Quick answer
Start with the Blu-ray disc in a Blu-ray player for the best picture and sound, then use the DVD disc in a standard DVD player or computer drive when you need portability or lack a Blu-ray player.
Why the combo pack includes two discs
The Ernest and Celestine combo pack ships with both a Blu-ray and a DVD disc so you can watch the film on different devices. The Blu-ray delivers high-definition video and lossless audio, while the DVD plays in older or portable players that do not support Blu-ray. Having both discs means you are not locked into one format.
What each disc offers
The Blu-ray disc contains the full feature in 1080p high definition with enhanced sound, ideal for home theater setups. The DVD disc offers standard-definition video and is compatible with most DVD players, car entertainment systems, and laptop drives. Neither disc includes region coding restrictions for North America, but always check your player's compatibility.
How to use both discs step by step
- Choose your primary player: If you have a Blu-ray player, insert the Blu-ray disc first. This gives you the sharpest picture and best audio. If you only have a DVD player or a computer with a DVD drive, use the DVD disc. Do not put the DVD into a Blu-ray player expecting HD quality—it will only play in standard definition.
- Insert the disc correctly: Hold the disc by its edges, place it gently onto the spindle label-side up, and close the tray. For slot-loading drives, slide the disc in with the label facing the same direction as other discs you use. Avoid touching the shiny underside—fingerprints can cause skipping or freezing.
- Navigate the menu: Once the disc loads, use your remote or keyboard to select Play Movie or a language/ subtitle option. Both discs offer similar menu layouts, so the experience is consistent. If the menu does not appear, check that your player's disc auto-play setting is turned off.
- Switch discs for different devices: When moving from a home theater to a laptop or car DVD player, swap the Blu-ray for the DVD disc. The DVD is also handy for lending to friends who do not own a Blu-ray player. Always store the unused disc in its original case sleeve to prevent scratches.
- Troubleshoot playback issues: If a disc does not play, wipe it gently from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth. Check that the player's firmware is up to date and that the disc is free of cracks or deep scratches. A disc that still fails after cleaning may need replacement—contact the retailer for support.

Ernest and Celestine [Blu-ray + DVD]: Deep below snowy, cobblestone streets, tucked away in networks of winding subterranean tunnels, lives a civilization of hardworking mice, terrified of the bears who live above ground. Unlike her fellow mice, Celestine is an artist and a dreamer – and when she nearly ends up as breakfast for ursine troubadour Ernest, the two form an unlikely bond. This heartwarming story is best enjoyed in high definition on the Blu-ray disc, but the DVD ensures you can still watch it on any standard player.
