With all the different covers floating around for Disney DVDs and videos, and some people hating the new 'big head' covers, I wondered if we could start a thread with all the different DVD/video covers for all the Disney Classics?? I thought it would be interesting to post all the different versions, and see what the favourite was? I'll start with Snow White as soon as I get home. If anyone else want to post covers, feel free!

Alice in Wonderland's home video history...

1992 Laserdisc (same artwork as the VHS from that era)


1995 Standard Laserdisc (same artwork as the VHS from that era)


1995 Archive Collection Laserdisc (Which the Masterpiece Edition's supplements are mostly from)


1999 UK DVD


2000 Gold Classics Collection DVD (re-used from 1999 VHS re-release)


2004 Masterpiece Edition DVD


My favorite is definitely the Masterpiece Edition DVD. It doesn't restrict itself to one scene, and I think the color scheme better reflects Wonderland than the others do. The old UK DVD would come in a very close second; I love having so much of the cast present on the cover.

Ok, here are the covers that I could find for Snow White, and sorry if I get some of the details wrong!:

Platinum Edition -


Video Release in the UK -


Another video release very simmilar to the one before -


The Special Edition DVD (UK only?) -


Those were all I could find, but I'm sure that there are more. Not sure what my favourite one is though. Might say the Platinum, but its very dull; it should have more life!

Wow Disneykid, I never knew Alice had so many releases! I'm undecided about the cover I like best; none of them have really lived up to a classic Alice cover for me.

But, my two favourites are the Masterpiece Edition and the 1999 UK DVD.

I really hate the Gold collection one for some reason!

Personally, my favourites are the covers that Disney has changed from the regular ones when releasing in France:

Here a Snow White Cover:

First German VHS Cover



Here Cover from "The Little Mermaid"

Platinum Edition:


Alternative Cover Platinum Edition:


Special Edition (1)


Special Edition (2)


German VHS Cover


German VHS Cover (TV-Series)

Oh my gosh! That Pocahontas is gorgeous! It's so much more adult than America's cartoony cover. Wow.

P.S. ChrisS the cover art right before the last was never used. I believe I saw it in like 2003 on a TLM fansite as a possible look at what the cover art would look like.

Wow, those French ones are amazing....

Here are some cover art pictures for "The Lion King"

Oh my gosh!! all those France covers are amazingly beautiful! very adult collector feel. I love them. Thanks TM2-Megatron for posting these!!!

Very interesting subject. I love the French Pocahontas cover so much that I am considering buying it when I go to the Disney Store in Paris... even if I own the Region 1 DVD (and even if my DVD player does not play Region 2!). Of course Pocahontas is one of my top 1 movies (BatB and Poca are tied...) so I guess I'm allowed to be a bit excessive with it

Notice the "Ladybird" logo. That is the cover of a book, and I've seen many others like it for other book of other films.

And I personally LOVE the Gold Collection Alice!

You know, I was thinking it would be nice to keep this all in order, but that would be impossible because people would always find new covers inbetween, and also, if we were to keep this up, future movies would comlicate things! So...eh. Maybe I'll do Cinderella when we've gotten to that, after we've done Pinocchio, Bambi, Dumbo, Fantasia...

If we want to keep track of all the animated classics, and the proper order: Animated Classics

Here Covers from Cinderella:

The French covers are gorgeous! I'm so lucky to have the very same purple Sleeping Beauty, if you guys want photos I can post them!

I have the 1995 Cinderella VHS.

Oh, I would love it if you posted some photos! Thanks in advance.

This is a very good resource for all sorts of Disney images. There is a gallery for every film, including both theatrical and direct to video releases. Unfortunately it is hard to tell whether some of them are designs for DVD covers or simply promotional images.
The classics are listed chronologically in the left-hand column.

Id it just me or does Alice on the covers not look like Alice in the film, I think the masterpiece edition gets the closest, but there's still something not quite right. . . .
