Two Hilarious Disney Animated Comedies Together!
First Time on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack – June 11
This summer, Walt Disney Studios invites audiences to get into
the groove with two outrageously funny animated comedies, “The
Emperor’s New Groove” and “Kronk’s New Groove” available June
11, 2013 for the first time ever on Blu-ray hi-definition, in a
2 movie collection. The 3-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack includes both
feature films on a single Blu-ray disc plus each film on
individual DVDs.
The fun begins with “The Emperor’s New Groove,” featuring an
all-star cast and Academy Award®-nominated music by Sting (Best
Music, Original Song, Sting, 2000). When the young and spoiled
Emperor Kuzco (voice of David Spade) is transformed into a llama
by his sinister advisor Yzma (voice of Eartha Kitt) and her
henchman Kronk (voice of Patrick Warburton), it takes a
thoughtful peasant named Pasha (voice of John Goodman) to
restore the kingdom and show Kuzco just how much fun it is to be
true to yourself.
Then audiences can continue the fun with “Kronk’s New Groove.”
The outrageous sequel stars Yzma’s hilarious henchman Kronk in a
riotous adventure that’s filled with hysterical mayhem and
mishaps. Kronk cooks up a get-rich quick scheme to impress his
Dad. But when things go wrong, Kronk kicks into comical high
gear and discovers that the true riches in life are his friends
and being “true to your groove.”

Two Disney Animated Family Movies Together!
First Time on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack - June 11
This summer Walt Disney Studios treats audiences to two
heartwarming and hilarious animated comedies about bringing
friends and family together even when they seem worlds apart in
one fun “Lilo and Stitch” 2-movie collection. Available June 11,
2013 for the first time on Blu-ray with perfect picture and
sound, the “Lilo & Stitch” and “Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A
Glitch” movies are hours of fantastic fun in one incredible
collection! The 3-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack includes both feature
films on one Blu-ray disc plus each film on individual DVDs.
“Lilo and Stitch” is the story of Lilo, a lonely little girl,
and Stitch the mischievous little creature from outer space.
When Stitch crash-lands in Hawaii, Lilo adopts him as her pet,
but he soon turns her world upside down. Stitch takes Hawaii by
storm, wreaking havoc and hanging ten while he evades the alien
bounty hunters who are after him, and also learning about
loyalty and friendship. Featuring six original Elvis Presley
songs, “Lilo and Stitch” is fun for the entire family.
The laughter continues in the hysterical sequel “Lilo & Stitch
2: Stitch Has a Glitch.” As Stitch settles into life with his
human family it appears his molecular makeup is out of whack and
his friendship with Lilo is threatened as a result. Lilo and her
friends must find a way to restore his “goodness” level before
he ruins everything, including Lilo’s big hula competition – the
same competition her mother won years before.
Discover that “ohana” means family, and celebrate the
unbreakable bonds of friendship like never before with these two
unforgettable movies on Disney Blu-ray for the first time!
