Lightyear 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Disney has done a great job on this SteelBook. The front and rear panels are smooth, and grayscale is the predominant color scheme. The front panel depicts Buzz walking down a runway; the background is soft and hazy, but one can clearly make out some of the core location details. There is some color on the familiarly designed space suit, including a few lights on the chest, but there is very little bright output; much of the suit is in shadow or dominated by the grayscale. The film's title appears at the bottom, accompanied by "Disney Pixar" text. The film's title proper is debossed. The rear panel is also very gray; it depicts a ship blasting off, seen from distance. The ship is center, and a fairly large sky expanse fills much of the panel; the launch site fills the bottom-third. The spine is gray (darker in the middle). The film's title, as it appears on the front (minus the debossing) appears center. An UltraHD logo appears at the top.

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 Sox and Buzz on the left inside the cockpit of a spaceship. Part of Buzz's spacesuit spills over to the right-hand side; the rest of the right is filled with background detail in the cockpit. Colors are not overtly vibrant here but far more so than the front and rear panels.

Lightyear 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

What a great SteelBook! It's tonally spot-on, it's subtle in its attractiveness, and it's a worthy addition to every Pixar and SteelBook collection. Recommended.
