That pop-up cover is horrendous. Especially Tack, who has never been correctly depicted in any post-Williams official material for the film. (Yum-Yum is probably a close second.)
And look! Tack and Yum-Yum. Riding a freakin' magic carpet. Now there's a scene we all remember. Unfortunately, it's from the wrong movie.
Shame. Zig-Zag with the cards and the Thief grasping at the balls are at least vaguely semi-quasi-Williams-esque. But they moved the balls to the top of the palace, which, judging by its design, is also from the wrong movie.
I long for the day when promotion for the film will stop drawing associations with that other movie. Judging by this cover, today is not that day.
At least we'll be getting an anamorphic widescreen version that will undoubtedly be superior to the R2 release.
