Monsters University 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

A relaxing aqua green color awaits buyers of the Monsters University SteelBook. It's the predominant front and rear (glossy, slick) color. It grows lighter towards center on the front to depict a dorm room scene featuring a bunk bed with a relaxed Sulley on top and an annoyed Mike on the bottom. There are some odds and ends on the floor, like a rug, some books, a pencil, and crumpled paper. The film's debossed title appears top in MU blue, accompanied by "Disney Pixar" text. The rear side is similar in terms of color. In the middle, in a white spot that almost looks like the color has simply been erased, is a Monsters U pennant. Small copyright and model numbers appear bottom left and right, respectively, in white letters. The spine is an offsetting dark blue color. The film's title appears center, also in blue and outlined in white to stand apart against the similar background color. It is accompanied by "Disney Pixar." An UltraHD logo appears at the bottom.

Inside, the Digital copy floats; there are no tabs to hold it down. One disc appears on its own hub left and the others on the right in staggered-stacked formation where the top disc partially slides underneath the bottom disc's spindle. The inner print is a two panel spread that depicts Sulley sitting on the floor against a wall, far left, looking at Mike, standing on the right. The two are shaking hands. Bookshelves and books appear behind them.

Monsters University 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

This and the Monsters, Inc. SteelBooks are very nice. The colors are just right and the debossed lettering is a nice touch. The rear panel images are a bit boring, but such is life with Disney SteelBooks. The on-disc content is fairly good, too. Highly recommended.
