There are over three hours of never-before-seen bonus content of Avatar: The Way of Water in its digital release, which features the cast and crew of the blockbuster film. Also, since we’re creeping up to Earth Month in April, Avatar is encouraging fans to participate in the “Keep Our Oceans Amazing” campaign, which launched with the theatrical release ofย Avatar: The Way of Water. From now through July 31st, fans can create their very own Avatar-inspired ocean creature. For every creature created in the Virtual Pandoran Ocean, Disney U.S. will give $5 to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) U.S. to help them achieve their global goal of protecting 10 percent of the ocean by 2030.

As an added bonus to entice customers to buy Avatar: The Way of Water, 20th Century Home Entertainment also released an all-new clip from the three-plus hours of bonus content.
