"Andy can you hear that?"

In a very early announcement, Warner has set a November Blu-ray debut for 'The Shawshank Redemption.'

One of the most eagerly awaited Blu-ray titles in Warner's catalog, 'The Shawshank Redemption' was first touted for next-gen release last year in a variety of press materials and advertisements, though no hard street date was ever set.

The wait is now over, with Warner scheduling the Frank Darabont-directed classic for a November 4 Blu-ray debut.

With the release date so far off, there were no tech specs or supplement details available at press time, but we expect more to be revealed over the coming months.

Warner has set a suggested $28.98 list price for the Blu-ray.

Nice to see more 2D animation on BD. I really want Warner to put out The Iron Giant.

[JP]

That was a fantastic film and I somehow managed to completely miss it when it was released...it seems most of the planet did!

[Lyris]

Me too. It was one of my first Region 2 DVDs though.

I lent the special edition DVD (with the all new digital transfer <not>) to my parents for them to watch, as they really enjoyed Ratatouille and The Incredibles.

Saw them last night and asked if they liked it - "no, we turned it off about half an in, it was rubbish", they said and added that my auntie asked how old am I to have bought the film as it's a cartoon.

I did say to them that if it was CGI like the Incredibles then I bet they would have loved it (cell animation fascists)!

Still, I love it, and a Blu-ray version would be very nice indeed!

The Iron Giant is awesome, I have the R2 2 disc set and I'll definitely pick up a BR version if it ever sees release.

Oh dear, they should see my DVD shelves!

[Number45]

Would they ask the same though if it was the DVD release of, say, Snow White for example? Don't see the difference myself.

[Lyris]

Good question. I guess they'd assume that was a "classic" and allow it to slip. Although the likes of The Iron Giant isn't a very cartoon-y film (there's no eyes jumping out of heads and the like), so I'd have thought people more used to live action wouldn't have a hard time watching it.
