After yanking the Blu-ray from their next-gen schedule, Paramount has re-set 'Blades of Glory' for a May release.
Originally planned for release on Blu-ray only days before Paramount announced their switch to HD DVD exclusivity last year, the studio subsequently pulled 'Blades of Glory' at the last minute before it hit store shelves (with the few copies that leaked out to retailers quickly becoming a much sought-after collector's item).

Fans still scouring eBay for a Blu-ray copy of the Will Ferrell-Jon Heder smash comedy can now stop looking, as Paramount has confirmed it will debut the long-shelved release on Blu-ray on May 20.

'Bee Movie' is buzzing to Blu-ray this May and the full specs and box art are now in, with the next-gen release including a hive's worth of exclusive content.
As previously reported, Paramount's long-awaited return to Blu-ray includes a May 20 Blu-ray debut for the Jerry Seinfeld animated smash. (The studio previously announced an HD DVD version of 'Bee Movie,' only to cancel the title following the demise of the format)

Extras shared with the two-disc DVD edition (which Paramount released earlier this year) include audio commentary with Seinfeld and the filmmakers, four making-of featurettes ("Jerry's Flight Over Cannes," "Inside The Hive: The Cast of Bee Movie," "Tech of Bee Movie," "Meet Barry B. Benson"), deleted scenes and alternate endings with optional commentary, a music video, "TV Juniors" shorts that first aired on NBC, and a suite of "DreamWorks Animation Kids" interactive activities ("The Buzz About Bees," "The Ow! Meter," "That's Un-BEE-lievable!", "Pollination Practice," "Be A Bee").
