Disney’s Dumbo Now Available on Digital, 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and Movies Anywhere

I received promotional items in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. 

Disney and director Tim Burton invite you to fall in love all over again with the story of “Dumbo”,  but this time as a grand live-action adventure!  This expanded version of the beloved animated classic is a story in which differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight, and is now available on Digital in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ and Movies Anywhere, and physically on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD — with never-before-seen bonus features, deleted scenes, Easter eggs and bloopers.
Stunning extras will transport viewers to the set of “Dumbo,” where cast members Danny DeVito (circus owner Max Medici), Michael Keaton (opportunistic businessman V.A. Vandevere), Colin Farrell (war-veteran-turned-elephant-keeper Holt Farrier), Eva Green (stunning aerialist Colette Marchant), Nico Parker (Farrier’s daughter, Milly) and Finley Hobbins (Farrier’s son, Joe) share their personal stories of courage and character. Features explore how Disney’s timeless animated story was brought to life with an incredibly expressive, lovable, fully computer-generated baby elephant; the longtime collaboration of Burton, production designer Rick Heinrichs and costume designer Colleen Atwood, which resulted in jaw-dropping sets and costumes; and the creation of the visually colossal Dreamland parade sequence. Also included are nine deleted scenes, hidden and not-so-hidden Easter eggs, bloopers and a special performance of “Baby Mine” by Arcade Fire.

In “Dumbo,” struggling circus owner Max Medici enlists former star Holt Farrier and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose over-sized ears make him a laughingstock. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive but sinister entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere, who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, spectacular, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.

“Dumbo” has been released in several different formats, giving families the flexibility to watch it on a variety of devices. Viewers can watch the film in Digital 4K UHD, HD and SD, and bring home a physical copy of the film as the 4K Ultra HD Edition (4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital Code), Multi-Screen Edition (Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Code) and a single DVD.

Watch the Final Toy Story 4 Trailer!

This is not a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. 

I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve been anticipating the arrival of “Toy Story 4”? I just know it’s been a long time coming. Personally, I have so many mixed feelings about this film. It feels like the end of an era and I just don’t know if I’m ready for that.Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were all introduced to Buzz, Woody, Jessie?  I literally can’t throw away any of my daughter’s toys since parts 2 & 3 came out.  I just don’t want the whole Toy Story series to be over and I’m going to be an emotional mess in the theater! With that being said, I absolutely adore “Sporky”! He’s the cutest addition to the cast and I can’t wait to see how his character plays out. Bo Peep, on the other hand, has me curious. She doesn’t seem like the nicest….I was excited to watch the “Toy Story 4” final trailer today. Have you watched it yet? Here it is:

“Toy Story 4” opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019. Are you as excited to see it as I am?
