‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ 80th Anniversary Box Set Includes 4K Remaster, Limited-Edition Keepsakes

Released in December 1946, the Christmas fantasy film is now regarded as one of the best movies of all time.

It’s been eight decades since Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life made its way into theaters, introducing audiences to the Christmas fantasy film that is now regarded as one of the best movies of all time.

Now, Paramount Pictures is celebrating the 80th anniversary of the holiday classic with a limited-edition box set that includes a physical version of the film in 4K Ultra HD quality, along with special keepsakes and merch.

AMAZON EXCLUSIVE

It’s A Wonderful Life (80th Anniversary Deluxe Gift Set)

$114.99

The It’s a Wonderful Life 80th Anniversary Deluxe Gift Set features the film on Blu-ray/DVD, with a digitally restored and remastered black and white version, along with a colorized version. Each disc also offers exclusive behind-the-scenes content, including a “making of” featurette, a look at the cast wrap party, and the original trailer. Your purchase also includes a code to download a digital version of the film that you can stream online.

Perhaps most appealing to movie buffs and collectors though, is the limited-edition merch included in the set. The items include a commemorative stocking holder, archival photographs from the set, and a 200-page keepsake book written by Jimmy Hawkins, who memorably played George Bailey’s son Tommy in the 1946 film.

Everything is housed in a specially-designed gift box that features the characters of George and Mary (played by Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, respectively) in their now-iconic pose of Mary being lifted in the air. The inside of the box is inscribed with the famous line George says to Mary as they walk home after a party: “You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.”

Pre-order the It’s a Wonderful Life 80th anniversary box set for $114.99 now on Amazon. You can also get the three-disc set without the gifts for $84.99 here. This is an Amazon exclusive so the only place to buy the anniversary set is through the retailer.

Released in December 1946, It’s a Wonderful Life tells the story of George Bailey, who contemplates ending his life on Christmas Eve. But just as he is about to jump from a bridge, he encounters his guardian angel, Clarence, who begins to show George just how beloved and important he is, and what life would be like without him.
