To be fair the original Zavvi release wasn't great at all IMO, the Future Shop one was much better. I am predicting this be better than the first Zavvi release.
Agree. This cover is a million times better than the original release.
The original looks like it should be the cover of SHARK TALE.
Yeah, thats true actually, i don't remember multiple steelbook releases of the same movie in the dvd format.........maybe, but i can't recall. For instance, HMVs Definitive edition steelbooks of Terminator, Predator 1&2, Conan, Alien, Aliens, etc, - i only remember only those steelbook releases, in UK, of those films, and i thought those steelbooks were really good. But, there were limited edition slipcovers of those films too.......if i recall correctly. Like you said also, they're trying to justify more steelbook releases of the same title by doing pop art, adding lentls, slips, etc.
I didn't say that to judge the film itself or liken it to Shark tale....The first time I saw that steelbook I said (reflexively)I agree that the artwork for this new release is better than the original (and for that matter the Viva from FutureShop since those two shared the same art assets), but I think it's a bit overkill to say that the original was so bad that it should be associated with an irredeemably awful film like Shark Tale. LOL

"Oh look, A SHARK TALE steelbook" before I saw the title. That original steelbook cover doesn't fit the overall tone of FINDING NEMO.
It would fit perfectly with SHARKS TALE, though.
Oh...How I DO love the cash-in copy films!
You know what? I didn't even KNOW about HD DVD Steelbooks! Did they/ do they really exist? I've never, ever seen one. Didn't even think of that at all. Wow!Steelbook HD DVDs? Anyone? Anyone?
I'd actually buy some of those even now if they weren't terribly expensive. I had considered a few of them just after the format went away once I started getting into Steelbooks for Blu-ray movies. Heck, I still have my HD DVD player, two of the HD DVD playback add-ons for the Xbox 360 (which I still have), and more HD DVDs than I know what to do with thanks to a lot of 2 for $10 sales that occurred right when it was all but confirmed the format was going extinct.
A bit off topic but they did, there was T2, Deathproof and one called Strip mind!You know what? I didn't even KNOW about HD DVD Steelbooks! Did they/ do they really exist? I've never, ever seen one. Didn't even think of that at all. Wow!

........i was one of those, "No, not me" types. Then i got a new tv, then blu ray player and sound system, and thay was it - was really impressed with how older horror films looked (Zombie flesheaters, etc) and then the steelbooks came out - with the great artwork, so thats when i kind started to "collect", as it were, but only select films that i love and have re-watch value for me.AHA, goood stufff!

Sold Out
Release date change
31st March 2017
I expect that date to change as 31st March is a Friday
Unfortunately as the Lenticular was super gorgeous with excellent depth and sharpness, and the Steelbook was made glossy instead of dull matte, the execs at UK Disney decided to blur and crop it. Hence the release has been pushed.
