Animated ‘The Little Prince’ Heading to Disc Feb. 9 From Paramount

The animated adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic story The Little Prince arrives on Blu-ray and DVD Feb. 9 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Featuring a voice cast including Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, James Franco, Benicio Del Toro, Ricky Gervais, Albert Brooks, Paul Rudd, Mackenzie Foy and Paul Giamatti, the film debuted on Netflix in 2016.

From the director of Kung Fu Panda comes this re-imagined take on the story. At its heart is “The Little Girl” (Foy), prepared by her mother (McAdams) for the very grown-up real-world. After her eccentric, kind-hearted neighbor “The Aviator” (Bridges) introduces her to an extraordinary world where anything is possible, she learns of “The Little Prince” (Riley Osborne). And so begins a magical and emotional journey.

Disney’s ‘Nutcracker’ Comes Home Jan. 29

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release The Nutcracker and the Four Realms on Blu-ray, DVD, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and digital Jan. 29.

Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s short story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” and the ballet The Nutcracker, the film tells the story of 14-year-old Clara (Mackenzie Foy), who travels along a golden thread, presented at Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual party, eagerly searching for a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a music box that holds a priceless gift. When she enters a mysterious parallel world, Clara encounters a Nutcracker soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and three Realm regents, including the Sugar Plum Fairy (Keira Knightley). Ultimately, she must brave the Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve the key and return harmony to the unstable world.

Blu-ray extras include: “On Pointe: A Conversation with Misty Copeland,” in which the actress discusses playing The Ballerina Princess; “Unwrapping The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” a look at the production design, sets and costumes; five deleted scenes; and music videos for “Fall on Me” by Andrea Bocelli featuring Matteo Bocelli, and Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker Suite” performed by Lang Lang.

Another featurette “Unwrapped: The Visual Effects of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” will be available exclusively with the digital edition.
