Never mind the multiplex posters for the Coen brothers’ “Hail, Caesar!’’ (2016), with their “Lights, Camera, Abduction’’ tagline. This is less another idiosyncratic LA noir in the vein of “The Big Lebowski’’ or “Barton Fink’’ than a surprisingly episodic trifle that could have been titled “The Coens’ Hollywood Follies of 1951.’’ In fact, the film might work best on DVD as a jumping-off point for thematic binge viewing, rather than as a chronicle of studio fixer Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) and his caseload. When Commies kidnap preening star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) from the set of his sword-and-sandal picture, it could be your invitation to check out the more serious-minded HUAC absurdity of Bryan Cranston’s “Trumbo.’’ The deliriously elaborate musical number with heartthrob Burt Gurney (Channing Tatum) sporting sailor togs and dancing on table tops practically demands to be watched with “Magic Mike.’’ And smart-set director Laurence Laurentz (Ralph Fiennes) might not be impressed with cowboy star Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich), but it’s clear that some folks see charisma there — just check the recent casting news about Ehrenreich playing young Han Solo. And then check out “Force Awakens,’’ etc., to see if you buy the similarity. (Young Leo DiCaprio seems just as on the mark, at least visually.) Extras: The disc includes a collection of standard featurettes, but boy, how we wish someone had thought to make a bonus ringtone download out of Fiennes’s unremitting, hilariously upper-crusty line reading for Ehrenreich’s range-challenged cowpoke. “Would that it t’were so simple,’’ indeed.

COMEDY/DRAMA

ANOMALISA (2015)

Chronically inventive Charlie Kaufman (“Being John Malkovich’’) teams with stop-motion animator Duke Johnson to direct this trippy portrait of a motivational speaker (David Thewlis) finding a fleeting escape from monotony with a fellow business traveler (Jennifer Jason Leigh). It’s puppetry like you’ve never seen it before — a note we offer both as praise and as a heads-up to parents who might have somehow missed this one’s R rating. Extras: Featurettes on the animation include a segment titled “Intimacy in Miniature.’’ That’s one way of putting it. . . . (Paramount, $29.99; Blu-ray, $39.99)

ANIMATION

ZOOTOPIA (2016)

Disney encores its hit anthropomorphic-animal detective story in the week’s somewhat more, um, traditional ’toon release. This is one of those animated features that labored to find itself during production, but it’s an agreeable hodgepodge, part breezy mystery and part ethnicity fable. Irrepressible rabbit cop Ginnifer Goodwin and unlikely partner Jason Bateman confront their respective hang-ups about being prejudicially disrespected as incapable and untrustworthy — a dumb bunny and a sly fox. Extras: “Z.P.D. Forensic Files’’ cracks the movie’s various Easter eggs. And to the filmmakers’ credit, they don’t ignore their conceptual struggles, instead making them a featurette subject. (Disney, Blu-ray/DVD, $39.99)
