Mulan had many posters, but frankly, most of them were underwhelming, in my opinion. It`s a pity how that movie never got a poster with most of the characters, like the rest of the Disney Renaissance Pictures had. Cause those were my favorites, to be honest. My favorite poster is when she`s sitting with her back with her armour.
Pocahontas’ canoe poster and Gold Collection covers are so nice! The one with more characters and Grandmother Willow looking so bad is indeed a bad poster to me!

I like the BatB dancing in shadow poster but yes, the Beast in the clouds on is bad!
Really? Sorry, but I disagree. I happen to like those character-posters more, actually.

Thank you for your opinion and information, DisneyFan09. I DO like the part of the BatB poster where the Beast is looming in the clouds over the castle. That is a cool part.

They have been releasing merchandise with the original VHS cover all the time so I don't think that they care much about the towers anymore.

But you know, $100 isn't too bad considering it would've been near $50 at the time. I'll get the Sleeping Beauty, TP&TF, Frozen / II, B&tB, and Mulan steelbooks eventually over time.

Some covers I wish they'd do, if they ever to give them new steelbooks down the line:

TLM - The original palace poster
Aladdin - John Alvin poster, but also like the full cast poster
Pocahontas - Canoe poster.
Hercules - John Alvin artwork, but full cast poster if not that one.
Mulan - The red poster of her on Khan.
Tarzan - Tarzan standing on the huge tree trunk from the Sabor scene poster.
TP&tF - The image if bayou dress Tiana looking down at Naveen in the swamp.

Harder to say with the older films because the posters were sort of ugly in ye olden days. I would love if Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, and The Sword in the Stone had steelbooks like SB's that imitate the storybooks at the start. I guess I liked Dalmatians' poster with Cruella looking down at the dogs, that could be okay.

DisneyFan09, why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong. You said you prefer the Pocahontas and Beauty and the Beast character posters and I was saying I don’t like them except for the cool Beast in the clouds over the castle part.

Divinity, I so agree, the posters in Walt’s time were ugly, except for in my opinion Snow White’s very first one. I also agree the 101 Dalmatians one with Cruella big and looking at down at the dogs is not bad, and I also agree that if the Disney in-film opening storybooks were used for steelbooks just like Sleeping Beauty got, that would be wonderful. Can’t do The Jungle Book and Robin Hood though, they used the same book.
