Pixar’s Inside Out on Blu-ray 3D in November, Digital HD in October; Full Details and Cover Art

Inside Out Blu-ray 3D Release Date

After a streak of ignoring Blu-ray 3D releases in North America for Disney hits like Big Hero 6 and Frozen, director Pete Docter and Pixar’s Inside Out on Blu-ray 3D is happening with a now official release date of November 3 alongside Blu-ray, VOD and DVD. The Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere version of Inside Out arrives even earlier on October 13.

The reason for Inside Out taking so long to reach home video is simple: the first Pixar film in well over a year has performed strong throughout the summer so Disney is letting its theatrical legs play out before beginning the next stage of the film’s run in homes. To date, Inside Out has earned nearly $338 million at the domestic box office and $637 million worldwide.
