We got to celebrate the upcoming release of WONDER in Digital HD & 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and DVD with my little assistant at The California Science Center Foundation in Los Angeles, California. It was a day full of activities which included roundtables with director Stephen Chbosky, SFX make-up artist Arjen Tuiten and actress Izabella Vidovic, who plays Via, August’s sister in the movie. Also, the science director of the Greater Good Science Center in Berkley (CA), Emiliana R. Simon-Thomas presented to us Choose Kind: The Science of Kindness. Ryan and all kids attending the event had the opportunity to do experiments, make slime, craft Valentine’s card, and more. To finish the day, we went inside the museum to do the Space Shuttle Endeavour Tour.
Ryan and I had a blast!!!! Let’s check it out some pictures:

About the film
The incredibly moving and heartfelt family film, WONDER, headed to Digital on January 30 and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand on February 13 from Lionsgate. Based on the #1 New York Times bestseller, and USA Today’s top-selling book of 2017, by R.J. Palacio, writer-director Stephen Chbosky (Beauty and the Beast, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) brings to life the uplifting story of a boy who inspires and teaches others that true beauty is found within. Certified Fresh™ on Rotten Tomatoes and co-written for the screen by Steven Conrad and Jack Thorne, WONDER stars Academy Award® winner Julia Roberts, Academy Award® nominee Owen Wilson, Golden Globe® nominee Mandy Patinkin, and Jacob Tremblay.
WONDER follows the inspiring story of the Pullman family, whose youngest child, Auggie, is a boy born with facial differences. When Auggie enters mainstream elementary school for the first time, his extraordinary journey unites his family, his school, and his community, and proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
The WONDER home entertainment release includes all-new special features, including a never-before-seen 5-part documentary, multiple featurettes, a music video, and an audio commentary with Stephen Chbosky and R.J. Palacio. The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray also features Dolby Vision high dynamic range (HDR), growing Lionsgate’s library of titles featuring both Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD. Dolby Vision transforms the TV experience in the home by delivering greater brightness and contrast, as well as a fuller palette of rich colors. The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray versions feature Dolby TrueHD, which provides the most authentic lossless audio experience available for the home theater. Together Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD allow consumers to experience both cutting-edge imaging and lossless audio sound technology for an immersive entertainment experience.
