Disney offers another wave of Disney+ shows on Blu-Ray for a great holiday buying pack

As a longtime fan with a library bursting at the seams with VHS tapes and DVDs, I must say, Disney’s latest slate of steelbook Blu-Ray releases for some top Disney+ shows has got me all nostalgic! It’s like stepping back in time to when Blockbuster still ruled the roost.


Disney has announced a new lineup of Steelbook Blu-Ray editions from their Disney+ series, perfect for holiday gifts! Discover what’s available now!

There’s been a lot of discussion about the decrease in use of physical media, such as DVDs and Blu-Rays, with studios focusing more on streaming platforms instead. This shift is evident even with companies like Disney, who have stopped their Disney Movie Club subscription service and have reduced the number of Blu-Ray releases recently.

Nevertheless, the company continues to release special 4K Steelbooks for select Disney+ series, with a surge happening in 2023. However, Disney has just announced a fresh batch of four shows scheduled to hit shelves on December 3rd, so let’s take a look at what’s coming!

The Mandalorian Season 3

Fan reactions were mixed about this season of the Star Wars series, but it featured high-profile guest appearances by Jack Black and Lizzo, as well as exploring the evolution of the Empire into the First Order. Additionally, it delved deeper into the culture of the Mandalorians and set up a significant confrontation that could potentially lead to the upcoming film featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu.

This collection’s extra features are particularly significant, as they pay homage to the late, iconic Carl Weathers and provide exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into the production process of the series.

  • Honoring the Magistrate: A Tribute to Carl Weathers — Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni pay tribute to Carl Weathers, the unforgettable talent behind Greef Karga.
  • Galactic Legacy: The Creatures and Droids of The Mandalorian — Discover the secrets of Season Three’s memorable creatures and droids with the artists who bring them to life.
  • Forging the Covert: Part Three — Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and the filmmakers explore the expanding world of Season Three’s Mandalorian warriors.

Hawkeye

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but appreciate this series, titled “The First Season,” even though there’s no hint about a sequel yet. The remarkable return of Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton sees him taking on a mentoring role for the young and talented Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld. This heartwarming Christmas-themed journey unexpectedly pits our heroes against one of Marvel’s most iconic villains, making it one of the MCU’s finest television offerings.

  • A Tale of Two Hawkeyes — Discover how the cast and crew extended the Hawkeye legacy, bringing together Clint Barton and new character Kate Bishop.
