Disney Home Entertainment has officially announced that two beloved Robin Williams classics will be available to own for the first time on 4K UHD Blu-Ray. Making their 4K UHD Blu-Ray and 4K Digital debuts, Dead Poets Society and Mrs. Doubtfire will be available on physical media on September 29, 2026. The original negatives for both films were scanned at 4K resolution and restored in High Dynamic Range (HDR). Spanning heartfelt drama and laugh-out-loud comedy, Dead Poets Society and Mrs. Doubtfire respectively showcase the remarkable range that made Williams one of the most legendary actors of his generation.
In 1989’s Dead Poets Society, directed by Peter Weir, Williams assumed the role of James Keating, an unconventional English professor who uses poetry to inspire his students to “Carpe Diem!” The iconic performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Upon its release, critics and audiences revered the movie as compelling and inspirational.
Four years later, Williams transformed into the unforgettable Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire in Mrs. Doubtfire, earning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. The film, directed by Chris Columbus, became an instant classic, blending comedy with emotional depth, and delivered a timeless story that continues to entertain and resonate with the whole family.
The 4K Ultra HD releases will feature new key art for both titles, and Mrs. Doubtfire fans will delight in collectible 4K UHD physical packaging that showcases dual art of Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire on the outer sleeve, with a playful reveal of his character Daniel Hillard underneath. Both 4K UHD Blu-Ray releases will feature Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio. Get details on these releases below!
Dead Poets Society
Synopsis: For generations, Welton Academy students have been groomed to live lives of conformity and tradition–until new professor John Keating (Robin Williams) inspires them to think for themselves, live life to the fullest and “Carpe Diem.” This unconventional approach awakens the spirits of the students, but draws the wrath of a disapproving faculty when an unexpected tragedy strikes the school. With unforgettable characters and beautiful cinematography, Dead Poets Society will captivate and inspire you time and time again.
