Robin Williams' iconic performance as the titular nanny in the beloved comedy Mrs. Doubtfire is set to be immortalized in 4K Ultra HD. The film is scheduled for release on September 29, offering fans a chance to own a piece of cinematic history with enhanced visual and audio quality. A 4K/Blu-ray/Digital combo pack is available for preorder now, priced at $45.99.
The new release boasts a creative packaging design. The initial slipcover features the character of Mrs. Doubtfire, but upon removal, it reveals Daniel Hillard on the front cover, a detail noted as a "really creative and funny way to house the 4K."
