Two young boys experience an unforgettable summer on the Italian Riviera filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. But all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.

Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for Pixar's 'Luca.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

The Luca SteelBook is smooth and glossy and will show some handling fingerprints, even considering the lighter colors. On the front is a
predominantly blue, relaxing scene depicting Luca floating in water. His backside, submerged, is fishy; his top half, above the water, is human. Blue
waters, a blue sky, a few clouds and birds, and a couple of land masses on the center right and left sides fill the scene. The film's title, debossed,
appears top center in white with "Disney Pixar" text. The rear panel features human Luca and Alberto, along with Giulia, in the town. Luca is holding a
book, Alberto a ladle, and Giulia a basket full of fish. Beyond the town setting, with a tree and structure on the right hand side, is more beautiful blue
water and sky. The spine is an offsetting orange color. The film's title appears as it does on the front, centered, while an UltraHD logo has been placed
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 Luca on the left and Alberto on the right. Between them is a crude
makeshift Vespa. Behind them are trees and, in the distance, blue water and sky.

This is a calming SteelBook. It's colorful, simple, very well done inside and out, easily capturing the movie's tone if only hinting at the full story. The film is OK, the UHD visuals are great, and the audio is fine if not almost exclusively front heavy. Recommended.
