Available 3rd July.
Amazon.de link
Again, it seems the European's have gone for a more artistic, mature cover than the American release.
The Lion King is also available to pre-order at
Amazon.de but no cover art has been posted yet (it has an October 23rd release date listed)

that's not the official Cover art for the german DVD. Tt's only an early preview...
The german DVD will have the same artwork as the american version...
The french version will have a REALLY cool artwork. But like many other french DVD Cover I only like the artwork, not the rest (Text and other things)

Yeah, I know about the French set - I've got it on order!
It's sad about the German cover only being an early version. I think it's twice as good (i.e. "classy") as the American cover.

yes the artwork is really nice but the Disney DVD Logo is too big and the Treasure Planet Logo looks very bad, too....

Why do I have to live in a country where everything is dumbed down and pandered to the lowest common denominator? *huff*
Is sophistication nonexistent in the U.S. now? Grr.... Disney may do a good job with their animated feature dvds, but their (American) cover art (or any other promotional art, for that matter...) seems to be getting worse and worse. Oy...

If you don't like the covers with wich the films are released, why not check out the Disney Animation section of
http://www.dvdcoverart.com.
They have some REALLY nice, numbered and MATCHING covers made by a guy named Chris Elder. Have a look!
Here's a preview:
edit: dvdcoverart did not allow the preview
I should probably point out though that far from all classics have been given the deluxe treatment so far. I have about 15 of these on my shelf, they are AMAZING! These covers can be printed out professionally by using the services of DV-DEPOT. (

HEY why isnt there a 2 disc collector's edition DVD for Treasure Planet in the US? this seems a little unfair.

I know...my thoughts exactly.
I'm hoping that a successful Lilo & Stitch SE release in the US will mean we'll see one for TP as well.

Maybe I'm missing something, and maybe I'm just confused, but you're saying that the German cover 2099net posted at the top of the post is so much nicer than the US cover, but isn't it the same? It's the same as the Canadian cover, and since both countries are R1, I doubt they'd be different.

Yes its the same.
I love the cover for the 2 disc version, I wish that had been the cover for the 1 disc release.

The French Treasure Planet disc is the same bar a few differences - it has a (French) DTS language track (but still has an English DD 5.1 track too), no trailers and an extra music video (The French language version of "I'm Still Here"). The second disc in the 2 disc set is Disney's live action Treasure Island film. So it's not really a 2 disc release.
But I agree - the US should of have a 2 pack release too.

It's a Link to the Amazon.de cover. It must have been updated to the release cover (as stated earlier on this thread, the link was to a pre-release non-final cover originally).

The French cover for Treasure Planet looks really nice! The European covers do look more artistic than the American covers.
La Planete au Tresor is a nice French Title.
Here's the German Lion King PE cover:

it's the same as the US.
Hopefully when/if US releases 2 disc TP, it will have the french cover or something similar but better
