I don't do digital but for some reason (likely GRUV) got this email advertising 25% off purchases.

Does anyone know if the Shrek set grants UHD rights for all four movies?

I'm not completely certain but if it's a collection and one code for all the films then it's no (Digital Code from Blu-ray). If it's individual codes for each film and they redeem in itunes then yes. But, iTunes needs to have it in 4K already or it will register as HD in MA and port as such to your other connected services. Your best deal if you don't mind HD is just use Mobile to Digital on Vudu. Each Shrek film is $2 from Blu-ray.

I bought pick one UHD film out of 20 for $10. When I picked Utopia it only had a HD redeem. I’m trying to get it cancelled.

I purchased a ton of films with UHD rights from Universal's site back in 2020... titles which aren't available in 4K, but gave me UHD rights in MA. However, they are TERRIBLE when it comes to marking resolutions, so I don't know personally about Shrek.

I purchased a 10 movie bundle in early 2021 with UHD rights, but they all redeemed in HD on Movies Anywhere. Universal refunded my money when I told them this.


EDIT: The Universal site says the first one is UHD, and the sequels are HD. Can't count on that being correct, but probably the case: LINK

These are all MA redemptions. No iTunes redemptions, and only the first Shrek is available in 4K anywhere.

Universal's site is often wrong when it comes to resolutions, sometimes listing HD titles as UHD, and sometimes listing UHD titles as HD.

It can be a great place for getting UHD rights to titles not currently available in UHD, but it can be a gamble.
