You shouldn't be so hard on the cows!
There's definitely something bovine about Ariel herself!
I personally don't care if there's a slipcover or not, it's not that big of a deal.
I wish my Bambi DVD had velcro on it. I also got the sticky glue-like substance, and it came off within minutes of having it in my posession because I kept playing with it. It was fun to play with, though.
I wish WB would release their DVD's in the standard case instead of the weird one that they have. My Quest for Camelot, Space Jam, and Watership Down all stick out from my collection because of the funny cases.
In my CD collection, a couple of them stick out because they have cardboard cases instead of jewel cases.
I bought two copies of Encore the day it came out--the standard edition and the collector's edition because #1) I love Eminem very much. X3 #2) The standard edition can fit in with the rest of my CD's, the collector's edition (which has a fancy box for a case) can have a special place elsewhere. The last time I went CD shopping, I saw this nifty imported edition of The Marshall Mathers LP that had a slipcover over the jewel case and had an extra disc with bonus material; and this was $20. I've made a mental note to buy that the next time I see it and have the cash.
There's a definitive guide to slipcovers by Jake Lipson that makes it so there is no need for threads like this. There are also reviews on these two and just about every other Disney DVD that's come out this year: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/recently.html . If there are slipcovers, the review would mention it and Jake's thread would list it in the first post.
Arg, I spent a good 10 minutes searching for the freaking thread, and Pasta beat me to it. UD's stupid search engine wasn't turning up any results for me when I searched for posts by Jake Lipson that contained the word "slipcover," so I had to manually search his individual posts. Ah, well.
Okay, do they all come with slipcovers? I have never seen A Bugs Life with a cover, and I know Monsters Inc. comes in a nice box and Nemo with a slipcover. But what about Toy Story 1 & 2?
If someone could give me the low-down it would be appreciated...
Please read the sticky Posting Guide thread atop General Discussion and use this thread for slipcover discussion. Your question can pretty much be answered in its first post.
I came across this http://www.designpaulchampagne.com/new2.html where some guy is selling custom DVD slip covers made of aluminum. He's got some pretty cool designs. Not too much Disney though. Just Pirates of the Caribbean:
The box holds 3 standard DVD cases so there's plenty of room for "expansion" when the sequels come!
