We Bought A Zoo Coming To DVD And Blu-Ray 4/1

This Easter, be unpredictable, do something crazy and embrace your wild side! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents an inspiring adventure based on a true story of one man who brought a zoo back to life and family back together in We Bought A Zoo, arriving on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download April 3. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Cameron Crowe {Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire} and starring Matt Damon {Contagion, True Grit}, Scarlett Johansson {Iron Man 2, Vicky Cristina Barcelona} and Thomas Haden Church {Easy A, Sideways}, We Bought A Zoo is “a sweet-natured tale…that you’ll want to see with your kids” (Liz Braun, Jam! Movies).

 

 Benjamin Mee {Damon} is a Los Angeles newspaper columnist and adventure writer who, as a single father, faces the challenges of raising his two young children.  Hoping that a fresh start and a new life will restore their family spirit, Mee quits his job and buys an old rural house outside the city with a unique bonus feature: a zoo named the Rosemoor Animal Park, where dozens of animals reside under the care of head zookeeper Kelly Foster {Johansson} and her dedicated team.  With no experience, limited time and a shoestring budget, Mee sets out with the support of his family and the local community to reopen the zoo.  Now, Benjamin is no longer reporting an adventure story~he’s living it in his own backyard.

 

Featuring an incredible musical score composed by Jónsi of the band Sigur Rós, the We Bought A Zoo Blu-ray is loaded with over 2½ hours of special features including 20 deleted and extended scenes, a gag reel, four behind-the-scenes featurettes, commentary with Director Cameron Crowe, star J.B. Smoove {The Sitter, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”} and Editor Mark Livolsi, and more. The film also features an English Family Friendly Audio Track that earned the Dove Seal of Approval.
