S-Tier Laika 4K. Shout Factory's steelbook release of the Laika stop-motion films has been well-received, and people who loved Coraline's 4K immediately asked for Kubo. The steelbooks have been as low as $18.63 USD each. The stop-motion detail is the kind of thing that rewards a 4K presentation, and this one scores a perfect 5.0 overall.

Shout Factory 4K of the Coens' love letter to old Hollywood. Deakins cinematography is the reason to own this, and the HDR pass brings out the Technicolor-homage color work in the dance numbers. The B2G1 at Target is how most people picked this up.
