That's quite disappointing. Artwork and finish are worse than TJB. I kinda wish I had cancelled this now.

 

[yeslek]

a user has just posted pictures of this over at Blu-ray.com

its a matte finish with minimal rear and interior artwork, sadly.


EDIT - think that same user has just posted above. Damn this place moves fast. lol

 

[pmwhelan]

Glad I cancelled my preorder for this.

I quite like the water with a few bubbles art on the rear and the front is still stunning - best artwork choice and layout of all Zavvi's Disney steels so far....but lack of much inside is just lazy

 

[ajninfedih]

I love the front cover, but the rest is such a letdown.

 

[movieknight]

I have to agree with many of the previous posters here.

Come on Disney, of all companies - world of creativity & imagination - where were those attributes when it came to designing the art work for this Steelbook? I hope this is not a reflection of future films you will release because it does not speak well.

Pics are up at br.com. Disappointing indeed. Blank rear and blank inside so no other characters are shown. Poor showing from Disney this, they've gone from innovative (Roger Rabbit) to bog standard in only a few months...

If it was at least glossy it would have improved it. Sigh....I was really looking forward to this one. I got the Aladdin one because I thought together they would be awesome together and after Junglebook looking so good, I expected more of the same high quality....
We can't forget that the reason why Disney doesn't release "steelbooks" in the states (where Disney is headquartered) is that they got in a business battle with the company that makes steelbooks. Maybe that has something to do with their "lack of creativity or desire to create a quality steelbook"

Beautiful and disappointing at the same time.
For the price almost insolence.

 

[Shanester]

It looks like they gave up after designing the cover

Come on Disney if you're going to charge premium pricing then make it worth while

 

[MK50]

But now we are sure WHY they have not shown Pics from the back or inside before they shipped them

Think it will look the best when still sealed... then it looks a bit more"shiny"

 

[hayemaker]

I hope blank backs don't become a theme for the rest of Zavvi's 'Disney collection'.

 

[gwyper]

It's alright but when compared to Aladdin and Jungle Book it's disappointing.

 

[Iron wolf]

If they charged £22.99 id atleast expect a high quality glossy finish.

 

[davidson]

Thanks for the pics. Any word on region coding?

edit: Just saw the last pic up close, region free it seems.

 

[manunited]

Regionfree..See the last Pic...

 

[Ardu]

Sad about the "non-existing" inside artwork. Will put a custom inside artwork in to enhance it.

 

[Maccadeez1989]

This steelbook should have the letters debossed with a high gloss finish, it would look so good.

 

[hatredhorror]

wtf it looks crazy good imo

 

[tristar6]

Damn! Zavvi had to post pictures before they start shipping..that hurts now.

 

[dv8mad]

I thought there would be something more to this steelbook at least. Some bubbles and seaweed?
Zavvi won't be fooling me again. I'll be holding out for more pics before placing an order next time.
