Disney is making sure Aladdin fans are well taken care of later this summer with a 4K Ultra HD debut for the original film as well as the new live-action version.
On August 27th, Disney will release both Aladdin films on Digital HD and Movies Anywhere. Then on September 10th, look for both Aladdin films to arrive on 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos audio, Blu-ray and DVD.
