DreamWorks Animation titles were added to Walmart’s disc-to-digital Vudu service that launched today at more than 3,500 stores. Vudu bridges the hard goods DVD/Blu-Ray business with the newer digital download efforts. Walmart customers can now get digital copies of movies they’ve purchased on disc from Paramount Home media Distribution, Sony Picgtures Home Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Among the DWA films available in the cloud starting today are Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, the Shrek films and How To Train Your Dragon.

hats off to the studios for trying to sort out digital distribution and trying to help retailers out. but ultraviolet and this voodoo service is DOA. only someone over 50 in the boonies who has no idea how to use a ripper to back up their discs will use this service. who are the dudes (and i’m sure they are dudes) who keep coming up with these lame-o programs.
i am not a big fan of apple and their iTunes set up. but they figured something out. people want the power to convert s**t at home.
I might go in and attempt to use this service just for the sheer amusement of watching the WalMart employees’ heads explode.
