The Sound of Music Collector's Edition (4K Blu-ray)

$48 | Releases September 23

This Collector's Edition includes a new 4K version of the classic film painstakingly recreated by Disney's restoration team. The entire process took nine months, with the team creating a digital scan of preserved film footage before manually editing out issues caused by warping and debris on the original film. The 4K version also benefits from Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Standard Blu-ray and digital copies are also included in the set.

Along with the movie, The Sound of Music Collector's Edition also includes three high-quality prints of iconic moments from the movie, and a bonus disc with hours of special features, which we've outlined below.

The Sound of Music is an acclaimed musical directed by Robert Wise, for which he won the Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture in 1965. Set in the Austrian countryside in 1938, the film follows a young woman, Maria (Julie Andrews), who becomes the governess of seven children for widower and retired naval captain Georg von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). As Maria, Georg, and the children become closer, news arrives that Germany has invaded Austria, and the family must escape to nearby Switzerland.

While the new Collector's Edition looks to be a great way to add the acclaimed film to your collection, it's not the only version of available. There's also The Sound of Music: 50th Anniversary Edition, which is available on Blu-ray for just $9.86 (was $20). While it lacks the new 4K transfer, art prints, and special packaging, it comes with many of the same bonus features.

Several other films are getting special edition 4K Blu-ray releases this year. Some noteworthy titles that are already available include a Steelbook 4K version of Pixar's family-friendly sci-fi film Elio, which follows the titular Elio on an intergalactic alien abduction adventure.
