New Forum Suggestion: Slipcovers!

[Lightyear]

Are there any slipcovers that differ from the DVD cover art underneath?

In France, there are a few that are like that. The Special Edition of Pocahontas aparently has a slipcover that is a feather with Pokey's face showing through a bit beneath a white background. Underneath, the actual DVD case is the same as the US 10th Anniversary Edition

This thread rocks!

Thanks. . . I was having a bad day but this is really cheering me up.

Alan, what about the Pooh movies. They never come with slipcovers. Are you gonna avoid them because they don't have a slipcover even if you like them. Which Incredibles did you buy as mine is WS and it didn't have a slipcover but I still bought it. Apparently my Best Buy only had a slipcover for the FS Incredibles. What about movies like The Parent Trap (original and remake). Neither came with a slipcover. I buy a movie for the movie and not the slipcover. If it has a slipcover, fine but if it doesn't but I like the movie, I'll buy it.

Geez, I wish Disney had never started this stupid slipcover phase to begin with...

They are like gods to us true Disney fans!

For those of you who are dubious, Wondy speaks the truth!

Here is an ancient greek family tree showing how the ancient Greeks worshipped the Disney slipcovers as Gods, and showing the slipcovers relationships to one another.

Did you really make that? It's really good!

Yup I only buy movies with slipcovers. The rest look ugly and the slipcovers are cool

What is the world coming to? Are you saying you need a fancy little piece of cardboard just to enjoy a movie? I've heard people make a big deal out of slipcovers, but not buying a perfectly good movie just because it doesn't have one? Why not just collect slipcovers instead of the movies if that's all that matters? That's it! Destroy all slipcovers! (except mine )
A slipcover forum would be a great idea. We'd finally have a place for all those threads.
EDIT: Ichabod, nice slipcover tree! Funny!

While we are in no position to decide what one's priorities would be, I gotta tell you that slipcovers just rule, man! And anyone who doesn't think so is messed up!

Not only do I freak out over and refuse to buy "naked" discs, I write a nasty letter to Buena Vista every time they release a DVD without one! I say they should provide at least two with every DVD, just in case one of them wears out! And I think every CD should be released with one, too!

I plan on making slipcovers for everything now. . . my books, my couch, my fridge, my bed. . . they're just so freakin' cool!

Trees are over-rated anyway, don't you think?

[Isidour]

naked discs...
but they have that little box

Well, okay, so I should have said "naked cases."

[Sunset Girl]

Dammit, I'm having trouble opening my fridge. . . can someone help me slide this thing off, the ceiling's in the way!

Grumble grumble. . .

Thank you dahling; I never knew how fabulous I could look, and no one even has to see the real me!

*digs into pocket for dime* Here you are. Oops, I dented this one slightly; gonna have to make myself another one.

Just make sure you have a good lawyer, Disney is about to sue you over copyright infringement. Or trademark infringement. Or something.

Well, the idea of a slipcover I think wouldn't be anyones property.. It's what you do with the slipcover that becomes a copyright infringement.

Well, if they sue me, they can have all my profits..

one slightly dented dime..

Well, as you can see, this conversation is getting us absolutely nowhere. We should talk about a *really* important subject.

Like, why doesn't Disney offer slip-cover emergency kits, just in case you scuff one up during the constant rearranging you do with your media shelves? (You know, I can never decide. . . should I arrange them alphabetically, chronologically, by genre, box office sales, number of home video units sold, my personal favorites, or just by the beauty of the slipcover? I should probably just go with the latter, eh?)

And why do my slip-covers always come with those stupid cases inside of them? They almost always have the same pictures on them anyway. And what's with those shiny discs I find inside those cases? Might make a good coaster or something, I don't know. . . anyone up for a friendly game of frisbee?

Oh, and one more thing. I was wondering: does anyone here look at R-rated slipcovers? I haven't seen any yet, but might see one in a couple years.

A game of frisbee would be fun, but those discs are too flat to be frisbees. Maybe we should save them to stuff inside pancakes for an April Fools Joke next year?

I've never seen an R-rated slipcover. Perhaps they come in the X or NC-17 versions!

Did you really make that? It's really good!

I did, nice to see at least one person recognised to it!

I admire it too, but I thought it was your research and lineage skills should be commended, rather than your artistic skills. You mean you actually created that mythology all on your own?!
