The film will be presented in its original 1.66:1 aspect ratio on a 66GB disc, with English Dolby Atmos audio (the Blu-ray will have English 5.1 DTS-HD MA). Both discs will also include 2.0 Descriptive Audio, and French and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, with English SDH, French, and Spanish subtitles. We believe that most of the legacy special features will carry over on the Blu-ray. Note that the film will briefly return to the big screen at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre from 11/21-24. And it will arrive on Digital platforms on 12/9 as well. We don’t get have the final cover artwork yet, but you can see some temp art above left.
