Here are this week's hottest home video releases:
Gravity Falls: The Complete Series
The beloved 2012-2016 Disney Channel animated series explores an oddball Oregon town filled with strange characters -- sort of "Twin Peaks" on training wheels. Alex Hirsch, Jason Ritter, Kristen Schaal and Linda Cardellini make up the main voice cast, and a stream of steady guest stars includes Will Forte, Mark Hamill, Nathan Fillion and J.K. Simmons. All 40 episodes are included in the set, which also boasts audio commentaries, deleted scenes, making-of featurettes and promo videos.
Ready Player One
Steven Spielberg directs a thrilling, mind-bending plunge into a virtual reality social network futurescape. Adapted from the Ernest Cline novel, the film tells the story of a teen hacker (Tye Sheridan) who seeks to win a contest that will grant him control of the virtual universe. Spellbinding effects merge with masterful storytelling to craft one of the best films of the year so far. For my full review, click here. Extras include a look at 1980s pop culture that inspired the film, character featurettes and a look inside the effects.
Studios provided review screeners.
