'Secret of Moonacre' On DVD/Blu-ray in September

The fantasy adventure The Secret of Moonacre will be released on DVD and Blu-ray September 21 from Entertainment One.
Secret of Moonacre [Blu-ray]The world of Moonacre Valley comes to life in the film directed by Emmy Award-winner Gabor Csupo (Bridge to Terabithia, creator of Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys). The film is based on Elizabeth Goudge’s Carnegie Medal-winning novel The Little White Horse, which Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling called  a "favorite childhood book." 
Moonacre is a magical world inhabited by outlandish characters and mythical beasts with the able assistance of a first-rate cast including Dakota Blue Richards(The Golden Compass), Juliet Stevenson (Triage, Bend It Like Beckham), Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Charlie’s Angels), Natascha McElhone (Californication, The Truman Show) and Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four, King Arthur).
As the synopsis says, "When 13-year-old Maria Merryweather's (Richards) father dies, she is left orphaned and homeless, forced to leave her luxurious London home to go and live at the mysterious Moonacre Manor with Sir Benjamin (Gruffudd), an eccentric uncle she didn't know she had.  Soon Maria finds herself in a crumbling moonlit world torn apart by a hatred borne of an ancient feud with the dark and sinister De Noir family.  Maria discovers that she is the last Moon Princess and, guided by an unlikely mix of allies, she must unearth the secrets of her past before the 5000th moon rises and Moonacre disappears into the sea forever."
The Secret of Moonacre is Dove and Kids First!-approved and includes 90 minutes of bonus features including an on-set  “making-of” featurette, deleted scenes, cast and crew interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.  The film was shown as an exclusive one-night-only premiere on 75 screens across the country in August.
