Disney’s hit live-action 101 Dalmatians prequel, Cruella is now available on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, and DVD. The film has been available digitally since this past June.
Disney has created three 4K Ultra HD SKUs as part of a limited-edition collection at Target, Walmart and Best Buy, respectively. The Target SKU includes two gold-foiled, exclusive lithographs designed by Poster Posse artist Nicky Barkla and Bella Grace; The Best Buy SKU is a limited run of the film packaged in a collectable SteelBook case; and the Walmart SKU includes an e-book.
In addition to the film, viewers will enjoy an array of bonus features including cast interviews, featurettes and deleted scenes in Ultra HD quality and Dolby Atmos.
Emma Stone (La La Land) stars in the live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. Cruella, set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by Thompson (Howards End, Sense & Sensibility). But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable, and revenge-bent Cruella.
