Last week I managed to post two new DVD cover art articles (Lionsgate and Paramount), and I hope this Disney one marks the beginning of a big week. My goal is to get the Warner Bros. and 20^th Century Fox cover art articles up later in the week, and while I have a number of interviews to transcribe and post, I think the goal is reachable.

Anyway, the reason you’re here. Posted below are the upcoming home video titles from Disney. While there aren’t that many, one of them is “No Country For Old Men,” which is almost enough on its own.

Also, I would’ve posted the Blu-Ray covers, but their press site doesn’t have them in the database yet. Hopefully by the next time I do a cover art article covering their titles, Blu-Ray will be included. After all, the format war is officially over, so I’m extremely happy to start pushing the winning HD format!

And now, the new titles from the company that Walt built.

Synopsis:

Newspaper advice columnist Dan Burns could use some good advice about his own relationships. A widowed parent of three daughters who are growing up in a hurry, Dan has little time to pursue his own happiness. After bringing the girls to his parents’ (Dianne Wiest and John Mahoney) Rhode Island beach house for their semiannual family gathering, Dan decides he needs a break from all the togetherness. Wandering into a used bookstore, he is mistaken for an employee by a charming customer named Marie (Juliette Binoche). Despite their shyness, an instant and undeniable attraction hints at future possibilities. But awkwardness turns to full-fledged discomfort when Dan returns to the house and is reintroduced to Marie as the new girlfriend of his fitness-instructor brother Mitch (Dane Cook). As Dan and Marie pretend they’re strangers while simultaneously falling in love, Dan’s despair at his predicament creates even more embarrassing misunderstandings—with sidesplitting results.
