Some of you will know me from the NZ iTunes Store thread. I am retired and I live in Christchurch.

Over the years I collected hundreds of Blu-ray SteelBooks and standard Blu-ray releases (not to mention hundreds of DVD's before that) from all over the world.

I have sold many of my discs to other collector's, and now I concentrate mainly on digital releases from iTunes. I believe that physical media will be around for a while yet, and so, as I have a lot of spare time these days, I am going to start a thread reporting new 4K UHD Blu-ray releases in NZ.

Most will be new titles, with the occasional studio catalogue 4K remaster. I thank various online websites for the information included here. I will attempt to display prices and information for each entry as on the JB Hi-Fi NZ website, Blu-ray.com, Letterboxd and various other websites. I find JB to be cheaper than Mighty Ape (except for occasional sale items). Shipping from JB is $1.50 per title, and free pickup from any of their physical stores.

Without further ado, let's get on with the first entry. 😀

THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE: Power Up Edition (2023) $39.98: SteelBook Edition also available $59.98

For the first time, the iconic global entertainment brands Illumination and Nintendo join forces to create The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a new, big-screen adventure starring one of pop culture’s most prominent plumbers of the past four decades.

Based on the world of Nintendo’s Mario games, the film invites audiences into a vibrant, thrilling new universe unlike any created before in an action-packed, exuberant cinematic comedy event.

While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers Mario and brother Luigi are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi. With the assistance of a Mushroom Kingdom resident Toad and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach, Mario taps into his own power.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie features an extraordinary comedic cast, including Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike, plus a special voice appearance by Charles Martinet, who has voiced the characters of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario games for more than 30 years.
