Bonus Features: ‘Jungle Cruise’ sails home on 4K and Blu-ray

When the box office needs a jumpstart, give it a little Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is always able to work some magic – even in a pandemic – and “Jungle Cruise” was no exception.

The summer blockbuster co-starring Emily Blunt brought the classic Disneyland ride to life in a swashbuckling, action-packed treasure hunt. Following in the footsteps of its fellow ride-to-screen film, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Jungle Cruise” channels the same playful and thrilling quest for adventure that made “Pirates” such a hit.

Now, “Jungle Cruise” is sailing home on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, after already making its way to Disney Plus on Disney+ Day.

“Jungle Cruise” finds Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt) and wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff (Johnson) teaming up for the adventure of a lifetime as they search through the Amazon for an ancient tree with healing abilities. Amidst danger and supernatural forces lurking in the jungle, secrets of the lost tree unfold as their fate – and mankind’s – hangs in the balance.

The home release comes loaded with bonus features, including a whopping 11 deleted scenes. Rather than a traditional director’s commentary track, the Blu-ray offers “Jungle Cruise Expedition Mode,” which will be a hit with Disney-lovers as it points out Easter Eggs and trivia nods to the original ride, as well as other fun facts throughout the film.

Let’s take a look at everything this home release has to offer!
