Disney only offering bilingual covers for Canadian releases? - Blu-ray Forum

Who would want this ugly mess in their collection?

This is going to be such a pain in the ass if true. As someone who avoids bilingual packaging at all costs, it was such a relief to never have to worry about importing Disney releases. Always knew their latest release would have english only packaging and could just go to the store on release day to pick up a copy.

Disney releases are expensive in Canada as is, now it's going to be even more expensive if I have to import because of this.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Cover art looks waaaay too busy and clustered. Why not just have all English packaging with a little removable sticker that says "Version Francais Incluse"?

Or to make it even better, why not include Spanish, German, Cantonese, Portuguese, Japanese, Hebrew, hieroglyphics, etc etc to make it extremely MULTI-lingual??

And as a side note, I really dislike the sideways title on these Disney releases. Just looks really stupid.

The artwork for Mary Poppins Returns is up on Amazon and Best Buy, and it's bilingual version only.

Looks like we're ****ed.
