U.S. label Shout Factory confirmed via social media today that it will work with
director Martin Rosen to deliver an extended cut of
The Plague Dogs. As a result, the label has postponed the previously announced street date of its upcoming Blu-ray release, which was February 13.
Supplemental features to be included on the release have not yet been finalized.
Synopsis A stunning animated adaptation of Richard Adams' novel, The Plague Dogs follows a pair of dogs, Snitter and Rowf, who escape from a research laboratory and try to survive in the wild with the help of a cunning fox. The lab director tries to keep their escape quiet, but as an increasing number of sheep are found killed, word leaks out … together with rumors that the dogs might be plague carriers.
