I like the sideways title. I don't like the matte finish, back, or inside "artwork"

 

[Jango]

yes, the sideway title doesnt make any sense... what were they thinking??

people keep making excuses for it but its plain wrong and bad design.

people went crazy in this forum when it was announced and wanted exactly this art over evrything. so they probably just where thinking to listen to the customers....

 

[levi]

hope they use art like this and not a cluttered pic like Aladdin. I threw this together to see what it would look like. They should use this lol

NOT OFFICIAL ART: CUSTOM MADE BY ME

hmmm. this looks infinitely better to me, simply putting the title the right way up makes all the difference

I agree that is better but the Zavvi way is not horrible. I just wish they had gone with better art for the back and inside and made that baby all wet and glossy instead of all dry and itchy.

why thank you. I forgot I had made that lol

60K Printrun confirmed

Thats ridiculous. They went fron 5K with Aladdin to 60K with JB and LM. What executives bright idea was that? Well they learned from those disaster releases as its clearly biting them in the butt (giving away fee copies etc.). Life lesson....never get too greedy.

60K Printrun confirmed

Where did you get this information?

[stephen3001]

If that 60K figure is true, Zavvi may have to go down the burial route, a la Atari and ET.

There is a lot more Disney films to go in this collection. I bet you that at least one more will get a sideways title.

Personally, I don't mind it at all. That's the way it was originally, and I'm glad they have kept it.

It most certainly was not like that originally. The original poster had a horizontal title. It was changed to vertical for the blu ray release only. See here: http://www.impawards.com/1989/posters/little_mermaid_ver1_xlg.jpg

Eehhh guys i thought the smilies would do their work. But they didnt.

There is no proofed printrun. Its just a virtual number, because the steel is still in stock!

Just noticed that if you add this to the basket on Zavvi it automatically reduces to 9.99, no need to order with anything else! Possible glitch?

It's not a glitch, the 'sale' includes selling TJB and TLM at £9.99 each, no other purchases necessary. See here

 

[Norwichlad]

If only we knew how 'limited' this really was instead of all rushing to pay £23

Thanks for the heads up! There was nothing else in that promotion that interested me as I'm not a Disney fan, but now I have a fantastic present for my girlfriend this Christmas!!

 

[digitalbabe]

Correct, The Jungle Book and Little Mermaid are both 9.99 GBP as part of their current sales promotions. No other purchases are necessary.

And yes, while a joke by tristar, the 60K number is not correct. Please don't help perpetuate incorrect info. It causes unnecessary moaning and groaning

60K was way off....it was probably closer to 85k.
