Okay, so here's the story with the cover. I made it about two years ago, and I lost the files one year ago with a hard drive crash. Maybe I have it backed up somewhere, but I don't think I do. What you're looking at is a scan of MY cover that I cleaned up in Photoshop so it doesn't look like a scan. Or, at least, not too much like a scan.

So, I can make changes, but not too many. For example, I forgot the fonts that I used (I'm sloppy, I apologize), so I can't make too many changes to the text. That being said, I think the bit about Br'er Bear and Rabbit came directly from the PAL video release. So, even if it's wrong, it's true disney propaganda. And I rounded the runtime up to "Approx. 95 minutes" because all the Treasures releases have very vague runtimes. I tried to ape the Treasures cases as much as possible in design and content.

Now, the Treasures cases don't list featurettes, which is why I list none on this case. But I should probably remove the bit about "The product being authorized" anyway. Would that be enough room? The Maltin and Disney signatures should also probably go. I know I wouldn't want my John Hancock on something I didn't approve. BUT I LIKE having the signatures there. Shame on me.

I'll try to adjust to everyone's needs, but it's a lot harder to do with a scan than the actual file. I don't really have time to recreate it. But hopefully enough people out there like it. That being said, I did a similar Treasures cover for Captain EO. Which I also lost. But could rescan.
