From the Walt Disney Studios press release:
Dead Poets Society and Mrs. Doubtfire, two of Robin Williams’ most iconic films, will debut on 4K Digital and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on September 29. Three decades after their theatrical releases, their availability in 4K will give audiences a chance to rediscover these classics in breathtaking picture and sound quality. Spanning heartfelt drama and laugh-out-loud comedy, Dead Poets Society and Mrs. Doubtfire respectively showcase the remarkable range that made Williams one of the most legendary actors of his generation.
In 1989’s Dead Poets Society, directed by Peter Weir, Williams assumed the role of James Keating, an unconventional English professor who uses poetry to inspire his students to “Carpe Diem!” The iconic performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Upon its release, critics and audiences revered the movie as compelling and inspirational.
Four years later, Williams transformed into the unforgettable Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire in Mrs. Doubtfire, earning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. The film, directed by Chris Columbus, became an instant classic, blending comedy with emotional depth, and delivered a timeless story that continues to entertain and resonate with the whole family.
In stunning 4K, audiences familiar with the two films and those discovering them for the very first time will have the opportunity to experience both at home in enhanced visual and audio design. The releases will include 4K resolution, High Dynamic Range (HDR), wider color spectrum and immersive audio, offering the ultimate home-viewing experience. Both movies will be available in 4K for the first time on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango. The 4K Ultra HD releases will feature new key art for both titles, and Mrs. Doubtfire fans will delight in collectible 4K UHD physical packaging that showcases dual art of Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire on the outer sleeve, with a playful reveal of his character Daniel Hillard underneath.
Dead Poets Society Film Synopsis
For generations, Welton Academy students have been groomed to live lives of conformity and tradition–until new professor John Keating (Robin Williams) inspires them to think for themselves, live life to the fullest and “Carpe Diem.” This unconventional approach awakens the spirits of the students, but draws the wrath of a disapproving faculty when an unexpected tragedy strikes the school. With unforgettable characters and beautiful cinematography, Dead Poets Society will captivate and inspire you time and time again.
