It looks good, but why are they using the same images front and back?

Good question..is this a disney issue? Or just a lack of imagination?
Maybe they want the HDN crew to come up with suggestions?

 

[lgans316]

It is laziness and they want to cut down cost by keeping the artwork on one side minimal.

 

[rbarnes182]

I like it looks great

 

[Shanester]

Would have been nicer with different coloring. Looks very similiar to Aladdin but still a must own

 

[severo]

i love the front and the inside artwork!

the back art could be better, but all in all it's what i expected (and hoped for)!

 

[jeffster15]

It looks very nice imo, for sure needs to be glossy and have the title embossed like Aladdin.

 

[Kurgen1975]

These will also be the lowest runs we have ever produced on Disney Classic titles - Thought Roger Rabbit was the lowest?

Front looks good but the back is again a part copy/paste from the front.

Roger Rabbit isn't a Disney Classic

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Roger Rabbit isn't a Disney Classic

Maybe not...but its nethertheless a classic in most peoples eyes


Lady and the Tramp steel looks good! Glad they kept to this cover Though the back looks a tad boring...why have part of the same thing thats on the front?!

 

[snooloui]

im sure they realized most people complained about the lack of "art" on the back of jb and mermaid so they stuck a repetitive image on the back to try to keep folks happy

honestly with all three being the same concept of back artwork its a slap in the face

I like the front on all three of their future disney releases but maybe as a community we can run a poll and possibly get something changed ?

A design feature which makes these more of a collection like people have been asking for is 'a slap in the face'? I like the idea, they just need to use a different image from what they have used on the front.

 

[ALK]

Yup, almost certain we'll get that iconic spaghetti scene for the front. XD

Maybe that bit where they write lovey dovey stuff in wet cement for the inside?

Bugger me, NAILED the inside! XD

Thanks for taking my suggestion Zavvi! X3

 

[Marina Blue]

WOW!!!!! Beautiful classic, like the film!

 

[Jango]

i love this disney wave but the backart is sadly a little bummer again. it's still better than a clean back like jb and lm but why is it now always a scene that is already shown on the front?

 

[justboy]

The back art would be really nice if the front image was different.
Overall I'm happy with this and will definitely be adding to my collection!

 

[DasFueller]

I don't like the frame around the title somehow. Other than that it looks great!

 

[southam1978]

Really nice art

 

[bigducknfish]

The more i look at this (and all of Disneys) the more i see that they just don't want their carefully cultivated brands messed with. We're talking history, tradition, and brand recognition - it's just not for sale. Fair enough.

For me, it will come down to the finish - if the finish is as lush with lustre as the pictures suggest, then i have no problem at all with the artwork, even the back being slightly repetitive. After all, what modern times & methods CAN inject into a new release, if its not getting a radical overhaul, is at least the best that modern printing can produce. And, with Zavvi, and with past experience, I guess i just want to see it in hand - if it lacks the suggested lustre then it's a fail in these modern times.

If they are gloating about low production figures of 4000 (and don't reveal it until the 11th hour, surprise, surprise), then I guess when they say "vibrant", that we should tone things down a little and await another surprise. Afterall, how many steelbooks are being released with a finish that delights us compared to those that disappoint us?

Think about it.

Damn I've been trying hard to cut down down on releases and now this looks so awesome. I've currently got normal amaray but I got it free on Disney rewards so technically I can trade it in and use the money towards this steel. Lucky this won't be out until February so ill preorder and then decide.

 

[BDDB]

Just what the Doctor ordered, very happy

 

[AlexG]

Did they say when the pre order will be live today or tomorrow?

 

[DrH]

I hope it is as good as the Aladdin Steel

Another preorder as soon as it is live
