Not all are, but the French ones are always lovely, except for Bambi.

I simply adore the French SB cover!!!!

wow I love those poster art for lion king and aladdin and that. those are very pretty and would be awesome as dvd art. at least for the gift sets and stuff. I think disney should really use the 1-disc and 2-disc releases at the same time have kiddie covers for the single discs and these awesome poster art for the 2 discers. that woudl awesome!

Atlantis CE- The font is so cheap

That's because Disney started releasing different "press" pictures for those sites.

Examples: (real one on left, "press" one on right)

Maybe it's me, but I didn't read what he said as being rude, just as being informative and correcting...

RebelPrince1986 wrote:and also the whole point of this thread is to see who likes and dislikes which covers. i don't have to like the same ones as you and you don't have to like the same ones as me.

Yes, to each his own, but I don't think he was singling anyone out with his opinions.

RebelPrince1986 wrote:i couldn't help but notice that you had the most negative post on this entire thread... only posting the worst ones and picking them apart just like you picked apart the fact that i said "animation." maybe you should cheer up and not be so negative!!

Sometimes it's easier for people to list what they don't like about something than what they do like.

RebelPrince1986 wrote:maybe you should consider how the things you say will come across before you say them, this was just supposed to be a fun thread, nothing more, nothing less, i don't think you need to come pick apart what people say.

Again, I don't think he was picking apart any one particular person's choice, perhaps you took it too personally...

I could go and say that I hate every Disney cover out there and that anyone who likes them is an idiot, but I don't say that because obviously it's not true and obviously I actually enjoy some of Disney's cover art.

Anyways, to actually contribute to the subject at hand:

Best:
The Package Features Gold Collection - maybe because they're just...package features, but their cover art is so low-key and not in your face like others that it actually works for the movie. Plus, it'll probably be the last time we'll see character on-model in the cover art.

Lady and the Tramp Limited Issue - slightly better than the Platinum version, though it suffers from early cover art design of not having enough (while the Platinum has too much).

Robin Hood Gold Collection - It works because it's on model, but the MWE looks okay.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 25AE - It's so fitting as it shows various scenes around a central picture of Pooh. Truly the many adventures...

Beauty and the Beast Platinum Edition - any region version of this cover art is just gorgeous. The R1 is way too similar to its Black Diamond VHS, but the dark night background helps make it work.

Aladdin and The Lion King Gift Sets - two versions of what Gift Sets should look like. Sadly, I don't have Aladdin's, and I don't care enough for The Lion King to get the gift set.

Tarzan/The Emperor's New Groove/Atlantis CE's - ahh...back when Disney KNEW how to make both good DVDs and good DVD Covers!

Tarzan NSSE - Hell, if it were the two-discs it should've been, I'd have bought it again even though I already own the CE. The cover for this is kickass.

Worst:

Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, and Pocahontas - all are just too cluttered and SB especially is too off-model to be taken seriously. Oddly, they're all princesses I don't care much for either (except Poca, cause she's cool).

Chicken Little - as much as Justin and I love the film, I just don't like the MIB ripoff/parody that they attempted. And the fact that 3-line Morkupine Porcupine got on the front cover while Abby Mallard didn't.

Also have to say that the most unimaginative cover I've seen yet for any Disney film has to be the one for The Black Hole. The movie's great (if you watch it to enjoy it, not watch it to criticize it), and the cover unfortunately is indicative of what people thought it to be: dull.

Umh... My pick for worse cover just changed second ago as I discovered on UD the one that will apparently be the one for the Peter Pan PE!! Yeurk, this one is horrible, I really hope they change it!

This make make SO glad to own the exclusive French 2 Disc Special Edition released a few years ago, with a gorgeous digipack artwork lol

And then, my second worse US cover is Aladdin, which is also horrible

Best:
The Lion King
Bambi
Lady and The Tramp

Worst
Toy Story 2 (Too ugly)

Peter Pan (Don't get me started)

Best:
Snow White and the Seven Dwafts PE. The color is wonderful, it is fairly simple but still really great.

The Lion King PE: Again the color is wonderful and it is simple and beautiful.

The Little Mermaid PE: Many people argue that the cover is too cluttered (which it is cluttered) but the animation (with the exception of Ursula who I think looks awful) looks really great. Also, it is very colorful and very visually appealing.

Bambi PE: The animation is very beautiful and it is simple and overall satisfying.

Beauty and the Beast PE: Belle and Beast look great, I especially love the glittery rose. The supporting characters look great too.

Sleeping Beauty SE: I think this might be one of the most beautiful covers of all. I think the top with Aurora and the Prince kissing looks great, and I think it is awesome that they have Maleficent as the dragon on the bottom, and the faries floating around the movie title.

Worst:
Aladdin PE: The concept is ok, but I think the animation looks awful.

Alice In Wonderland ME: I think this cover could have been a lot more creative and more visually appealing. It looks like it was just thrown together quickly.

Dumbo BTE: Again, I think it was just pretty boring and Dumbo is way too big. I think something much better could have been done here.

I think the French Pocahontas and German Beauty and the Beast artwork are so dramatic and beautifull. Those are my favorite. I wish Disney had put that Beauty and The Beast and Pocahontas artwork for the US editions. The all purple Sleeping beauty one is really nice too.

It's hard for me to pick a best and worst, but I have to say one of the worst is deffinatley "Pollyanna." I just watched it and the cover art is so ugly.

I hate the way Haly Mills' face dissapears into the clouds and it's a weird picture of her. The bottom is boring with just Haly Mills pulling a wagon. They should have added at least Jimmy Bean, or better yet, found a way to incorporate Aunt Polly and Nancy into the cover. The highlight of the whole cover for me is the "Vault Disney" bannar. I wish they would make more of these DVDs, but this is deffinatley the worst cover art out of the line.

I think the most boring cover art for any Disney film is for "Melody Time."

It's just Donald and no other characters from one of the best of the package features. It also is false advertisement because Donald never appears in a conductors suit and never conducts anything in the film. It almost looks like Mickey's Phillarmagic: The Movie!

Her teeth are so big!! She looks a bit "off model" although it's a photograph of her

Geez, you're right, what does she do other than acting? Chop wood?

Simba3 · Post by **Simba3** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:56 pm

I agree, I think the "Pollyanna" cover is terrible, and a little bit creepy as well. As for the Melody Time cover, I actually think that one it pretty cool looking. Sometimes simplicity is good!
