Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)

With Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” finally coming to the end of a monster cinematic run that saw it become both the fastest animated film to reach $1 billion at the global box office and the 10th highest grossing film of all time, Disney has wasted no time in revealing details of the film’s home entertainment release. And the good news for the film’s legion of fans is that as well as not having to wait too long to see the film in the comfort of their own living room, they can also expect its physical media release to be accompanied by a wealth of all-new original bonus features.

The film arrives at digital retailers Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango At Home on August 20, before then appearing on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on September 10. The 4K Blu-ray version that I’m most interested in here will be available as a limited-edition collectable SteelBook release.

The 4K Blu-ray master will, as you would expect, feature a high dynamic range (HDR) grade to go with its Ultra HD resolution, along with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack (unlike the HD Blu-ray release, which drops to a 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track).

The film will be presented in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio throughout, and will ship on a 66GB 4K Blu-ray disc. Not using a 100GB disc should on this occasion not represent a serious problem given that “Inside Out 2”s running time is a compact 96 minutes.
