I love the Sleeping Beauty covers with Maleficent in them. Especially the first one, how Aurora is so worried about touching the spindle, but Maleficent is making her.

I love that Cinderella picture so, so, so, so much! It captures one of the reasons I love that movie! Thank you Vlad!!!

Yay!

1. The "Gallery Book" of the Target Exclusive. This is cheating, since it's a book cover and not a film cover, but it looks just like a Mondo version!

2. Blu-ray (Japan)

3. Blu-ray (Germany) (This is cracking me up for some reason)

4. Blu-ray (Korea) (Yay Gabby Gabby and the dummies!)

4. 4K UHD

5. 4K UHD (Japan)

6. 4K UHD (UK) / Target Exclusive

I'm surprised that their dad isn't on more covers.

I haven't seen this film, but the Australian and Japanese covers are the nicest ones to look at to me.

2. Blu-ray Australia
3. Target
4. 4K UHD
5. Best Buy Steelbook

When I first scrolled down, I really liked the Best Buy one, but then I saw that the other 2 similar ones showed the Soul world, and I much preferred those. And Target before 4K because of Me. Mittens' expression!

The Swedish theatrical poster of "The Swan Princess" from 1995. :lol:
Did anyone else have this poster too in your country?

It makes me think of a bad imitation of some Pocahontas stills / posters (I'm thinking of the shot where she looks at John Smith through the mist of the waterfall).

I have not seen that, either! I hope that wasn't the only way they were advertising the film! It's a sad looking posted!

Here are my rankings for the last three films:

Toy Story 4

1. 4K UHD (Japan)
2. Blu-ray (Korea)
3. Blu-ray (Japan)
4. Target Exclusive
5. 4K UHD (UK)

Onward

1. Blu-ray (Japan)
2. Blu-ray Slipcover (Korea)
3. DVD (Korea)
4. Blu-ray (Korea)
5. Blu-ray (Australia)

Soul

1. Blu-ray (Japan)
2. Blu-ray (Australia)
3. Target Exclusive
4. 4K UHD
5. Best Buy Steelbook

I noticed after doing my rankings that the Soul one is exactly the same as yours, blackcauldron85! I promise I didn't copy. :P

It does! I looked it up and that artwork was actually made for the IMAX poster, but it's by an artist who has made many Mondo posters, so that explains why it has the same style.

Well, now that we have finished with the Pixar films I guess it's time to decide what covers we want to do next, right? My vote is to do the live-action/animation hybrids (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Enchanted, etc). But there are other options like the DTV sequels, the live-action remakes, and I think there have been other suggestions that I don't remember now. What do the rest of you prefer?

^ Good covers, I never would have thought you copied!

Yes with the hybrid films and DTVs! There are so many live-action; would they be grouped together somehow or one each week or something?

Yeah, the hybrids, then the sequels and remakes. Of course, with the sequels and remakes, there probably aren't that many covers, so you could probably pair some of them together, especially sequels. For example, have the covers for Cinderella II and III at the same time, Simba's Pride and TLK1 & 1/2 together, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass together, Maleficent and Mistress of Evil together, etc. :)

I agree with all you guys said. I think we should do it the way Disney's Divinity suggested.

So it seems like there's a consensus about the hybrid folms so we'll do those first, we'll start with The Reluctant Dragon and since Victory Through Air Power has only one cover we'll do it as well.
