Disney’s The Little Mermaid SteelBook Release
The Little Mermaid’s iconic sunset poster art inspires what’ll be a must-have for Disney movie collectors: the SteelBook release of the live-action fairy tale’s home media release.
Due out on digital July 25 and DVD/Blu-ray/4k on September 19, Rob Marshall’s The Little Mermaid gets a gorgeous limited edition physical release courtesy of Best Buy’s SteelBook collection. We’re so relieved the company is still adding titles to this line despite stores not carrying as many movie racks these days. Take a look at the beautiful cover, which features Halle Bailey as Ariel with the classic fairytale backdrop that any Disney Princess fan would want to display.
That’s not all; there will also be a standard release DVD/Blu-ray as well as a Walmart exclusive with a pin. Among the special features, which may vary depending on which version you pick up, you’ll find an array of behind-the-scenes goodies.
