Disney and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for 2016's digitally animated film 'Moana.' 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.

Moana's SteelBook is an exercise in contrast. The front panel is of a predominately white background color. The film's title, along with "Disney,"
appears at the top, center, in a deep blue color. The film's title proper is debossed. Below is a rather large depiction of Moana and Maui, the former
wielding a paddle and the latter resting a large, curved weapon above his shoulder. A flowing bend of water wraps around the characters. The rear panel
is a beautiful contrasting blue, a large ocean wave that fills the entire panel. In the center is complex artwork from the film, debossed. A copyright
notice and a model number appear unobtrusively in white at the bottom. The spine carries over the rear panel's watery blue. The film's title (plus
"Disney") appears center in white. An UltraHD logo, also in white, may be seen at the top while a white Disney logo appears at the bottom. The smooth
and glossy front and rear panels will attract and show fingerprints.
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 a sunset background. In the foreground are ships sailing calm waters
headed left to right.

Moana is one of Disney's best contemporary films and the studio has released the film to the UHD format in a very handsome SteelBook. The dominance of white and blue colors offer an eye-popping contrast between front and back. The inner panel is a little routine but effective. The on-disc content is terrific, particularly the stunning HDR color application. Highly recommended.
