Moana is a beautiful movie, both visually and in its story. The scenery and animation are gorgeous, and the story is compelling. Moana is about a young island chieftan's headstrong daughter, whose journey to save her people from a curse slowly consuming the world leads her to rediscover her people's roots and right some age-old wrongs. Highly recommended!

The packaging on this 3D Blu-ray is a huge step up from previous Marvel 3D releases, and I hope this trend continues in future releases! The slipcover is made of plastic with a clear cut-out showing off the backside of one of the Blu-ray/DVD discs inside, helping to create an image of a glowing portal behind Strange. The combo pack comes with a nice lenticular, making for a nice bonus add-on. The 3D in the movie itself is also stunning and really add to the experience, especially in some of the more mind-bending, trippy scenes. If you're debating between the 2D and 3D versions of this movie, take my advice and pay the extra $$ for the 3D version. You won't regret it!

Doctor Strange is a visually spell-binding (no pun intended) movie, and this steelbook is a perfect visual complement for the movie's aesthetics. The design is based off the magical tomes shown in the movie, with the Eye of Agamotto on the cover. Although the case could use a little more embossing/debossing, the case is still visually striking. The metallic sheen of the borders create a sense of brushed bronze, while the multi-colored swirl centered on the Eye creates a vortex of mystical energy. All in all, a highly recommended purchase for fans of Doctor Strange and steelbooks alike!

Disney hits it out of the park again with another fun, heart-warming and beautifully-animated film that is appropriate for audiences of all ages. This film goes a little deeper than you might be expect from a Disney film (where the main message always seems to be some variant of "love trumps all"), where the main characters have to overcome prejudice and and a rigid social hierarchy in order to reach their true potential and fulfill their dreams. This a fun and inspiring film that is well worth many rewatches.

A fun superhero flick (although not as cohesively written as Civil War, which also had to juggle a ton of characters), with amazing video and audio quality on the UHD disc.

Gorgeous artwork and a lovely matte finish on the steelbook cover. The artwork on the back takes advantage of the metallic sheen of the steelbook shell to make the sparks coming out of Iron Man's repulsors and reflecting off of Captain America's shield come alive, which is a nice touch.

Spirited Away draws the audience into an exotic magical world filled with spirits from Japanese mythology while following the main character's journey of growth and self-discovery. A great film for all ages, although some of the spirits and their actions may be more frightening for small kids. Highly recommended!

Miyazaki's adaptation of the book by the same name is beautifully animated with lots of charm and heart. The Blu-ray presentation is gorgeous and also comes with subtitles rather than the infamous "dubtitles." Add this film to your collection today, if you haven't already!

Definitely one of the surprise hits of the summer! A fun origin movie and great addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that also works well as a standalone action/comedy family movie. Paul Rudd is winning as an affable, well-meaning ex-con who is willing to do anything to be there for his daughter. His journey to becoming a hero was fun to watch, and the story and characters are filled with a lot of heart and humor that feel more relatable than in some of the other recent Marvel movies. I would rank this as one of Marvel's best movies so far, up there with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man 1. Don't let the seemingly contrived premise (a superhero who shrinks to the size of an ant) deter you from enjoying this great film!
