Released alongside the standard Blu-ray and 4K edition, this limited gift set of Universal's How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is exclusive to Target stores as an in-store purchase only. There are two packaging differences here: the standard Blu- ray/DVD combo pack is tucked inside an outer box with alternate artwork, and a set of "wearable dragon wings" is also included for the kids. Though similarly priced alongside the standard Blu-ray, it's an exclusive that's clearly aimed at the younger crowd instead of serious collectors (note the lack of a 4K option).
For an overview of the film, please read my colleague Martin Liebman's reviews of both editions linked above.
For an evaluation of the video presentation, please refer to the standard Blu-ray review.
For an evaluation of the audio presentation, please refer to the standard Blu-ray review.
As there are only two cursory packaging extras exclusive to this release, they are listed below. Not surprisingly, all of the on-disc bonus features are identical to those found on Universal's standard Blu-ray edition.
Universal's How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is an excellent end to a great saga, and will be enjoyed by kids and their parents for years to come. It's well-above-average family entertainment and one of the best kid-friendly trilogies around. Universal's standard Blu-ray and 4K editions offers outstanding A/V sand a few nice on-disc extras to boot, and there's even a nifty 4K Steelbook and other exclusives floating around. Target's limited Blu-ray gift set is a passable alternative, though one aimed squarely at the younger crowd: its "wearable dragon wings" should appeal to single-digit fans, but as a whole the packaging isn't very well thought out. The flimsy outer box -- rendered useless, once you unpack this thing -- is the only time you'll see the alternate cover art, the included Blu-ray doesn't include a slipcover, and the lack of a 4K option is also disappointing. Not the most impressive store exclusive (and harder to find, since you can't order it online or via in-store pickup), but potentially worth it for the right crowd.
