A while back, I remember reading here that Sleeping Beauty would come packaged like Beauty and the Beast.
Well, my Sleeping Beauty does have the "open like a book" slipcover like Beauty and the Beast, but it's not in that kind of keepccase. Instead of a case like Monsters, Inc., Beauty and the Beast, and DreamWorks' Minority Report DVD where the first disc is on a flap and you can see both discs at once, my Sleeping Beauty is in a standard-thickness double-disc case like the Bug's Life reissue and the Miyazaki titles, and quite franly I like it better this way. It is, however, still in its awful cover and not the artsy one they made first that we should have had.
So I was just wondering - is everyone's DVD in this type of case or is mine unique? If mine's a unique case, why was it packaged differently from all the others? Are there other kinds of Sleeping Beauty cases out there, possibly some like the double-thick Snow White or the Treasures cases? Which kind of case did yours come in?

Mine matches the Beauty and the beast case perfectly! I'm actually surprised that all the SB dvds don't have the same style casing... Weird...

This is strange.
I don't know why they're different, but personally I'm very pleased with the case I have. I like it a lot better than the thin ones like Beauty and the Beast. But I don't think where you buy it is of much difference. Mom picked mine up at Target, so it's not a Costco exclusive or anything that I know of. And even if it was, why would a store run a special saying "Exclusive Different Packaging Here!" (well, unless everywhere else was a snapper and you could get it in a keepcase at said store. Then, I'd understand it a bit more, but thankfully Sleeping Beauty isn't in a snapper.)
On a second thought, Grease (a Paramount release) is/was supposedly in a keepcase at Sam's Club stores while it's in a custom cardboard case everywhere else. But even if that rumor is true, why would Disney supply different types of the same type of case for the exact same release? There's no point in it, since they don't stand to gain anything more from one type of keepcase than another. Wierd. Maybe it's the packaging people's mistake?
In any case, if you don't have a copy of Sleeping Beauty yet and prefer a specific type of keepcase, my advice would be to go to the store and take the outer slipcover off each copy to look at the keepcase itself (and, of course, put the slipcover back over them all when you've found what you want.) You should be able to tell by the thickness of the case which type it is.
