Great edition for a classic

So far I’ve collected two of the Disney Classic ‘lenticular’ steelbook editions (Snow White being the other), and so far I’m impressed. To be honest, I didn’t altogether care about the lenticular element when I was ordering, it was just the chance to pick up steelbooks of previously out-of-print titles that attracted me. Now that they’ve arrived, I count the lenticular magnet as a very nice bonus indeed where I had thought it might feel like a cheap gimmick. The lenticular magnet slots nicely into a rectangular depression on the cover of the steelbook, almost like a slot. This means that the magnet does not increase the thickness of the steelbook; it sits flush with the rest of the cover. This is crucial for those who put their steelbooks into protective covers made to fit the dimensions of a standard blu-ray. The lenticular cover looks its best when the steelbook is flat on a surface and you’re looking at it from above, and maybe from a slight angle. It gives the artwork really nice depth. And if the lenticular element is not for you, the same artwork is printed beneath the magnet and looks gorgeous without it, so you can just leave the magnet aside and still have a very nice steelbook. Oh, and the fact that the title is on the spine is the cherry on top, and I sincerely hope this will be the case for all Disney steels going forward. Really happy with the purchase - please, Zavvi, keep going with this series and make us Disney fans, if not our wallets, happy.
