I forwarded your PM on to James, who is more adept at looking at technical issues on the forum. :)

That is a nice cover. I'm looking forward to seeing if this one has any new features.

I don't have the old version so new features doesn't really matter for me.
I just noticed that there's no Disney Movie Rewards logo on the cover,so this may not be the final one,or it won't change (I just think that they should make a new logo and this cover is perfact).

Well, the old version might not matter to me either if they do a good job at restoring this into High Def.

The Sleeping Beauty restoration was great.

That is a beautiful cover! With the way the lighting is, you can bet that's going to be holographic on the Blu slipcover, ala Sleeping Beauty. It only needs a few touch-ups, such as Grumpy's face (all the dwarfs actually, but Grumps the worst) and the Prince and the horse. And I love how it doesn't have the title in the middle, if only they could do that more often.

The concept of it is good though, it's like they're trying to mimic the old fashioned posters, nice! And I like how it doesn't have a special logo. At times they can take up too much space. Kind of has a border anyway, with the black hues off of the Evil Queen.

Snowy herself also looks off-model. I would bet that this gets spruced up a bit between now and then. Also, I hate this new "Walt Disney" thing they've got going on...just slapping his signature name on there regardless of it being a classic, a recent release or even a direct to video.

But the basic design is pretty neat. I'm hoping for some of the archival film elements to be presented in HD, and still have fingers crossed that someone out there thinks that completing The Soup Song - as was mooted several years ago - would be a neat idea for an alternate edition (don't forget that Dopey still spurts out that spoon in the completed film, which doesn't explain where it comes from until The Soup Song makes it clear).

That's a pretty nice cover, and a nice departure from the layouts they've used the past couple of years.

So you"re saying that the Evil Queen makes it like a special logo? (Thought TinkerBell didn't and I think that also Bolt don't have special logos thought the merchandise and other things had a speical logo).
About the Dwarfs-Dopey,Happy,Doc and Bashful looks good,I don't mind Grumpy.
The Prince and the horse does look like a screencap.

For Snowy-She's supposed to be a little more chubby and she looks more skinny in the cover.
About the Walt Disney Pictures I also noticed that,it's not even presents and they do slap it on every DVD.

Her face? I don't know,that's how she looks in the merchandise thought.
But she looks very good and better then the old edition IMO.
I think she looks more skinny thought.

It could be the angle of her face, but her eyes look like they're too far apart.
