Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for the cherished 1992 animated film 'Aladdin.' This is another in Disney's "Disney 100" line of UHD SteelBook re-releases. The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. Note that this is the second UHD SteelBook release for the film; the previous version released in conjunction with the film's UHD debut in September 2019. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Disney has released Aladdin as part of its line of "Disney 100" UHD SteelBook re-releases. The front and rear panels are smooth and
predominantly silver, which is reflective and attractive. These areas will
show a little bit
of fingerprinting. Center is a small, vertically oriented rectangular image featuring a hand-drawn Genie, playfully smiling, looking to his left and down,
with a
gray background behind him. Above,
center, is a debossed "Disney 100" logo. Below is the film's title, again with "Disney" accompaniment, but it is neither embossed nor
debossed. The rear panel is entirely silver with the exception of a small debossed Genie lamp, centered. The spine is very cool. It, too, is
silver,
with
the film's title center, a Disney Blu-ray logo at the top, and a Disney 100 logo at the bottom. The Disney 100 logo is also spaced throughout the
length
of the spine in a light gray accent color.
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 the Genie on the left, looking adoringly from the clouds as Jasmine
and Aladdin ride the magic carpet on the right. The moon is firmly fixed behind Aladdin and Jasmine, filling up the space where the disc sits. Very
impressively designed!

This is a nice SteelBook that is obviously, this is aimed at serious Disney collectors who will enjoy a full shelf of these silvery beauties and it will more than likely look great when it's matched with more of the future releases. Recommended.
