Pixar’s Cars Announced on DVD

Variety reports that Pixar’s Cars is driving onto DVD November 11th. While Disney is on the Blu-ray team, shockingly, no Cars Blu-ray disc was scheduled. For special features, the DVD will also include a new Pixar animated feature Mater and the Ghost.

Disney/Pixar’s Cars will be street-ready Nov. 7 with the new animated short “Mater and the Ghost” and the backing of the studio’s largest promotional campaign to date.

Prebook is Sept. 12, and the DVD has a suggested retail price of $29.99. The studio didn’t announce any plans for a Blu-ray debut of the animated hit.

The single-disc release is slim compared to previous Pixar DVDs from Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment. The new short “Mater” takes the good-ole’ boy tow-truck on a new adventure. Academy-Award nominated short “One Man Band,” which played with the movie in theaters, also will be on the DVD. Plus there’s the behind-the-scenes featurette “Inspiration for Cars,” four deleted scenes and a preview of upcoming Disney/Pixar film Ratatouille.
