Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will have a 4K Ultra HD blitz planned for Sept. 10, which will be led by director Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake of Aladdin, starring Will Smith as the Genie and Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Naomi Scott as Jasmine.

The ARR comes in at 109 days — leisurely by today’s industry quick-turn standands — and domestic box office receipts currently stand at a robust $346.2 million.   Just as with the animated series, this live-action presentation has film franchise written all over it.

As to bonus treasures, there are six deleted scenes, a trio of production featurettes — “Aladdin’s Video Journal: A New Fantastic Point of View,” “Guy Ritchie: A Cinematic Genie” and “A Friend Like Genie” — a deleted song presented with full production values, “Desert Moon,” and three music videos —  Naomi Scott does “Speechless” and the performing artist, ZAYN teams with Zhavia Ward and Becky G. for English and Spanish language versions of “A Whole New World” respectively.     

Also arriving on Sept. 10 is a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack of the 1992 animated Aladdin with Robin Williams.   New bonus features include a sing along feature, a “what if” realm featuring alternate “possible” endings and two newly-prepared featurettes — “Aladdin on Aladdin” and “Let’s Not be too Hasty.”

There is more!!   Also getting 4k Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack upgrades on Sept. 10 are Ratatouille, Inside Out, Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, Good Dinosaur, Cars and Cars 2.
