Dr Seuss’ The Grinch will be released on 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on 11th March 2019.

The film will be released earlier on Digital Download so you can get it from 1st March 2019. The home entertainment edition contains more than 60 minutes of bonus content, including three mini-movies: “Dog Days of Winter” starring the Grinch and his heroically loyal dog Max; and “Yellow is the New Black” and “Santa’s Little Helpers,” both starring the lovable Minions.

Dr Seuss’ The Grinch is based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved tale about a cynical grouch who goes on a mission to steal Christmas from others only to feel his own heart grow three sizes larger through unexpected friendships. The film is from Illumination and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

The film is narrated by Pharrell Williams and features Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange, Sherlock) as the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpit with only his loyal dog, Max, for company.

The voice cast also includes Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation, The Muppets) as Donna Who, Kenan Thompson (Saturday Night Live) as Bricklebaum, Cameron Seely (The Greatest Showman) as Cindy-Lou Who, and featuring legendary actress Angela Lansbury (Anastasia, Beauty and the Beast) as the mayor of Whoville.
