Out This Week: Arco, Scarlet, Looney Tunes Cartoons and more
Welcome back to Out This Week, your weekly new release round-up. After a quiet few weeks, things have picked up a bit this week, in the US at least.
New releases this week include Oscar-nominated French sci-fi feature Arco and anime auteur Mamoru Hosoda's latest film Scartlet. Also out is the newest volume of Naruto Shippuden, anime series Maoyu and a Wallmart Exclusive edition of The Apothecary Diaries season one. Finally, arriving on Blu-Ray and DVD for the first time is the recent reboot of Looney Tunes Cartoons.
Just the one animated release in the UK this week, but it's a good 'un- Patrick McHale's modern classic mini-series Over The Garden Wall.
All information is correct to the best of our knowledge and is subject to change.
