Despicable Me 4 (Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Crime, Family)

One of the summer’s biggest blockbusters, “Despicable Me 4” is now available to own and rent on Digital from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment — even as Gru and his Minions continue to pack theaters.

The world’s favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain-League-agent returns for a bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination’s “Despicable Me 4.” Gru (voiced by Steve Carell, “The Office”), Lucy (voiced by Kristen Wiig, “Saturday Night Live”) and their girls welcome a new member to the family — Gru Jr. — who is intent on tormenting his dad as a new nemesis shows up and forces the family to go on the run.

The latest chapter in the biggest global animated franchise in history is not only packed with nonstop action, but also filled with Illumination’s signature subversive humor. Viewers who purchase or rent “Despicable Me 4” on Digital will have access to two never-before-seen Minion Mini-Movies as well. In “Game Over and Over,” the mischievous Minions discover the ability to control one another when they stumble upon a powered-up game controller inside Gru’s lair, unleashing mayhem as they compete for high scores. Then in “Benny’s Birthday,” Benny the Minion finds himself trapped in a time loop of a Minion-style birthday party, encountering uproarious mischief at every turn.

Inside Out 2 (Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Drama, Family)

Make room for new emotions when Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” arrives on Digital Tuesday, Aug. 20. The highest-grossing animated film of all time also debuts on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, Sept. 10.

“Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley (voiced by Kensington Tallman, “Home Sweet Rome!”) just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler, “Parks and Recreation”), Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith, “The Office”), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black, “Man of the Year”), Fear (voiced by Tony Hale, “Arrested Development”) and Disgust (voiced by Liza Lapira, “21”), who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety (voiced by Maya Hawke, “Stranger Things”) shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone.

Viewers can continue the emotional roller coaster at home with exclusive bonus content, including an all-new documentary, “New Emotions,” that covers the process of creating Anxiety, Embarrassment (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser, “Richard Jewell”), Ennui (voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos, “Blue is the Warmest Colour”) and Envy (voiced by Ayo Edebiri, “The Bear”). There’s also a visual commentary, “Unlocking the Vault,” that takes a deeper look at “The Vault” scene in the movie, an alternative opening where a now 13-year-old Riley awkwardly fumbles her way through an original song she wrote for a school audition, and four deleted scenes (“Broken Joy,” “Pool Party,” “Puberty Park” and “Shame Spiral”).
