Yesterday, the short film Riley’s First Date (with video clip) was announced to be included as a special feature on the Inside Out Blu-ray. Along with the announcement of the slap-stick short film (directed by Josh Cooley), we now have an official announcement from Pixar that the Blu-ray release date is November 3 (as rumored).
Additionally, it was also revealed that the digital release date for the film would come out a full three weeks prior to the Blu-ray/DVD release on October 13, 2015.
