A trio of animated double features are headed to Blu-ray in June.
In an early announcement to retailers, Disney is preparing 'The Emperor's New Groove / Kronk's New Groove,' 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Atlantis: Milo's Return,' and 'Lilo & Stitch / Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch' for Blu-ray on June 11.
'The Emperor's New Groove' follows a spoiled Aztec emperor who is turned into a llama after firing his evil sorceress. Alone in the jungle, the talking llama is befriended by a peasant who's been kicked out of his home... by the emperor. The sequel, 'Kronk's New Groove,' focuses on lovable lug Kronk, who has happily started a new life as the head chef in his very own diner.
From the creative team behind 'The Lion King' and 'Beauty And The Beast,' 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' is an exciting quest of adventure and discovery. Join the search below the sea for one of the greatest mysteries of all time. The fearless explorers reunite in the follow-up, 'Milo's Return,' launching a new quest that sets them against gigantic sea monsters, spectacular spirits, and powerful legends.
In 'Lilo & Stitch,' alien Stitch, an experiment from a distant planet, finds a new friend when he's adopted by Hawaiian girl Lilo. But when Stitch's creator comes after him, Lilo and Stitch must defeat him. In the sequel, 'Stitch Has A Glitch,' a glitch in Stitch's genetic makeup causes him to go haywire. Lilo and the rest of Stitch's friends have to find him and stop his rampage!
Each release will be presented in a 3-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack. Specs and supplements for 'Lilo & Stitch / Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch' and 'The Emperor's New Groove / Kronk's New Groove' have yet to be revealed, but 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Atlantis: Milo's Return' will feature 1080p video, DTS-HD MA 5.1 sound, and supplements will include: The Making Of Atlantis; How To Speak Atlantean; Atlantis: Fact Or Fiction; and Deleted Scenes.
Suggested list price for each Blu-ray is $29.99.
