The combination of filmmaker Wes Anderson and The Criterion Collection has always felt like peanut butter and chocolate, after the psychical media distributor being one of the few places to buy home copies of Anderson’s older work and they’re about to release a mega-collection with “The Wes Anderson Archive In 4K: Ten Films, Twenty-Five Years.”
This elite box set of director-approved 4K restorations features Anderson’s “Bottle Rocket,” “Rushmore,” “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,” “The Darjeeling Limited,” “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “Moonrise Kingdom,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Isle of Dogs,” and “The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun.”

Quite a group of movies, as there is plenty of entertainment value here, the upcoming set allows buyers to experience twenty-five years of Anderson’s work, which sees him moving between live-action stories and top-tier stop-motion animation.
Below is the official announcement for the release:
Wes Anderson’s first ten films represent twenty-five years of irrepressible creativity, an ongoing ode to outsiders and quixotic dreamers, and a world unto themselves, graced with a mischievous wit and a current of existential melancholy that flows through every captivating frame. This momentous twenty-disc collector’s set includes new 4K masters of the films, over twenty-five hours of special features, and ten illustrated books, presented in a deluxe clothbound edition.
You’ll be getting both 4K UHD and Blu-Ray copies of those 10 films, and since a bulk of the earlier Anderson films can only be purchased through Criterion, the box set should be super convenient for folks trying to complete their Anderson home video collections.
A teaser video for the announcement of “The Wes Anderson Archive In 4K” can be viewed below.
