Even though Disney made the decision to release Pixar's Luca directly onto the Disney+ streaming service, free of charge for subscribers, the company is still giving the acclaimed new film a full home release. Luca is getting released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms, which should excite fans of the film. Even more exciting, however, is that Luca's home release is just around the corner.

On Thursday, Disney revealed the full details of Luca's home release, announcing that the movie will arrive on physical discs and digital platforms on August 3rd, just about two months after its debut on Disney+.

The home release of Luca will come with a bunch of special features, including a few featurettes about the making of the film, some deleted scenes, and two alternate openings.

You can check out the full list of Luca's special features below.
