Disney’s animated hit Big Hero 6 is coming to home video this February, but it won’t be available to watch in 3D on a disc-based format.
Digital HD and 3D versions of Big Hero 6 will be available to stream or purchase starting on February 3, 2015. The Blu-ray and DVD Big Hero 6 release date is a few weeks later on February 24, 2015. As with Frozen before it, Disney has opted not to release a Blu-ray 3D version of Big Hero 6, at least not in North America.
The Blu-ray edition of Big Hero 6 is a “collector’s edition” combo pack release that also includes the film on DVD and Digital HD. The feature presentation comes in 2.39:1 1080p video and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.
Pre-order Big Hero 6 on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital combo for $22.99 at Amazon, over 40% off the list price.
Big Hero 6 bonus features are oddly split between all three formats — Blu-ray, DVD and Digital — with Blu-ray and Digital getting exclusives. Sadly there’s no one comprehensive release of Big Hero 6 on home video that offers all the bonus features.
