Here are a couple of cool new ‘Wall-e’ production pictures from Totalfilm. I have the feeling this $120 million Pixar animation is going to set some new records. The buzz is good, although the movie isn’t out until June 30. I’ve heard several people praise the trailers, while they weren’t fans of other Pixar projects. Too bad Disney isn’t going to do a simultaneous worldwide release. Releasing in the US first is so nineties.

Disney’s October Blu-ray release of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ will use BD-Live to create a new interactive experience. New Blu-ray players can use BD-Live to download additional content of the internet. It will enable the Blu-ray release to adapt to local weather conditions and show customized video messages.

“Sleeping Beauty will revolutionize the way people will interact with and view movies in the home. We pulled out all the stops in launching this technology,” Bob Chapek of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment said.

Disney notes sentiments we saw earlier. Blu-ray is lagging behind expectations and even Blu-ray disc sales are down. They hope these interactive features will generate some positive buzz for the format.

Sony recently released Judd Apatow’s ‘Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story’ as one of the first Blu-rays with BD-Live.

‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’ tracking numbers are showing potential. The family fantasy will open this Thursday and is expected to top the $65.5 million opening by its predecessor ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ in 2005.

The $100 million ‘Prince Caspian’ is particularly tracking well with women above 25, with 25% compared to 20% for ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ last year. ‘Un-Aided Awareness’ is 11%, compared to 16% for Potter. ‘Definite Interest’ 42% compared to 48% and ‘Overall First Choice’ 14% for the Disney movie compared to 17% for Harry Potter last year.

With not much else on the horizon this weekend, I think ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’ is going to have a very good start, with ‘Iron Man’ still following.
