Any eighties kid is going to be excited, and perhaps a little shocked, to learn that August 2^nd sees the release of the 25 year anniversary Blu-Ray and DVD version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

It is hard to believe that it is 25 years since writer/director John Hughes gave us Ferris Bueller. To celebrate the occasion Paramount is releasing an anniversary version.

The anniversary version features special packaging and graphics as well as in-depth bonus material and features to take viewers behind the scenes and get a whole new perspective on this eighties classic.

The charming comedy centers around Matthew Broderick as a high school student and his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and best bud Cameron (Alan Ruck), who ditch school to enjoy one perfect day as a kid with no responsibilities. The audience strap themselves in to enjoy Ferris’ wild adventures in the Windy City during a single, glorious day off.

Today, 25 years later, the movie continues to be enjoyed, quoted and revered with more than a few people still boasting a “Save Ferris” t-shirt in the wardrobe.

The package comes with added features such as Getting the Class Together- The Cast of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; The Making of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; Who is Ferris Bueller?; The World According to Ben Stein; Vintage Ferris Bueller: The Lost Tapes and Class Album.

For a trip down memory lane to a time when life was so much simpler and responsibilities were there to be shirked – revisit Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
