The Canadian Slipcover Megathread

This thread was amazing..!! Is there a reason why no one ever posted here anymore? I'd love to see all the Canadian beauty slips
It kinda just fell to the side once individual threads began to be posted instead.
Here's a question from another thread regarding slipcovers in Canada and which ones have bilingual text:
I figured I'd repost my answer here since it seems like the best spot for it. Here ya go...
-------------------------------------
Distributors in Canada are a confusing, fickle bunch. Basically, it kinda goes like this...
Disney: All-English slipcovers (identical to the ones in the U.S.) across Canada except in Quebec where they sell both the all-English slipcover and an alternate bilingual slipcover.
Universal/Fox/Sony/Warner/Paramount: Nearly identical to the slipcovers sold in the U.S., but with bilingual text (only exception being Warner's TV releases -- those are identical to the U.S. release and without bilingual text). Sometimes a Canadian-exclusive distributor will pick up film rights for Canada over one of these guys. In that case, the slipcover would be different than the U.S. slipcover.
eOne/VVS/Mongrel/Elevation: A bilingual, Canadian exclusive slipcover not found in any other country.
Funimation/Shout & Scream Factory/HBO/Starz/Criterion: Identical to the slipcovers in the U.S.
I'm sure there's smaller distributors that I'm forgetting about, but this should at least give you an idea of what it's like trying to find non-bilingual slipcovers here.

Version of The Jungle Book available everywhere in Canada:
Version of The Jungle Book available only in Quebec (unless you order off a website like Amazon -- then you can buy it from anywhere):

This Walmart USA Exclusive will be available in Canada too. Red embossed title with bonus booklet. @tridon @kaw @AlienKing @Actarus @Drum18 @rj531 @PunkNinja @bloodsnake007
Oh nice! I was actually hoping for a slip that would be similar to the original, but oh well. I'll take it; embossing is a nice touch.
I'm 99% sure the DVD had a slipcover but the Bluray didn't. May be someone else can confirm?
