Ultra HD Blu-ray Movie Reviews

Generation after generation has fallen in love with Walt Disney’s iconic animated masterpiece, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Its story of love and friendship follows the beautiful and kindhearted princess Snow White, who charms every creature in the kingdom except one, her jealous stepmother the queen, who has it in for her after the Magic Mirror proclaims that Snow White is the fairest one of all. Forced to flee into the forest, Snow White meets and wins the hearts of seven diminutive miners and ultimately triumphs over the wicked queen.

Together, these are arguably the most grown-up entries in the Pixar canon, not for any sort of overly mature content, but rather for their sophisticated themes and storytelling. And Soul might be the most adult-skewing: It's the longest of the three, exploring The Great Hereafter and even "The Great Before," namely where souls originate prior to their arrival on Earth. This concept requires quite a bit of exposition, and it's executed masterfully by Docter, co-writer/co-director Kemp Powers, and co-writer Mike Jones, through bold visuals and pithy gags.

Only a few moments into Across the Spider-Verse’s two-hour-and-20-minute runtime, we can begin to understand why this sequel to 2018’s Oscar-winning Into the Spider-Verse took almost five years to arrive. Dramatically bold and visually (and sonically) fearless, the movie is exhausting in the best possible sense, inviting the audience along on a mind-boggling adventure and daring us to keep up.
