Yes, but not all of them. The number is on the spine of the J card. The first few that were released were not numbered though.

The numbers reflect the order in which the classic animation films were released in the cinema in the UK at least, not Zavvi's order of steelbooks

So, uhm, Zavvi has this cover up for the amaray Beauty and the Beast 3D. What … the … holy … hell? If they use this cover for the steelbook … It looks like a children's book!

Oh, hells to the no...that's horrid.

Yeah, I'm quite in shock about it actually. It's a cute picture, but on birthday napkins, not as a movie cover for one of Disney's most beloved classics of all time!

Well as Zavvi / Disney do like to use art from other releases (such as blu rays and dvds) they will probably use art similar to the DVD release

I don't think the DVD cover is so bad, even though it is a little busy. Gaston and Maurice should be left out of it. Gaston is very off model.

That is horrid..although there is NO way that will be the final artwork. You can't have a steel without The Beast :-D

 

[Mrhoyt]

I loved this, without the text

It's not even temporary art. That's the new style for Disney classics amarays.

Seriously?! I'm glad my Norwegian blu-ray collection is almost complete, because this is complete bulls***t! Where is the beast? Must be a British thing, these covers. In Norway, several of the blu-rays have original VHS art!

 

[traceysws]

Totally agree about the new art work. Like everyone has said, where's the Beast, but I'm quite offended by the yellow background to be honest.

 

[justboy]

I don't think Zavvi will be using that yellow cover since they've been using the old DVD art for most if the releases.

Indeed, the artwork will probably either be the 3D Blu ray amary art or the DVD art (which I posted a few posts back)

Its doubtful Zavvi / Disney would use the exact same art as a new re-release of the movie for the Steelbook

 

[roo]

As the release date for that (horrible) amaray is November 10th, is it likely to be the same release date for the steelbook?

Looks like the counterpart to the "Villains" line Disney released earlier in the year which was just a portrait of the villain on the slip cover with the regular blu ray artwork underneath. I'm guessing this is the "Heroes" or "Princesses" line and that cover is just a cardboard slip.

 

[roo]

There's a similar cover for The Lion King too

I agree with you. From pictures elsewhere that is just the slipcover picture with the original artwork on the Amaray although it seems that the UK number system

This looks better, but what is it with the bulked up front legs? He looks like Schwarznegger!

 

[lolwut]

That new amaray is terrible. As is the DVD art.
