Overall I like the look on this steelbook, I like that the background is orange, inside and backside artworks are great, but the face of Hercules on the front annoys me so much, I might aswell pass for this steelbook.

Cannot wait to pre-order this despite the weird front but Hercules has never gotten any decent front artworks anyway. Love that Hades has a place too'

 

[dfoles]

Damn.... Not my idea.

 

[Mojo]

Love that back artwork! But yeah Hercules' face kinda looks a bit like the troll face

 

[whited001]

Nice, but front isn't as striking as Mulan IMHO.

 

[lgans316]

Looks like an improvised Blu-ray frame packaging.

 

[Last Lizard]

Thanks Zavvi that face is gonna give me nightmares tonight.

I like it. Nice and bright colours which suit the tone of the film, and great back art.

 

[ALK]

The back is VERY awesome. Just hope the gloss really brings out the gold/yellowish orange.

I like the art! This could have some really great embossing! fingers crossed!

 

[Mexicanhat]

WOW looks nice

 

[chunk]

Cancelled my copy when the title was announced as I've never seen this film but I think they have done a great job here, the back is awesome

Another home run!

Disney are seriously spoiling us with great artwork on these Zavvi exclusives lately. I love these border designs... they add a lot of colour and make the main image really stand out.

Might just be me, but I am not liking the gold on this. Artwork is

 

[Mrhoyt]

Artwork feels kind of cheap, like a german 10,99 release...

Loving the gold colour border. The collection was missing some yellow .

 

[mkdfan]

So many awesome characters on it, Hercules, Meg, Phil, Pegasus, Hades, Centaur, Hydra, the Fates. Someone for everyone. They could have easily made this blue but they took a risk and made it yellow/gold. I'm guessing it will look different in the flesh, more golden perhaps.

I am a fan of this artwork - I've not even seen Hercules but it definitely seems to be one of the more cult Disney (w/o Pixar) films released in the last 20 years

 

[Steeler]

This is a pretty poor effort imo. They could easily have done better. What I love is the border. If they could make it gold or copper like Cleopatra it would be great, but the artwork itself is hideous. Just look Hercules's expression. And that lightning bolt looks like a stretched out Mickey Mouse cap. I think this is one of the truly underrated Disney comedies, and it has a distinctive art style that I love, so I hoped it would win this round.

EDIT: ... and the back and inside art is a nightmare. The smoke in the background reminds me of the Fantasia steel.
