In the mystical Scottish Highlands, Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida's quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom's three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin, the surly Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall.

A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. The first Paddington in 4K, part of a 3-film collection from StudioCanal. People had been waiting for this, and the set dropped to £17 on Amazon UK. Nearly universally loved as comfort viewing. Custom steelbooks with embossing have been made because no official steelbook exists.

A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Paddington 2, which some people consider a nearly perfect film. The Paddington 2 steelbook became a weird grail because it was hard to find. Available in the 3-film collection now. Germany got the first film on 4K before the UK did.

A-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Paddington 3, and the US distribution is split across three different companies (Weinstein for 1, Warner for 2, Sony for 3), which means a US trilogy box set may never happen. The UK StudioCanal import trilogy is around $57 USD on Amazon and covers all three.
