes of the main feature(plus plenty of extras to even it out a little) and TTT is it's own domain for commerce.

I hear ya! And yet.. Me money's burning a whole in me pocket

I hear ya! And yet.. Me money's burning a whole in me pocket

You'll have so many things to buy by the time this comes out that you'll find the courage to hold back
