Though Fantastic Mr. Foxis only in its second week here in the States, it’s been out in the U.K. for a bit longer, and as such, Fox has announced the Blu-Ray and DVD edtions of the film for that market.
The Blu-Ray and DVD will be released March 10, 2010. It will be a 2-Disc set with a digital copy included on the Blu-Ray. No further details or extras have been released, but the cover art is below. It’s…a cover. At least Kylie’s on it.
Information from Blu-Ray.com, where you can find links to pre-order it.
No word yet on the U.S. release, though that should be announced after the new year.

If I’m reading that right, the Blu-Ray will include a DVD copy of the film (Perhaps the rumoured flipper discs, with Blu-Ray on one side, and dvd on the other) so our suggestion would be to buy the Blu-Ray even if you haven’t made the upgrade.
I hope for the US they Criterionize that cussing DVD.
I agree with Craig. I’m just cheesed that the movie’s already gone from my local theater! Luckily I saw it opening wkend.
Perhaps we should bombard criterion with this request.
