MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT TO DROP ULTRAMAN TARO STEELBOOK AND STANDARD BLU-RAY RELEASE JANUARY 12th, 2021!
The sixth classic ULTRAMAN series gets its North American, high-definition debut!
Mill Creek Entertainment is pleased to announce the next release from the Ultraman superhero library! ULTRAMAN TARO will arrive on Blu-ray as both a special edition SteelBook for $55.99 and in standard packaging for $45.99 on January 12th, 2021. This release denotes the North American debut of the series, which has never been broadcast on TV or available on any home entertainment format.
This exciting debut comes off the back of Mill Creek Entertainment’s license of the entire available Ultraman back-catalogue via international distribution company Indigo Entertainment, from the revolutionary team at Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd.
ULTRAMAN TARO is the sixth entry in the Ultraman series, premiering in Japan in April 1973. After being scouted to the Earth defense team ZAT (Zariba of All Territory), young boxer Kotaro Higashi is severely injured during a Kaiju attack. At the chasm between life and death, Mother of Ultra appeared and saved Kotaro by merging his life with a young Ultra Hero, thus giving birth to the sixth Ultra Brother… Ultraman Taro!
ULTRAMAN TARO took a kid-friendly approach, introducing several new monsters and aliens inspired by folklore. Classic Ultra Heroes like Ultraman, Ultraseven and Zoffy also return to assist the powerful but inexperienced Taro as he learns the ropes of being an Ultra Brother. The SteelBook and standard Blu-ray releases of ULTRAMAN TARO will each contain stunning high definition video for all 53 half-hour episodes with DTS-HD Master Audio of the original Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles. Digital redemption will also be available via Mill Creek Entertainment’s streaming service, movieSPREE.
