4K UHD Steelbook Review: “Paprika.” In the world of animation, there are well-known names like Walt Disney (“Steamboat Willie”) and Matt Groening (“The Simpsons;” “Futurama”), niche names like Rebecca Sugar (“Steven Universe”), and then there are names so large that they crafted entire houses around their vision like Hayao Miyazaki (“The Boy and the Heron”) and Satoshi Kon. The latter only directed four films and a television series before his passing in 2010, but the mark Kon has made on cinema is indelible. Now, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) seeks to honor Kon’s last picture which is considered among the greats in animation, the 2006 science fiction thriller “Paprika (パプリカ),” via a brand-new limited edition steelbook with a 4K UHD video remaster and Dolby Atmos 7.1 remixed audio track that also includes a new restoration featurette and all prior legacy features. With the acclaim so great for Kon’s “Paprika,” can the restoration hold up to the expectation? Available on 4K UHD Blu-ray Combo Steelbook February 20th, 2024.
