You're very welcome,
blackcauldron85!
I just send
Farerb some of the international covers;
Farerb does most of the job. And I agree, it's a very enjoyable thread for me too. I love revisiting the old covers and discovering new ones. For example, there was a
Bedknobs and Broomsticks cover I hadn't seen since my childhood. It was actually the first thing I saw about the film, so for me it was very special, but I had actually forgotten it existed. I was so happy to see it again. It's the one below, by the way. Same with many others.

The funny thing is doesn't look like the Giselle in-film animated character, nor like Amy Adams!
Just realised it is traced directly off the standard Amy Adams photograph that adorns so many other covers. I guess it must have been tricky transcribing the caricatured animated Giselle design to realistic proportions without budging an inch. It does seem like a slavish tracing and nothing else. Would the instruction to trace come from Disney themselves, or would it be a decision taken by the Brazilian branch of WDHE?
I'm rather curious how these things work.
While I was searching for covers for
Enchanted, I came across these
lenticular cards, which feature the same artwork; that proves it wasn't made by Disney Brazil. By the way, the Brazilian cover also has the characters both in animation and live-action. I think it's quite a good idea for a cover, but I agree about Giselle. Edward and Narissa look good because the artist used drawings taken directly from the film. I guess they didn't find any moment in it where Giselle has a similar pose as the one in the cover and that's why they decided to trace her. It's a shame they didn't do a better job at that because it ruins the whole cover. It reminds me of how Hercules was drawn in the
Spanish VHS of the film.
Speaking of
Enchanted, I think the interior of the French Collector's Edition is also quite cool:
