From a 62-year-old classic to a recent blockbuster about a bow-and-arrow-wielding heroine, the following new releases will bring together movie fans of all ages
Cinderella (1950)
Hear that? That’s the sound of the Disney vault groaning open to release this Blu-ray edition of the fairy-tale classic. With new featurettes and an introduction from Walt Disney’s daughter, the upgrade fits like a glass slipper. Grab it quick before it goes back into that vault.
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
The Muppets take on Dickens, and the result is a Christmas miracle. Even better? The Blu-ray release comes with an audio commentary from Kermit, Gonzo, and others. It would take a real Scrooge to say, ”Bah, humbug” to that.
Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted (2012)
It’s no use trying to keep a straight face during this charmingly goofy, circus-themed threequel — or resisting the urge to try on the multicolored ‘do that comes with the special-edition ”Rainbow Wig Pack.”
A Cat in Paris (2012)
This sly, languid animated film from France was nominated for an Academy Award thanks to a unique style and a delightful story about a cat burglar who joins up with a burglar cat. Some of the themes may go over the heads of very young viewers, but the visuals alone are enough to entrance. Extras include a bonus short film.
Brave (2012)
Pixar’s arrow-slinging Princess Merida looks sharp on the Ultimate Collector’s Edition, which packs behind-the-scenes mini-docs and a bewitching new short, The Legend of Mor’du.
