I have to say, at first glance that sequel covers are ok.
Mind you, just...

cutting of simba's jaw
rafiki looks alien in that last cover

Wonder if these will change for the european market

Amazon just updated it's picture of the Trilogy:



Guess we won't receive individual package in the US, for now... =/

I believe that's the disc holder, unfortunately... =/

OH MY GOSH I bet it's just going to be a bunch of discs stacked on top of each other like the TRON limited edition set. How can something so expensive be so cheap???

International Cover Art:

Germany

The Lion King Trilogy (Blu-ray)




France

The Lion King (Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, Digital Copy)



The Lion King Trilogy (DVD)



The Lion King Trilogy (Blu-ray)

So it's official: Disney in America cant design cover art to save their lives. Everyone else can.

Well that's maddening.

Why can't we have that box style?!

*DROPS DEAD*

The French cover is gorgeous, and though I would prefer a horizontal title, here is an example where the vertical title almost works - there is plenty of room for it. The American cover is a claustrophobic mess.

Also, why do the French always seem to get these beautiful, classy, "adult" covers? I'm so jealous.

Because they take Disney more serious. Here in the USA they think only little kids like Disney films so they make such pathetic covers... Kinda insulting.

The only thing I don't get is why Timon is holding Pumba this way

These covers are all so damn UGLY.

Every single character is off-model and they feel like clip-art slapped on backgrounds. And don't even get me started on the vertical titles.

The dvd marketing department consists of people who are still halfway learning how to use photoshop. It's a disgrace. Disney is paying thousands of dollars to let animators like Andreas Deja and Glen Keane (who actually ANIMATED these characters) sit around the studio to do NOTHING, because there is nothing to animate.

At least let them design a nice dvd cover. It will take them like 5 minutes and it will look 500.000 times better. Everybody wins.

For a big company like Disney, this is beyond embarrassing.

It's the clip-art they used for "The Lion King 1 1/2" when it first debuted on DVD.

This should have been the Trilogy Set for the USA instead of the huge box set and probably all the discs are going to be stack on each other. For this cover only remove those characters from the sides then the cover art would look great.

I agree Disney should put Deja or Keane to design the cover art.

Not gonna go through 24 pages... Any word yet how the dvd will look? Will it be a 2-disc? Will it have anything decent on it?

From the press release

...And the one-disc DVD Edition will be available on November 15.

Looks like DVD is potentially dead at the house of mouse. Lion King's new DVD only being a one disc tells me that it will feature almost 0 bonus material in contrast to the one disc blu-ray which sucks big time. Glad I finally made the cross over to the new medium cause I need my bonus material and I especially need Lion King in a more user friendly capacity. The last DVD was a joke as it had no structure to where the bonus material was placed and so accessing what you wanted was like navigating through a mind field. lol.

Yep, 75% of all consumers will be 'glad' about that.

lol at all complaining of a stupid boxcover art.


definitely getting that big set cause I fucking want that drum.

And almost no one cept us will care, but honestly what did you expect? If Disney no longer ports over old extras onto the DVDs, and even blu-ray gets a very limited amount of new material, the new DVD's gonna go bust.
