What an age we live in. At this point, you still may be able to see last year’s amazing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse at your local dollar theater. But if sticky floors and overpriced popcorn aren’t your jam and you still want to get that premium animated action that the film offered, then you’re in luck, as the film is set to get its home release tomorrow on Digital, with 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD all hitting on March 19.
Oh, and did we mention that you can now call this the Oscar-winnning animated film of 2018? That’s right, even the likes of Disney couldn’t hold a candle to this gem.
In celebration of this release, the folks over at Sony have been kind enough to give us here at LRM Online an EXCLUSIVE first look at the special features for the home release, along with an introduction from the movie’s star Shameik Moore, who plays the one and only Miles Morales. What does the home release offer, you may ask? Well, here’s what it has as described by the studio itself:
“SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE arrives filled with engaging bonus materials that are fun for the whole family and give fans even more of the unique comic book style action that they loved in theaters with over 90 minutes of bonus content. In his very own original short, “Spider-Ham: Caught In a Ham,” fan favorite Spider-Ham defeats his greatest foe, delivers sidesplitting puns, and get sucked into another dimension! It actually can get weirder! Don’t miss the thrilling Alternate Universe Mode where fans can view the film in an entirely new way to discover alternate scenes, plotlines, characters, and more with the filmmakers as their guide. Also included is The Spider-Verse Super-Fan Easter Egg Challenge, where fans are challenged to find every single Easter Egg hidden within the Spider-Verse (and there are a lot of them!). Explore the character design in the visually stunning film including specific looks at the now-iconic Spider-Ham character as well as the classic villains who inhabit the Spider-Verse. Additional special features include a celebration of the diversity in the film and the idea that anyone can wear the mask in a feature called We Are Spider-Man, a featurette called Spider-Verse: A New Dimension, where fans can hear from the artists and filmmakers who pushed the boundaries of the comic book artform to create a visual experience unlike anything done in animation before, a showcase of all the amazing fan favorite characters featured in the Spider-Verse and the actors who bring them to life, and a touching tribute to comic legends Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who originally created the Spider-Man character. Other bonus materials include two lyric videos featuring “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee and “Familia” by Nicki Minaj and Anuel AA (feat. Bantu).”
