Pocahontas / Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1995-1998) (Special Edition)

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:

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.
