I think all these Disney steels are getting unfairly bashed just because they are not glossy. They are not bad by any means. Yes they could have been better, but they are what they are.

hate to say it but Jungle Book's the only one I've not been too keen on (not bad, but the worst I own IMO)

I know I'm among the minority, but I actually like and prefer a matte finish when done right. So far the Zavvi releases I've picked up have had good finishes.

I can't wait to see what this one looks like in person. Alice in Wonderland is my all-time favorite Disney movie.

I have higher hopes now that 101 Dalmations is in hand.

personally i think the artwork and the quality of the artwork is amazing i havent lacquered any of the recent disney ones , well bar peter pan as i wanted fairy dust , i love the pictures they use as they are not used anywhere else which is why i bought these and i actually look forward to seeing them in hand .
but glossy not glossy is all individual tastes , it does add extra depth to some pictiures and increase colour but sometimes not needed .
bring forth all these disney ones they are beautiful well apart from poppins thats poop

oh i just got a dispatch note

I agree if it has the same finish as 101 Dalmations, it will look amazing.

I'm just hoping they avoided random embossing on this one.

I really think the matte finishes have turned out nicer than expected (except Little Mermaid) and for this Disney line they should have specifically done titles that were gloss or matte based on which would have made that artwork look better. I personally think Alice would have been better as full gloss because of the purple. 101, dumbo, and Lady and the Tramp have been perfect as matte. Peter Pan would have been better as gloss. But one title that would have been AMAZING as matte (if done right) - my daughter was watching Pinocchio this morning, if this title would come out with the kind of matte that the last 4 have, it would be the best version for that artwork. sadly, all of our opinions are subjective and you can't please everyone.

The cat's head is inside the title banner, so expect his head to be embossed (and maybe just his head), like the house on Up and Cruella's head on 101 D. I see a clock. Let me see, round like the 101 D headlights...

Maybe they've delayed it to make it glossy.

I hope so .

That would be nice...either way I'm thankful for the respite.

Damn it! I canceled 101 D because I couldn't afford 2 steelbook's this month and now they delay this! If I only knew that I would have sticked with 101 D and in May I'd receive this :/
Very sad about, but what can I do....

Unfortunately Zavvi cut off Portugal from the country list they ship
They only ship pre-orders and orders done before 06/03/2014. After that date they won't ship anymore
Guess I'll have to try eBay
