(Here's to hoping! lol!)

and let's hope for the original theatrical version with correct colors.

In the coloring department, the cover's a sign of good things to come.

Not a fan of the cover art ..... why do they feel that they have to keep re-using the same moment in the movie ? I know it is the most famous, but there is more to the film Disney !! I mean, look at the previous covers ....

The VHS cover :

It's a cute cover; not too sure why the ballroom has a pink tint, or why they are standing in front of a random table .... but it isnt too bad.

Platinum DVD cover :

Floating heads situation ..... but what gets me is that it is THE SAME PICTURE .... just clours have been changed etc, and Belle's hair and make up have been edited. I mean, is there not any new clipart they could have used ?!

Enchanted Christmas DVD cover :

Its yet again the same image ... just altered a little. They couldnt even be botherd to fix Belles hair ..... its half up half down like in the ballroom scene, but they just removed the bun and put a bow on the end of her hair instead.

For one of their most loved and acclaimed movies, they sure havent spent the time and the effort on a wonderful piece of art for the cover.

I think the cover looks okay. The beast's face looks just fine, I'm not sure why people are saying it's off-model. At least they have Cogsworth on this cover.

Well, hes been on all the other covers except the Platinum. Just dont think anyone on the current cover looks quite 'right' I guess.

Here is what I expect the final version to look like:

Hard to believe it's been 20 years. Makes me feel old.

I agree with you, but that is one of the most iconic moments in the movie, so probably that's the reason that it's gettig re-used several times.

I like the cover! One of the better covers from Disney I would say. Belle's face could have been a little different, but it's not to bad either.

No, it will be 19. It was released in 1991, remember?

Otherwise, I agree that time flies really fast.

There is a reason why that logo is next to never seen outside the title card - it's hard to reproduce and even harder to read - especially when small. It also lacks any flexibility for a designer to use in other applications (posters, CDs, etc.) - you are stuck with a notoriously poor colour scheme that just about overpowers everything else and you can't change the lockup without seriously modifying it.

I don't know what hell was going on in the marketing dept in 1991 letting them use that (I understand the creative decision - it ties in with the stained glass) but they have made the right choice by using the film's real logo on this release.

What logo?

That's the most awesome cover I've ever seen! You could easily aquire a job at Disney making covers. Incidently, this is supposed to be released in late 2010, nearing 2011, making it the perfect time claiming the release a 20th AE.

It was the actual title logo used on-screen within the film.

Oopies! Yeah, the film was released in Novemeber '91. One year and month after I was born. Wow, know I feel old!

I was a sophomore that year, and the film came out a few months before I turned 16. It was a great time to be a Disney fan.

I was about 1 yr and 4 months when this came out in theaters.

So, where's the nearest retirement center? I'd like to apply.
