Bambi: Diamond Edition Discussion - March 1, 2011

Hmm... Do I like it, or do I not like it...?

I'm really not sure. I don't think it's a total eyesore, anyway.

At least they're trying to be more creative with the placement of the title on the cover.

[Coolmanio]

Uh, yuck?

Please, please, PLEASE don't let this be the final artwork Disney. The title looks bizarre, and the art looks like they combined the Region 1 and Region 2 Platinum artwork together

[TheSequelOfDisney]

That certainly is a unique cover, but I'm not digging it. It's just kind of really off.

[zackisthewalrus]

Oh goodness. That lettering is very....... unique? The image looks fine to me.

[toonaspie]

Chilax, you guys. I highly doubt this is real.

Disney is not that crazy to put the titles of their movies on the sides like that.

[RIPJoeRanft]

I hope those covers are real. It's definitely a fresher than most Disney covers.

[singerguy04]

I like everything except where the title is. It'd be WAY better off (IMO) if Bambi's head was a little smaller and the title was horizontal across the top. Disney very rarely gives us the final cover-art this soon anyway, so I'm assuming it'll change.

Just searched "bambi diamond edition" on Amazon. It looks like Bambi: Diamond Edition will be released....

Ugh, Bamzilla much? I'm not digging that cover much at all. What's wrong with using this?

I figured the art in the above ad was too good to just be for that PSA, and it matches the group shot type of artwork Disney's been doing for titles like Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland. Hmmm....

[PixarFan2006]

While I do agree it's different from what Disney has previously done, this is also one of the worst artwork designs for a Disney release ever.

I will probably pick this up on Blu-Ray when it comes out. It's not my favorite Disney film, but I still kind of enjoy it.

[zackisthewalrus]

Here's the cover for the 2-Disc DVD due in stores April 19, 2011:



Personally, I think it looks a lot better than the Blu-ray.

[SpringHeelJack]

It sucks when the DVD gets better cover art. The DVD looked nicer than the cluttered "Snow White" Blu-ray and it looks like the same here. But I guess on some level I'm just glad to see "Wu3-o-." coming out on Blu-ray.

...wait, that's supposed to say "Bambi"? Cripes.

[Disney's Divinity]

Is it just me, or are these covers (this, B&tB, Snow White) really sucking in comparison to the Platinum Line's covers? The artwork is generally worse and the colors are hi-bright and kiddified.

I thought this was the Diamond Line, not the 50 Cent Glitter Line. Seriously.

[disneyboy20022]

Oh goodness. That lettering is very....... unique? The image looks fine to me.

Looks like more of a postage stamp or a sorta collector's cover of the Blu ray. or perhaps a Poster at wal-mart for $5...

Though It beats floating heads and characters off model on the Disney cover for a change. Very Unique....I like it sorta...kinda a unexpected cover, but yet there's something about it that I like...perhaps the unique ness is growing on me liking it..

[Alphapanchito]

I like that it says "Walt Disney" instead of the annoying "Disney" above the title of the film. Although I would prefer Walt Disney's or Walt Disney presents, I really do like the inclusion of Walt here, if it is the actual cover art. I like the art used, and as for the sideways writting.. there is something I really like about it. It seems 90s nostalgic, though I have no idea why.

[Wonderlicious]

Ugh, Bamzilla much?

Perhaps Bambi is trying to avoid past accidents.

Personally, I'm not quite a fan of both covers. They're not particularly bad, rather they're just flawed. The Blu-ray one stumbles mainly due to the composition, and of course the sideways lettering (it has obviously always worked on spines, but not really that much on front covers!). If they shrunk Bambi and moved him to the left, did the same for Thumper and Flower, moved the Great Prince further into the background (possibly placing him atop the cliff), and then put the title in the top right-hand corner, then we'd at the very least get a cover similar to the acceptable one Pinocchio got. The DVD cover is much better (they used a single scene as opposed to floating heads, and one somewhat akin to the art of the film!), but the characters look so ridiculously saccharine and cute that I'm closing my mouth right now should my teeth start to decay in their presence. What I would do would be to simply make the characters look less sickly sweet; at the moment the characters, especially Thumper, look a bit exaggerated in their expressions.

[CampbellzSoup]

that cover is so fake...why would you even give it a second thought??

[Toky]

haha what a bunch of weird covers(the lettering looks so fake), but hey you never know with disney(they managed to pull out a horrible cover for beauty and the beast as well, I'm sure people wouldn't even recognize it as disney,cause belle looks so weird.. )
weird also that the covers go from really good(alice in wonderland 60th anniversary blu-ray looks truly great) to horrible(Snowwhite and batb)

[stitchje1981]

totally agree, the lettering is so fake...
The photo's aren't that bad from both versions on this topic

I think the Fantasia + Fantasia 2000 Blu cover is a great one as well
BATB is cliché: always the same ballroom scène with Lumiere, Cogsworth, Chip and Mrs. Potts on the cover!
Snow White wasn't that bad, I loved the Evil Queen as the hag with the apple in the middle

[UmbrellaFish]

I definitely don't think these are fakes. They may not be final, but they aren't fake. And the BD one is beginning to grow on me. I like the sideways lettering. At least it's unique. I get bored of the tired old format sometimes.
