As long as it's not a non-anamorphic release, I'm fine with that!
They just wanna ram that Aladdin Rip-off mentality to the ground with this!
At least we'll be getting an anamorphic widescreen version that will undoubtedly be superior to the R2 release.

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.)
I try not to look too carefully at that, since I know it would put me in a bad mood!
I only wish the card bit was more like what we had in the film and the cards are shuffled above Zig Zag's head in a fashion that could've looked brilliant in pop-up form! Wouldn't mind a pull-tab feature showing the Thief with the pole vault bit.
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.

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.
The whole thing looks like a totally different movie to me!
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.

Let's pray for that! (and hopefully not get DVNR-ed to hell either)
