I would personally LOVE LOVE LOVE if they used that older PE concept cover for this release. I always liked it better than what we got for the PE anyway.
Even when the Platinum Edition DVD was still a work in progress and they showed us both this artwork and the final one used for the DVD, I liked this one better and I am so pleased to see it will finally be used for the Blu-ray. It's so much better than the old one. For one thing, the characters are on-model (I know some of you are maybe tired of hearing this, but this is one quality I really appreciate on a cover, lol ) )
Finally. A wholly decent cover. I will gladly get behind this artwork. The characters are on model (although to get really picky Cruella could still use a bit of work so she doesn't feel quite as clip-arty), there isn't some stupid sideways title, and even the background is reminiscent of the production backgrounds! A roun of applause, Disney. Can't wait for this release.
Not only did the re-use an old cover, it's an old cover with a very, very, very, very, very old clipart of Cruella, too. Ugh.
And being on-model is nothing to be ashamed of talking about, it should be tried to be done in every animated frame and every piece of Disney art unless purposely going for a different style/interpretation!

I feel they owe us both good and new equally whenever they make a new release.
I wasnt on this forum when this cover art was last seen, and it looks every bit as "new" to me as the Cinderella DE. Even with Cruella's old clipart, she at least fits in nicely.
