I saw this for the second time tonight. I think I have figured out what I really loved about it and what makes it stand out. It's not like all the other dumb, big hollywood movies. It's sophistacted, charming and it's more touching than any other movie during the Christmas season. I would love to see Rachel-Hurd Wood go on to more things. She's just wonderful! Her charm, looks and personality are all adorable. I also love how it has a British cast. They bring really nice sprinkles of humor to the movie as well as charm. I just sat there with a huge grin on my face while watching this movie.

yeah i hope a few more people go to see this.  i'd say it can stand next to the disney animated version as a 'classic' telling of the story.

possibly the WORST DVD COVER ART I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE....



i challenge anyone to come up with worse dvd cover art for a film that was a major studio release and had a cool poster.

Her fucking teeth.........
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Ouch...I can't wait for the dvd but the cover art is just awful

It's an eye candy cover for the sake of getting families to actually SEE IT when it was released. Can't you AT LEAST except the world of marketing?

Henry Hill

:shock:     Somebody please make a new cover on dvdcoverart.com. That cover just looks terrible.

Finn

I don't understand why they couldn't just have the poster image on the dvd case. It would look just fine for a video cover. The studio is probably just mad because it cost 100 million dollars to make and it made one fourth of that at the box office.

Quote from: CinephileCan't you AT LEAST except the world of marketing?
yeah marketing is all well and good, but GODDAMN cant they use someone with an eye for design to make the dvd?  (or atleast better photoshop skills?)  seriously, the fact that they could make such a cool poster that probably took months and months, and now because they could care less, they get someone to throw together some awful piece of shit in 5 minutes.  why are families compelled to see something that looks like a piece of shit?  i mean, the cover makes the movie look like some cheap ass made for tv thing made for preschoolers.  which its not.  like, i cant even have something so hideous on my shelf.  as filmboy said, someone needs to go put together a good one QUICK!

it's just a dvd cover, you're supposed to watch the movie on the disc not the cover. geez...

but the packaging is an important part of the presentation!  just like the menu screens, or extras!  and plus its HIDEOUS!

On the bright side: No ghetto snaps.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.
