That's probably the case.. The Mitchells vs. the Machines (also distributed by Sony) was finished in HD and as such is the director's preferred way to view the film but an upscaled UHD version is on Digital purchase. Garfield was however finished with an Atmos mix

But 4K still. I have a strong feeling blu ray is all we will get unless they do a sequel and decide to release the first in 4K. Or if someone like shout factory releases it on 4k.

Why is there a 4k release mentioned in the release calendar ? i thought Garfield only gets a standard blu-ray release on August 27th...

Yes! I love the Bill Murray Garfield movies. And I am forever grateful for them. It came out at the perfect time. Right at the peak of DVD. And because of the Bill Murray Garfield movies, they released the original 80's Garfield TV specials, and the 80's Saturday morning cartoon, Garfield and Friends on DVD. Which, without the movie coming out, they wouldn't have released them on DVD. And because the Bill Murray Garfield movie performed so well at the box office, and particularly on home media, they made a sequel, and continued to release the 80's Garfield on DVD. And actually released the entire series. Which was rare back then. Because it's unlikely that they would've released 80's Garfield on DVD if there was no movie to promote. And if on the off-chance they did, it's even less likely that they would've released the entire catalogue. Back in those days, if they released an 80's show, it would be the first volume, of a few select episodes, or the first season. And then if it didn't sell, nothing else. Assuming they released it at all. There's still to this day, a lot of popular 80's cartoons that don't have proper DVD releases.

As for the Chris Pratt Garfield movie, it was fine. Overall good kids movie. But not a great Garfield movie. You could swap Garfield out with any other character, and get the same exact movie. I also had nothing riding on the Chris Pratt film, like I did with the Bill Murray ones. They already released all the 80's Garfield stuff on DVD 20 years ago. And Garfield is a much more legendary, and accepted IP today being almost 50 years old, than it was 20 years ago.

Speaking of which, I wish the 80's/90's stuff would get a Blu-ray release!

[Dragon78]

Yeah, would love a blu ray release for Garfield and Friends and all the specials.

Sony keeps Dolby Atmos exclusive to 4K Blu-rays.

So does anyone know if there IS going to be a 4K release? The listing for the 4K on here has a release date of August 27 (like the Blu-ray) but there isn't an Amazon listing (as far I know) for it. It just seems odd to me.

oh good a slip

Shipped today from Target.

Daughter loved it in theaters, so I preordered during one of Target’s B2G1 sales. Thinking of returning it when it comes in. She’ll probably be fine watching it on Netflix (which I assume it will be on soon huh?).

Fingers crossed there’ll be a generous amount of foreign language options on the disc. ����

Back cover says English and French audio only

[Patricier21]

Does anyone who has the Blu-ray may be able to explain to me about the character environment gallery? Is it concept art or is it just random steel frames from the movie etc.? Would be truly gratefully appreciated if you could quote me and let me know :-) because there is no review currently posted on the site that details and breaks it down……

I'm wondering who will release this film on DVD and Blu-ray in Hong Kong and Taiwan since Sony doesn't have the rights there.
