Tom and Jerry: The Complete CinemaScope Collection (Blu-ray Disc)

Afternoon, everyone! We’ve got a bunch of good release news to report today, but first we have a trio of new disc reviews to share with you, including...

My take on Chris Sanders’ stunning The Wild Robot (2024) in 4K Ultra HD from DreamWorks Animation.

Stephen’s look at the Disney+ streaming series Hawkeye: The Complete First Season (2021) in 4K Ultra HD Steelbook from Marvel.

And Tim’s review of Lau Kar-leung’s Return to the 36th Chamber (1980) on Blu-ray from Arrow’s excellent Shawscope: Volume Two box set.

Also, just to let you guys know, we have a ton of disc reviews in the works for the coming weeks. I myself have just spent the entire weekend reviewing disc, including The Wild Robot (linked above) but also the new Interstellar: 10th Anniversary Release, Ahsoka, Lost Horizon, and more. Plus the entire Bits review team is working on disc Blu-ray and 4K reviews. So watch for lots of them to be posted, a few each weekday between now and Christmas.

Now then... the big news today is that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially set Kelly Marcel’s Venom 3: The Last Dance for Blu-ray, DVD, 4K Ultra HD, and 4K Steelbook on 2/21.
