How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Best Buy's exclusive SteelBook features a well conceived and executed front image. It depicts an older, bearded Hiccup riding atop Toothless. They are
skimming the water. Hiccup's left hand is running through it. Toothless' shadow rides the water's surface and its rider is reflected in the water as a
young version of the film's hero as he appeared in the original picture. There is no text on the front cover. The rear panel features Hiccup in a heroic
pose in the film's lower half, slightly off center. A beautiful dusk sky appears above him. Toothless stands behind wrapped around his body so the
creature's head is gazing up at its rider and friend. New Berk appears in the mist to the right and a few dragons can be seen flying through the sky
above. Studio logos, some legalese, and a model number appear at the bottom. The spine is a flat black color with the film's title in small red or white
letters; they are nearly microscopic save for the word "Dragon." A DreamWorks logo appears at the bottom. The front and rear panels are made of a
flat, glossy, smooth material; they will attract fingerprints.
Inside, the digital copy code and a flyer advertising a free movie-themed mobile game are 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 Toothless and
the Light Fury flying through he Hidden World. Toothless's torso is firmly on the left with a wingspan that stretches almost to the right edge. The Light
Fury is situated more in the middle. Hiccup is riding (standing on) his dragon, pointing towards on off-image landmark or character.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
The movie is terrific and the SteelBook looks great. The art is beautiful and the front image is particularly memorable. It matches up well with the other
two SteelBooks in the series. The on-disc A/V and supplemental contents are first-rate. Very highly recommended.
