DVDizzy.com: Toy Story Giveaway - Win the Older, More Loaded 2-Disc DVD Edition of Pixar's First Film

Toy Story: 10th Anniversary Edition DVD cover art

The beloved computer animation pioneer Toy Story returns to DVD today in an unimaginatively-named "DVD Edition". The single-disc release is superfluous for anyone who bought the recently-debuted Blu-ray combo pack that included the disc. It's also of modest value to those who already own the films on DVD. For fans without Pixar's premiere feature in their collection who aren't buying into Blu-ray, they're frankly a downgrade in bonus features from the films' loaded discontinued DVDs.

The new disc acquires the handful of short features created for the Blu-ray release, but loses a wealth of extras from the Ultimate Toy Box and 2-Disc 10th Anniversary Edition: a making-of documentary, a game, a music video, trailers, galleries, fly-around tours, animation tests, the fun Toy Story Treats, and so on.

Disney and Pixar don't seem to care about downgrading from two discs to one and charging the same price that the supplementally superior edition carried when in print. As has been the norm lately, the bulk of their promotional push came for the deeply-discounted Blu-ray combo, given eight weeks' head start and somewhat deceptively packaged and placed as a DVD + Blu-ray. But we care, so we're giving you the chance to win a sealed, brand new copy of Toy Story's 10th Anniversary Edition DVD, released in 2005 and discontinued in January 2009. You won't find this two-disc set in stores, but one lucky reader will soon find it in their DVD collection.

And the DVD goes to...

Congratulations to our winner, Facebook fan David Godleski! Thanks to all who entered. Keep your eyes open for future contests.
