That cover...

[GuruAskew]

Lorne Michaels isn’t gonna be happy about that cloud-free cover

[rocknblues81]

A 7 year old could have done better.

Sad, because it's actually a great little movie. Richard Farnsworth is the grandpa I want to be.

His death makes me so sad

[traths]

That is some really lazy cover art.

[akaun6899]

Similar cover art exists for MouseHunt, but Paramount went with the original poster art for that one anyway. Strange.

[originalHDphantom]

So was that the actual cover art that was released in the US? Here in Canada we got the normal artwork:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08QQYQ11L
I'm still baffled as to why the other Paramount catalog releases still haven't made their way up here yet (Small Soldiers, Mouse Hunt, etc). Is it a Paramount issue, or an Amazon issue??

[captainjoe]

It’s been very random in Canada with recent paramount releases. They haven’t given us any of the Paramount Presents titles but we got a few of them (trading places, golden child) with normal artwork and no slipcover. Very strange

[DaBargainHunta]

I watched this last night. The Blu-ray looked and sounded pretty good.

I'm surprised there's no digital release for this forgotten gem. Usually Paramount has both, and in some cases, digital years before physical.

But yeah, the Blu-ray cover art is truly atrocious. It actually depresses me that someone got paid to slap together a bad photoshop like that. Even an inexperienced child could have done a better job.

Not sure why Paramount couldn't have used the same cover as the DVD, which captures the beauty of the movie's locations.



Still, cover art aside, I'm just glad to have the movie on Blu.

[Karin Kanzuki]

Is it in the oar of 1:85.1?
