Yeah, probably a global release as MU was...If it follows the same pattern...

Zavvi - Pass
FNAC - Pick up at some stage
Kimchi + Blufans

the zavvi artwork is just rockin, if it changes to this as a worldwide release I'll directly cancel it

same to me- goddamn why they even change the artwork?
i will go mad if i think about what they did with the great gatsby steelbook.

 

[psychoscot]

Seeing this now, i'm pretty sure the Zavvi release will have the same artwork. I really hope that isn't the case, but that is what history suggests.

If this is what the zavvi one will look like then It's a definite cancel for me. I only ordered the zavvi one because of the art.

i dont like this artwork with the red border. can`t imagine that zavvi will change the artwork to this cause it wouldn`t match with the others from zavvi`s disney collection then.

The updated artwork does not have a red border

The Zavvi art is the theatrical poster art. Think it will be the same titleless artwork worldwide.

I love a new artwork.

 

[goufcustom]

Disney did it again... easy pass for me (my wallet says thanks )

 

[NinjaFeetz]

The new cover is better IMO, but I'm not liking the title-less spine.

 

[Menouthis]

I will get this on the condition that:

1. Zavvi retains their own unique cover artwork.
2. FNAC retains this new Elsa-only cover as their artwork.

I don't see the need to double-dip for the same cover.

Still waiting for the GB

Title-less spine doesn't bother me

Ditto. Still not a fan of the French title though. Makes it feel like one of those mockbusters.

It's a Fnac it will be mine

If this is the artwork for Zavvi, they can keep it. I am so sick of titleless spines and titleless front covers. There is NO reason to do this. It doesn't look better on the shelf with no title on the spine. It doesn't look better when you look at the cover and see no title to the movie that you bought. Like I've said a million times, the title is part of the branding of the movie. It's part of the appeal. The name. If you are talking to a friend and they ask "What movie did you see last night" You don't show them a picture of artwork and point like a mute. No. You say "Frozen! It was soooo good." (or whatever). You say ... "Oh man... I went to see The Lone Ranger. It was better than people are saying!". The title is the identity.

Enough with these unbranded unidentified steelbooks!

The worldwide releases are untitled because there is no universal language. Just as I hear people complain about a French or German title, others will have a problem with an English title. Imagery is universal, but no matter which way you go (text or not) someone will be unhappy. That's just how it is.

I could argue that no title on the front sometimes does look better but there should always be one on the spine.

Common Korea. Announce this then give us a clear slip with title to save this release like monsters university

Imagery is universal, but no matter which way you go (text or not) someone will be unhappy. That's just how it is.

I would say that English is pretty universal. In any case, the film is originally in English, the title is English and therefore the title on the front should be in English. If regional language variations are required, it doesn't take much effort to produce a slip or J-card that covers the English title with the title in a language relevant to the specific country it is being sold in. I personally would not mind at all if every film had the title in its original language on the cover. At the end of the day, this isn't Disney being sensitive to language differences, it is them wanting to save money when it comes to producing Steelbooks.

Personally, if Zavvi stick with the artwork they are displaying, then I will pre-order. If they change it to match this one (as I am expecting), then I will wait for a price drop. The vast majority of title-less Steelbooks are total crap. The only one I actually like is the UK version of The Hurt Locker but I still think that one would have been better with a title.

I too would prefer a title. I figure since the majority of SBs are already in English that should be the standard (as well as G2 sizing). I just figure they're trying not to isolate certain markets. I think the FNAC one is beautiful, but I would probably go with the current design at Zavvi just to keep my collection consistent on the spines.
