That's just my opinion.

Admittedly, it's likely to change, and it may not even be entirely up to date (there's a bit of misinformation in the booklet, including an old <i>National Treasure</i> cover and date). I'll try getting a bigger version scanned sometime tomorrow, but I can't make any guarantees.

(Actually I did show the wrong one - it's not the glass slipper that's shown. Fixed now.)

if she wasn't added then i still would be happy as it is.

I have & can draw her (only I do it without your snarky attitude)

I did not say she has to look identical or exactly as she did, only look like herself. I know it's not easy to make her look EXACTLY like she did in the movie but it's not impossible, nor is it necessary. I only ask that the artist draw a character that looks at least reasonably similar and the Cinderella on those other covers just don't cut it.

Another character that seems to suffer alot is Tinkerbell. For some reason many artist struggle with her. It's a bit odd.

It makes me wonder about the talent of the current Disney artists.

I thought her dress was a silvery white? (thinking back to what Disney made her dress in the CGI Disneyland commercial..).

Well, I find the cover to be okay..somewhat.
but the fairy godmother should be there..in the background!

Disneykid wrote:I think it's possible that the Fairy Godmother will show up on the back cover art. Most Disney covers have minor characters show up on the back cover (The Mad Hatter, Merryweather, Iago and Abu, Mushu and Crikee, etc.). I'm willing to bet the Fairy Godmother will follow suit.

As for the whole Cinderella/off-model thing, I agree that artists seem to struggle very much in depicting her. The image of her on most Princess merchandise doesn't resemble her movie counterpart very much at all. I'm hoping the final version will show her properly. At the very least, they need to get her hair and gown colors right (her hair's reddish brown, not blonde, and her gown's silver, not blue).

Disneykid wrote:I'm positive we'll see the Cinderella cover change at least twice before we actually get it. Disney always uses VHS clipart as place-holders for the characters while an artist works on the final version. I expect we'll see a press release (and teaser trailer) for the DVD in March when Bambi comes out. Just for reference, here's what the laserdisc had (I've posted this several times before, but it doesn't hurt to post it again now that we have an official pre-press release Cinderella thread):

Just add a commentary track, make the galleries virtual (I'm still holding out hope for it to come back), and some sort of featurette on the film's affect on Disney's theme parks, and you've got what could possibly be the best Disney Platinum, topping even Snow White.
