My fannish blog for animated media, both Disney and non-Disney.
Disney's Pocahontas on Blu-Ray
Because Disney has a practice of releasing its animated films for limited periods every seven years, I went to check if Pocahontas is out on Blu-Ray (I only have it on DVD) and I found that it was released on Blu-Ray this year! But... not part of any Platinum/Diamond/whatever release and... this is the cover:
How about:
- No.
- You can and have done so much better, Disney, come on.
- I actually saw this cover on Blu-Ray dot com first and dismissed it because ahaha, no way.
- If I saw this cover on a book, I'd assume that it's a knock-off or cheap tie-in.
- I'm going to think positive and hope that they're saving themselves for the 25th or 30th anniversary.
ETA: I went poking around some DVD/Blu-Ray forums and some people truly like this cover, and dislike the art of the busier covers like for the Musical Masterpiece Collection (which I do like for the colours and dynamic posing, compared to the flat, static clipart-style art). I started to second-guess myself but... no, I cannot forget my immediate recoil when I saw the above cover.
