Yeah, also annoyed that we have to wait so long to see that. It was the same last year with The Princess and the Frog.

Oh well, at least the movie will be relatively fresh in my mind when I finally meet Rapunzel. :)

It's layers of paper! :o

Here's the link ( http://britsketch.blogspot.com/2011/01/ ... -that.html ) to the post on the creator's blog that shares the story of this masterpiece and close-up photos. I'm totally going to follow this woman's blog!

It looks like artwork from the ride they're building at DisneyWorld...

Great job indeed! :)

Could you guys imagine if this were the cover for the next release? :o

I'd pee myself.

But no, we're going to get a sideways title, an enormous floating Ariel head with Flounder and Sebastian underneath.

Wow! It's classy. Disney wouldn't have the cover of the USA's Diamond Edition release look anywhere near that good.

That's just wishful thinking.

Wow, that cover is pretty much breathtaking. So therefore, as you guys said, no way on earth will Disney give us that !!!

Though mind you, the French Special Exitions from a few years back were almost as good as that. Especially the Cinderella Special Edition single disc release.

That is a REALLY good cover! Finally someone drew a NEW pose for her and made it a really, REALLY good one that really tells what the film is about while still only using one character and one background in a simple yet effective and beautiful design. Impressive. That person needs to be commended, where did you find that? I feel like her hair should be longer and more flowy but that's it!

The only thing I don't like is the sketch on the back. It's a nice idea but it wrecks continuity. A sketch of Ariel floating in the same environment a colored and shaded Ariel is in? Doesn't make any sense. Replace that with Ursula or Sebastian or something (and then make the Ursula in the shell some other scene or character) and it's perfect!

The disc art also needs Ariel. Somewhere. How about the shadowy version of her swimming to the surface out of her grotto to the ship, the scene that I believe that background is even taken from?

Good Cover?

With Ariel looking the other way?

If it was like this:

or this:

or this:

But the steelbook version looks odd.

PS

My opinion.

I'm thinking they're going to carry the same template as recent releases. Main picture and small characters in right corner

My quick mock up

To be honest, I think we have gotten a pretty good template as to what the Diamond Edition will be through the Ariel's Beginning DVD cover.

HUGE Ariel head focusing on an object with smaller characters underneath her. Probably just add in Eric (probably randomy floating on a water background) then we have our cover. OR we will possibly get two Ariels this time; main focus on mermaid Ariel, small squshed human Ariel in a bottom corner or something, like the Pocahontas Bluray.

Or it could be like the Pocahontas cover and have Ariel in all her different outfits. Mermaid Ariel, pajamas Ariel, "Tour of the Kingdom" Ariel, wedding dress Ariel, fancy dinner Ariel.

More costume changes than Madonna in Evita. 8)

They should might as well make the cover with huge Ariel head flinging towards you with a Japanese man with a guillotine in the far background.

Disney can use this not only to promote TLM, but also promote anti-whaling as well.
