1. Disney Animation Collection
2. Laserdisc ~ This uses pretty much the same image as several others, but the colors are much more lush.
3. Disney Studio Video Collection VHS ~ Reminds me of the Fantasia Anthology cover. Pretty.
4. Walt Disney Treasures
5. Walt Disney's Fables
6. VHS 2 / DMC exclusive DVD
7. 100 Years of Disney Animation
8. Mini Classics VHS
9. VHS 1 ~ This one's logo is my favorite, although the little dragon tail in the "R" of second VHS and DMC exclusive DVD covers is cute.

I wish I had been older when the Disney Treasures series was out. I would've bought them if I realized what a big deal it was, but I had only just started buying DVDs at all around that time. I think I had just bought the Snow White and B&tB Platinums (my first DVDs) when that was going on. I only have one Treasure and it's one of the Donald volumes. Maybe someday I'll be able to get them used via Amazon as everyone moves to Disney+ / digital.

1. VHS 2 & DMC Exclusive DVD- I like that this shows Walt and Robert Benchley- obviously they wouldn't be included in a just-the-shorts cover, but I like that it shows that it's more than just a cartoon.
2. VHS 1- I really like this. It looks more like a storybook illustration than the more shaded similar covers.
3. Disney Animation Collection

The others, while not bad, obviously either have strong similarities to the ones above, or don't have much to show of the film, if anything at all. Very neat to see these, though! (Hi, Victory Through Airpower- we see your cover! :))

Incidentally, these are two of my favorite Treasures sets.

I don't have all the Treasures, but I have a nice little collection. Some I bought when they first came out, and others I've gotten on eBay years after they came out. Like with buying any older Disney DVD, just check out the ratings of the seller to make sure they're not selling counterfeits left and right!

For Song of the South, I like all the Sing Along editions and the official UK VHS cover.

Top 3 (I don't dislike the rest, but I like these ones much more):
1. VHS 3 (Masterpiece Collection): For sentimental reasons, it's #1. I wanted it when I was a little kid, but my mom would never buy it for me. But I remember seeing it in the stores, and I wanted it!!

2. Wonderful World of Disney DVD

3. DVD (UK)

Hey,
I haven't really been feeling well this past week so if anyone wants to take it upon themselves to post the covers of Mary Poppins, that's completely fine.

:( I'm sorry to hear that- rest up. <3 Posting pictures (that show up as pics, not links) doesn't ever work for me, so if someone wants to take over, or else whenever you're feeling up to it, I'm sure we can wait.

Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon. I'd post the covers myself, but I seem to be getting a restriction, and I can't post more than 2 images per post. Is there anyone else around who'd like to post? If not, I'm sure it's no problem if we waited for you to feel better, farerb. :)

Yes, we can wait. The important thing is that you get better. However, if you really want someone to post the covers for you this time, I don't mind doing it. I hope you feel better soon. :)

Hmm ...

At first glance it really looks like Bert is doing something a little naughty to that sweet fawn, though she certainly doesn't seem to mind. You can all go ahead and call me a disgusting pervert. :P :milkbuds:

Farerb, next time find a better quality pic that doesn't leave SO MUCH to the imagination! :mischief:
