The new 4K Ultra HD set packs more than nine hours of extras, six of them never seen before. It also has an English Family Audio Track with "all objectionable language removed."
Pandora is getting a bigger box. Disney will release a new Collector's Edition of James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash on 4K Ultra HD and Digital on Tuesday, Dec. 8, Geek Vibes Nation reported Wednesday, Nov. 11, from Disney's announcement.
The set comes with more than nine hours of bonus features, and over six hours of that is footage nobody has seen before, according to Disney's details.
The extra most parents will care about is the English Family Audio Track, which Disney describes as having "all objectionable language removed." That makes the third Avatar a little easier to put on for a family movie night with younger kids in the room.
When does the Avatar: Fire and Ash collector's edition come out?
The Collector's Edition arrives Dec. 8, 2026, on 4K Ultra HD and Digital. That's in time for Christmas, and almost exactly a year after the movie hit theaters.
The 4K disc has Dolby Vision picture and Dolby Atmos sound, per Disney.
Pricing and retailer exclusives (like a steelbook) weren't in Disney's announcement as reported. A standard 3-disc 4K Ultra HD set with a bonus disc is already sold at Target and Walmart, according to the movie's official site, Avatar.com.
What's in the Avatar: Fire and Ash collector's edition?
The new material is the headline. Here's the all-new lineup, per Disney's list:
Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films: a two-episode documentary
Stephen Lang "Infinite Space": a featurette with the actor who plays Quaritch
12 deleted and extended scenes, including "Selfridge's Arrival," "The Coming of Age Ceremony" and an "Alternative Ardmore Death"
9 performance capture side-by-sides, including "Beach Standoff" and "Tsireya Tells Lo'ak about Payakan"
5 scene deconstructions, including "Varang's Fire Dance and Sullys' Escape" and "Kiri Learns She is Eywa's Child"
2 performance capture demos filmed at Manhattan Beach Studios
Awards panels with the cast, department heads and the music team, plus a Q&A with Miley Cyrus
"Gone with the Wind TrAIders" crew short
Two extras are physical only: the script and production art archives. If you want those, skip the digital copy and buy the disc.
What other bonus features are on the disc?
Disney also listed these:
English Family Audio Track, with objectionable language removed
Igniting the Flame: The Making of Avatar: Fire and Ash, a featurette series
Jon Landau Tribute, honoring the late Avatar producer, with memories from cast and crew
RDA Orientation, tutorial videos on the Na'vi language and the clans of Pandora
"Dream as One" music video from Miley Cyrus, the movie's end-credits song
Two theatrical trailers
The RDA Orientation videos might be the sneaky kid favorite. They teach Na'vi words, which is a fun way to spend the drive to Animal Kingdom.
What is Avatar: Fire and Ash about?
Disney's synopsis picks up with Jake and Neytiri guiding their family through grief. They travel with the nomadic Wind Traders across Pandora's skies.
Their new enemy is the Ash People, a clan led by Varang that has turned against Eywa. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet return. The movie earned two Academy Award nominations, according to Avatar.com.
It's from 20th Century Studios, which Disney owns, so this is a Disney home release.
Where can Disney fans see Avatar in the parks?
Pandora: The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom has Avatar Flight of Passage and the Na'vi River Journey. After nine hours of extras, the banshee ride may feel like a field trip.
On the West Coast, Disneyland Resort's planned Avatar project got pushed back by a Tomorrowland reimagining, we reported in September.
