The next movie I shall get on BD is Sweeney Todd, and that is gonna be a great film to watch, with all the little details so much clearer to see than on SD format...
The future's good. The future's expensive...

I'm hoping for a definitive, extended special edition final cut of the LotR trilogy. Man, I've bought that series like 5 times over on DVD. Should be totally great in high-def.

You do realise it's still the same film right?

On that note, definitely get the Pixar Short Film Collection. Contains all the short films Pixar has made to date. The oldest ones are mainly interesting just to see what they pulled off with the equipment they had at the time, but some of the later ones are a riot. And the blu-ray version comes with jawdropping visuals as well. I got it a while ago and can certainly recommend it.

If you mean the full short Luxo Jr, then yes. I don't remember seeing any test animations or anything, but the disc does have some bonus material. I don't recall exactly what though. That original lamp animation was actually their second short, the collection also has the first one, Wally B. Which has little entertainment value by today's standards but is pretty darn impressive considering the hardware available at the time.

Cool. I might have to get that once I buy a PS3. I'm a big fan of the early Pixar stuff. I had to study it at university for the animation part of my course.
And yes, the Adventures of Andre and Wally B was very impressive considering it was made in 1984. Considering the hardware and 3D software available at the time it must have been a real hands on nightmare to make.
