I guess the pre-schooler is back to finish the job

no, I get what you mean. I'd like a simpler cover than this as well.

Hey! haha thats not nice , but i see what you mean lol XD like i said i didn't really take the time, just think of it as the big picture and if people actually would give her a arm, and make it look good haha I was just trying to paint over the stupid characters that were blocking her haha

I actually like the cover. People over at DVDizzy are complaining about Meeko being so big, but I don't see the issue because 1) he's in the foreground, and 2) it's a collage, not a cast portrait where everyone's occupying the same space live. Drew Struzan's posters fill space with varying character sizes and no one complains about those. My only beef with the cover is that John Smith really should be on it instead of another Pocahontas. They very obviously just repurposed the excellent VHS cover from the original release:

[Show spoiler]

Since a 2-Movie Collection is pretty much guaranteed for us at this point, I wonder what that means for Pocahontas' laserdisc/10th Anniversary Edition bonus features. If those got dropped (which they shouldn't considering how little space SD video takes up), I'll probably throw out the inevitable DVD copies included and replace those with my 10th Anniversay discs.

I guess this also means every non-Diamond animated classic will be packaged with its sequel, which would mean the following:

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh/??? (Pooh's Grand Adventure? The new Winnie the Pooh film? I'm hoping for the former)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame/The Hunchback of Notre Dame II
Mulan/Mulan II
Tarzan/Tarzan II
The Emperor's New Groove/Kronk's New Groove
Atlantis: The Lost Empire/Atlantis II: Milo's Return (though this was a cancelled TV series, and since the similar Belle's Magical World didn't get a BD release...)
Lilo & Stitch/Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch
Brother Bear/Brother Bear II

I think the only exception would be Aladdin since that had two sequels, and while I see Disney offering a three-movie collection ala Lion King, I can't see them making that the sole release for the original.

A lot of people are surely going to cry foul over all that, but it doesn't bother me. So long as video, audio, and supplements aren't affected, I don't care if a glorified bonus feature is thrown in and given placement on the cover artwork.

I never seen the DVD version but I think the blu-ray needs some kind of upgrade. The sound and picture will look great!

I don't mind having the sequels really. However, some of them are just horrendous. Guess we will wait and see. I wonder if they would make more money selling them individually or together like fox and the hound was.

Is that the art? It looks okay, but why can't they just release Pocahontas by itself? Why force people who may not even want the sequel to buy it? Edit: This is your own fan cover? Not bad, I certainly don't have the skill to pull something like that off.

Flit. That's the bird. I hope they release Pocahontas by itself though. I guess you were trying to show that it was much better being less crowded?

Pretty much haha I think its over crowded and the characters are in the in the oddest sizes and doubles of characters, i would much rather prefer a simple cover like the one i quickly covered everything.

True to the that.

I can understand that they probably can't justify a solo release for a lot of these sequels like they can with BaTB, Bambi, and TLK, but I don't see why they can't have a solo release of the original films, and then also have a 2-movie collection for those who want the sequels as well (I mean, who would buy the sequels without buying the originals anyway?).

I really hope we get that solo release in the U.S. And it would be nice if they backtracked and gave FaTH a solo release as well, though I'm not really hoping for anything at this point.

That cover I like. Simple. Elegant. Beautiful.

This is the UK DVD cover.. It appears to be in stock too which means that it is not new..

not exactly. it's a combination of the cover you found and this one. the have very subtle differences

[disneyfreak]

i think we'll be figuring out if this is coming out in april or not in the US in the next couple of days, because disney added 1 movie in the release calender for early april (jake and the neverland pirates) usually they release march and aprils schedule close by each other.

[DaViD Boulet]

one of my favorite Disney animated films and can't wait to get this on blu-ray!!!!
