The rip off behind DisneyPixar's Cars DVD

My rage isn't against the movie, because it's excellent. Just read all the other reviews posted everywere and see what is other people saying.

My anger is against the rip off behind Cars' DVD marketing strategy. Why in this world this thieves at Disney didn't include an English and Spanish audio tracks in the same DVD, or at least included Spanish subtitles along with the English track. They didn't do it because they wanted to squeeze more money out from their loyal customers' pockets, and force them to buy two copies of the same movie, one in English and one in Spanish.

I never go to the movies at the theater because mi wife doesn't understand English. I usually wait for the DVD release and buy it for the enjoyment of the movie at home, playing it in my already expensive home theater system. Thus, if a movie doesn't have Spanish (audio or subtitles) I simply don't buy it. However, this time I had to buy this one because my kids.

My kids and I do speak English and we watch the DVD with English audio, given my kids prefer it that way. But when I watch the movie together with my wife, we do it with Spanish audio or at least with Spanish subtitles (yes, I commonly watch movies twice).

This time my wife felt very disappointed she couldn't enjoy this movie and had to conform to the very bad live translation I was doing to her.

I've bought every DVD Disney has produced and sold in the past 5 years, but a rip off like this makes me think in piracy as an option.... Did you hear that Disney?
