Disney has once again partnered with Best Buy to offer an exclusive SteelBook edition of Elemental. The disc contents are the same as both Disney's Wal-Mart Edition (with a lenticular cover) and their Disney Movie Club Edition.

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. The SteelBook offers a fun front panel image of Wade and Ember in front of Element City, just about to touch for the first time. The back panel offers a fun glyph of a flame with a water droplet inside. The sixth and seventh photos show how the discs are stacked and the inside imagery. As with the other 4K releases, a digital copy is included.
Some who share my interest in ancient philosophies will know that some occult strands actually posited a fifth element, namely ether (often thought of as spirit), an element which actually gave birth to the term quintessential, and in that regard, as well intentioned and often brilliant as Elemental is, it may be lacking just a bit of that all important item. Lovers of inventive animation and nicely immersive sound design should still find this a delight for the senses, if not always for the intellect and/or heart. Technical merits are first rate, especially in this 4K UHD version, and the supplements appealing. A nicely designed SteelBook should be appreciated by collectors of this packaging. Recommended.
