Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had not seen this movie in some time, and I have an older copy on DVD. I'm happy I bought this steelbook, as the blu ray and 4K disks are very nice updates. The artwork on the steelbook is great as well!

I really enjoyed this one with the late John Belushi. Looks and sounds good on the 4K UHD format! Nice slipcover, 4K, Blu-ray, and digital copy here. Check out The Blues Brothers as well on 4K with John and Dan. Brilliant.

Glad to see Best Buy carrying the classics! Great movie and in great condition!

Animal House is a great film in any format but in 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray it's a must have! I got mine before they were gone!

A cult classic film with incredible packaging. Pick it up if you can.

Movie looks and soumds great definitely worth the price of admission for this one

One of the most politically incorrect movies ever made. And it is hilarious.

Old school college comedy gold. Modern comedies can't compare.

This is a review of the 4K Steelbook released May 18, 2021. You already know Animal House is one of the classic slob comedies of all time. The 4K visual transfer is well done, very clear. A lot of the movie looks rather dark with grain but that is because of how it was filmed, a new restoration can't help that. The 4K clarity will add several instances of "I never saw that before." I have a 5,2.2 audio system which got a workout with the 4K disc's audio. The Faber College Theme sounds fabulous. This disc was worth paying the going rate and not waiting for the inevitable sale prices. I am not all that interested in the bonuses, there are several, but I buy movies to watch the movies. The 4K had subtitles for AH fans who've shot their hearing since the theatrical release.

A funny film from the past, collage humor at its best.

Don't let Animal House's UHD disc flounder in obscurity while on double secret probation. This release doesn't simply earn a passing grade; it sports a stellar 2160p/HDR video transfer that puts it near the top of the class. It's every bit the upgrade fans have long desired and it'll more than satisfy any videophile just coming to scope out the wares as well. The new DTS:X soundtrack doesn't reinvent the movie's sound design (and nor should it) but the presentation is just fine as-is. No new extras are included, which is a minor disappointment, but what's here is reliable and enjoyable. Very highly recommended for the film and the video transfer, and packaging collector's would be wise to check out the companion SteelBook packaging variant.

One of the best comedies ever done Blu-ray does the sound and picture one better

Many of tried but none have duplicated the comedic gold that is Animal House.

Great buy glad I found it Was dirt cheap what an amazing find

New blu-ray edition of one of the National Lampoon's classic

Animal House is full of characters that are both so vague that you know someone like them, and yet complex enough that you'll never know anyone like them at all. You may know a crazy guy like D-Day, but you'll never know anyone who can drive a motorcycle up a flight up stairs and make funny noises at you. You may know a guy like Bluto, but you've never seen anyone rip a guitar out of someone's hands and smash it to the ground in a horribly violent manner. And you may have know/have known an eccentric professor, but none that would ever think of even letting you over to his house, much less smoke pot with you. It is simply a movie that makes you think, "why couldn't college be that way for me?" I would love to chuck golf balls at the ROTC, or sneak a horse into an office building.

If you’ve watched shows like Family Guy, they got some of their jokes from this movie. This movie has made an impact in the community of comedy movies. Unable to gain acceptance at the snootier fraternities they pledge, the Deltas, a motley crew of misfits and sociopaths bent on disrupting the well-starched status quo, engage in various illegalities that land them in hot water with both the stern college dean and the neighboring jock fraternity. Their exploits eventually cause them to be placed on "double-secret probation," until finally, they are kicked out of school and, as the dean reminds them, newly eligible for the Vietnam draft. What's a Delta to do?

Sometimes I think people miss the pervading intelligence of this movie. Known now as being the purveyor of gross-out humor - the script actually had a lot more on its mind, including social caste, race, conformity, fascism, and a whole lot more. It's also a biting critique of the social mores of the country in the "pre-Beatles" era and, in its own way, illustrates so many of the factors that would lead to the counter-culture movement just on the horizon. Of course, it's also one of the funniest movies ever made and the fact that it would be the launch pad for Belushi and Landis and Reitman, and on and on -with lines and scenes that are still quoted to this very day - well - yeah it's one of the best comedies ever made. But it's also one of the more important ones, as well. Buy it!!!!!!

Animal House is a classic movie from the 80s. I previously owned the movie on DVD but jumped at the opportunity to own this movie with a steelbook in 4K. The 4K transfer of the movie is fantastic. Older movies tend to look better in 4K due to the cameras used. a 35mm camera for instance is like 6k and then lowered to 4K. More recent movies made are made with 2K cameras and then upscaled to 4K. It is always easier to take a larger image and make it smaller than it is to take a smaller image and make it larger.

The comedic value of this movie is what makes the high-def version a must have. Bringing the old VHS quality to current standards makes the movie even more fun to watch. Boone, Otter, D-Day, Bluto, Pinto, Flounder, Greggy, Dougie and some of the other Hitler youth are in crisp detail and brought to current standards. Any fan of Belushi will love this upgrade, but the entirety of the cast in 4K is worth every penny. Anyone who doesn't know what "classic comedy" is needs to buy this and have everyone in their families watch to find out.
