The Lion King (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Best Buy Exclusive) [USA]
- Thread starter candyman
- Start date
Really not crazy about that artwork. Out of all the Lion King steelbooks that have been released, this is by far the most BLAH.
everytime i see this thread's thumbnail i keep thinking "what the hell is "HON KING"?"
I don't deny that the artwork leaves something to be desired, but I missed the previous releases so I will be grabbing one of these when they are available. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a U.S. wave of Disney titles from Best Buy - and just as hopefully, maybe they will spend additional time on the cover designs for that wave.
But it's glossed!!! What more do you want? Embossing?!!!
Art no longer matters these days. It's all about gloss!!!

What matters most on steels for me:
1. Art/colors
2. Gloss/finish (zero finish can be used well)
3. Embossing/debossing
If there weren't a fabulous digibook being offered for Lion King's latest re-release I'd be with you there. But why'd they choose a black background for the steel?? The digibook's beautiful and features Pride Rock and a few other characters like Timon and Pumbaa. I'm hoping for all of you guys getting this one that it looks fantastic in hand, I'm not sure there's been a Lion King steel released in the US before!
It is a strange looking steelbook I admit and I'm not sure if The Lion King has been released in Canada before.
If it was, it was before my steelbook collecting time.
I often see people complaining that Canada doesn't receive enough Disney steelbooks.
Just a couple of examples that Canada didn't receive are Moana and Finding Dory.
Even stranger is the fact that the Best Buy Canada site still doesn't have an official artwork showing for the Lion King. But it is most likely the same as the US version.
They're still showing this!

That HONKING is what you hear while standing in the middle of the street staring at the front of this in your hand.
Hopefully it isn't followed by
Full gloss steel
Debossed title and has that "pop" effect lol
Looks a lot better in hand, but not a fan of the artwork. $24.99 price is good so I expect a sellout.
