I&#8217;m not sure why Disney chose to position this as a direct sequel rather than a remake when, from all appearances, it&#8217;s almost the exact same movie, just with less memorable songs. Most critics found it charming enough, if redundant, and the film made good money with family audiences. Now it&#8217;s on disc in 1080p or 4k, with SteelBooks for both formats at Best Buy or a Target exclusive (4k only) that comes with a photo book.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Following three live-action versions in the last 15 years and his appearances in the <em>Avengers<\/em> movies, you&#8217;d think we might have hit the point of Spider-Man oversaturation by now. Apparently not. The world just can&#8217;t get enough of the amazing web-slinger. The animated feature introduces a multiverse of new spider-folk and combines a kaleidoscopic variety of animation styles. The film was shepherded by <em>Lego Movie<\/em> masterminds Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who couldn&#8217;t direct because they were supposed to have their hands full doing <em>Star Wars<\/em>. That may not have worked out for them, but, as producers of this, they can console themselves with an Oscar win for Best Animated Feature. Beloved by critics and audiences, the movie hits disc in a host of retailer exclusives at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart \u2013 not a damn one of which offers the movie in 3D. I hear the 3D for this was really good<s>, but sadly, you can&#8217;t even get it in that format overseas<\/s>. Strike that last part. Apparently, the movie will be released in 3D <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com.au\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B07MWZ5NZJ\/panandscathed-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">in Australia<\/a>, in France (where it&#8217;s known as <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.fr\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B07LBLH8G2\/panandscathed-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spider-Man: New Generation<\/a><\/em>), and in Germany (where it&#8217;s called <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B07KZBRYM3\/panandscathed-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spider-Man: A New Universe<\/a><\/em>). The French edition looks to be the most comprehensive package with Blu-ray, 3D, and UHD.
