JUNGLE CRUISE SAILS ONTO DIGITAL

 Walt Disney Studios provided this dad blogger with a free digital code for Jungle Cruise

Don't take me wrong, I'm geeked about the current age of superhero and science fiction movies that we're living in; but I also feel like we are missing out on the adventure films that us Generation Xers grew up with in the '80s. Flicks like Crocodile Dundee, the Goonies, Indiana Jones, King's Solomon's Mines, and Romancing the Stone took us on light-hearted, fast paced adventures that made for great Saturday afternoons at the movies. So it is exciting for me as a dad, to be departing on a new adventure, like the the ones I enjoyed so much as a kid myself, in watching Disney's JUNGLE CRUISE with my tween aged son and daughter.

The adventure movie JUNGLE CRUISE is now available to purchase on Digital and will be available to buy on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD starting November 16. We are still staying clear of theaters due to COVID, so my family is so geeked to be able to watch JUNGLE CRUISE on Digital for a movie night during this upcoming weekend courtesy of Walt Disney Studios. We are all curious how one of our favorite rides at Walt Disney World will fare being adapted to a movie but are all optimistic that we are going to be having an exciting adventurous cruise in store for us.

Seeking an ancient tree with healing abilities, Dr. Lily Houghton and wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff team up for the adventure-of-a lifetime on Disney’s JUNGLE CRUISE, a rollicking ride down the Amazon. Amidst danger and supernatural forces lurking in the jungle, secrets of the lost tree unfold as their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.

In addition to this exciting story, the home entertainment release of JUNGLE CRUISE includes a variety of bonus material:

● Jungle Cruise Expedition Mode – Climb aboard a ramshackle tramp steamer (or your own couch) to learn fun facts, discover Easter eggs and catch some pop-up trivia throughout the movie.
