It's well-documented that Walt didn't like Alice. He said that there was no heart to the character. He believed that they didn't achieve what they had with Cinderella in Alice or Peter in that you just don't feel for the character or root for the character.

1. Normally, UK covers are almost identical to the US releases, so saying you "tend to dislike UK DVD Disney covers" is like saying you "tend to dislike DVD Disney covers"...
2. It's very unlikley that this is the final cover - the clipart of the Genie is straight off the Platinum Edition (if they're removed Aladdin from the line, wouldn't they want people to not be reminded that it was there in the first place?), the banner has never been that big, and the dark blue glob under the Disney DVD logo hasn't been on a DVD in
aaaages, and where's the FastPlay logo? (Although the fact that the certification logos are there threatens that theory...)
3. The information bar looks like something off one of the 2-movie packs such as The Fox and the Hound double-pack or the Mulan double-pack, so it's possible that what we're seeing is just a slipcover.
4. I completely agree with you about Aladdin, though I would have phrased it exactly like that...
