The Walt Disney Signature Collection

I love it

[Disney Duster]

The cover would be alright if the damn title was in the center...

[JeanGreyForever]

I love how Disney remained consistent by remaining inconsistent in the cover designs for the Signature line as well.

What does multi screen mean ?

I still think the cover art people are one of the weakest parts of Disney. They have so much in their back catalogue of artwork they could use ... !!

What does multi screen mean ?

I still think the cover art people are one of the weakest parts of Disney. They have so much in their back catalogue of artwork they could use ... !!

It's referring to the multiple formats of the film that are included (Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital). I've always said that their VHS covers for all of these films were too gorgeous for them to butcher artwork on future releases like this. It would be cool if Disney had done what Scream Factory does on their releases by having reversible artwork - the new artwork on one side and the original home video artwork (or theatrical poster) artwork on the other.

Press release revealing more info (courtesy of DVD News Flash):

"BURBANK, Calif. (Jan. 4, 2018) — This February, Disney’s cherished animated classic, “Lady and the Tramp,” joins the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection. Every member of the family will treasure this timeless tale—loaded with three versions of the film, classic bonus material and three all-new features—when it heads home on Digital and on Movie Anywhere Feb. 20 and on Blu-ray on Feb. 27.

The Walt Disney Signature Collection edition offers three exciting ways to watch “Lady and the Tramp”—the original theatrical version, sing-along mode and Walt's story meetings—both Digitally and via the Multi-screen Edition (formerly the Blu-ray Combo Pack). The Multi-screen Edition includes Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital copy, giving in-home consumers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices. In addition to classic bonus features, all-new extras invite viewers to enter Walt Disney's original office suite on the Studio lot, discover Walt’s personal passion for pups, and receive a celebrity-hosted spaghetti and meatballs cooking lesson.

As one of the greatest love stories ever told, “Lady and the Tramp” is sure to melt the hearts of generations with its beloved characters, brilliant animation, memorable music and sweet sentiment. The animated treasure tells the story of Lady, a lovingly pampered cocker spaniel, and Tramp, a freewheeling mutt with a heart of gold. Through the Signature Collection edition, viewers can relive the pair’s thrilling adventures, sing along with the film’s unforgettable songs like “Bella Notte,” and swoon over one of the most memorable movie moments of all time—the iconic scene in which Lady and Tramp share a plate of spaghetti and an accidental kiss.

“Lady and the Tramp” is the sixth title to join the Walt Disney Signature Collection, which includes groundbreaking films created or inspired by the imagination and legacy of Walt Disney, featuring timeless stories and characters that have touched generations. The film takes its place alongside “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Pinocchio,” “Bambi” and “The Lion King.”

It's a nice cover and the new bonus features sound cute, but it doesn't sound like one that requires a double dip. Few of the Signature releases have so far IMO.

[Vlad]

I love it. I'm so getting it the cover art looks beautiful

Agree! I just want the digital copy. That is what I have done with all the Signature releases so far.

I'm buying solely for the digital copy, and it looks like I'll be buying the Best Buy steelbook. I love how they're resorting to alternate / exclusive artwork to make up for what these releases lack in content, and I hate to admit that it's working.

I like the Steelbooks when you preordered the movie and they gave you it for preordering. I don’t actual like the discs and the context inside the steelbook itself. To me, it’s bulky and a pain on the shelf, I keep them separate. So now I don’t get the steelbooks anymore because they don’t have them alone.

[unprincess]

I collect the Target digibooks but I hate how they superimposed the pups at an angle hovering over a background that makes no sense in context. I wish they would have used the digital version's cover or the Blu-ray packaging cover.

I agree. Unfortunately I didn't own a Blu-Ray player back when they still did that so I never got a chance to own those older Steelbooks. Last year I did buy the Steelbooks for the Signature Edition of TLK (in addition to the standard release) and the live action BatB and actually kept those sealed for collecting purposes and that will more than likely be the case for this one too. It also irks me that they include those paper inserts that wrap around the top of the case. I don't like to throw those away but they're too big to fit inside the case once they're open and you have to fold them in half to get them to fit inside. It would be much better if they reduced those to just the size of the back cover so they'd fit inside.

[Nala]

I'm definitely getting it. I'm pre-ordering from DMC as I'll get a lithograph with it.

[JeanGreyForever]

The Disney Store has lots of Peter Pan plush products right now so that seems to suggest that Peter Pan will also be released this year. Which seems to fit the rumored schedule that this year, the signature editions will be Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, and Fantasia.
