Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for 1998's digitally animated film 'A Bug's Life,' the second production from Pixar. The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Green is unsurprisingly the color of choice for Disney's A Bug's Life SteelBook. The smooth, slick front and rear panels are dominantly green
which fades a bit towards center to show five characters from the film standing on a single leaf. They are, from left to right, Francis, Dot, Flick, Princess
Atta, and Heimlich. The film's debossed title appears in dark green lettering, top, accompanied by "Disney Pixar" text. The rear panel is similar save for
the absence of the title and the center image, which simply depicts a hat-tipping P.T. Flea in a spotlight. The spine is a much darker shade of green with
the film's title in a lighter green running down the center. It is also accompanied by "Disney Pixar" text. An UltraHD logo has been placed at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a green, out of focus background and three bugs peering over a leaf
that arches across the entire bottom end. Included in the shot, left to right, are Slim, Francis, and Heimlich.

Go green! A Bug's Life has received a very nice SteelBook that's plenty green and plenty attractive. As usual the back panel artwork is uninspired but the rest of it looks great. The UHD content, particularly the HDR-enhanced 2160p video, is good, too. Highly recommended.
