Edward Scissorhands Cuts In 4K For the First Time on 1/28/2025

From the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment press release:
Tim Burton’s heartwarming story of the innocently endearing character who cannot touch others will charm audiences new and old when Edward Scissorhands makes its debut on digital retailers (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home) and on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc on October 28 just in time for the Halloween season.

Lovingly restored for its 35th anniversary, every sparkle of Edward’s eyes and every glint of his blades now shines with breathtaking clarity, enhanced by Dolby Vision® and accompanied by cutting-edge Dolby Atmos® sound. First released in 1990, the film has carved a permanent place in the hearts of fans of Burton, Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder and Danny Elfman for decades, and is now presented more vividly than ever before.

Edward Scissorhands remains one of cinema’s most enchanting modern fables. A kindly inventor once created a gentle young man named Edward, but passed away before he could finish his work – leaving Edward with only metal shears for hands. Lonely until welcomed into a pastel suburbia by a kind Avon lady, Edward’s story still resonates today with its timeless message: to embrace what makes us different, and to discover that wonder often lies just beyond the unknown.

For collectors and fans, a hauntingly beautiful SteelBook® encases the classic film. The exterior features striking artwork, with Kim's face reflected in shattered glass on the front and a detailed close-up of Edward's compelling gaze on the back. The interior reveals a captivating illustration of a gothic Edward in all his leathered, studded and bladed glory. This limited-edition set includes both the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray discs, making it a must-have for any enthusiast.

Bonus Materials*

I'm surprised that it's taken this long for it to be released in 4K but add this one to the big list that have come out this year.  It's been a great year for these older titles.

Not a lot of new movies these days worth purchasing,  but the catalog titles have been outstanding this year. Hopefully it continues.

I think movies are dying. We are in the age of series no doubt

I don't know if they're dying, but the market is changing.

There are still good movies coming out; they just don't necessarily have huge budgets or advertising.  And some are limited to streaming platforms, like much of the original Netflix movies.

The quality of movies have certainly dropped from when I was a kid into my 30s. TV is so much better today versus then, so it's a tradeoff.

Well definitely the commercial theater concept is dying.
