Not to be a stick-in-the-mud - you guys did tremendous work on those covers - but I don't think SOTS fits in with the "Disney Treasures" line of product. To my knowledge, Disney has only put 2 feature films in DT collections, "The Reluctant Dragon" and "Victory Through Air Power", but both of those appeared as part of collections of (arguably) "wider" scope ("Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studios" and "On the Front Lines", respectively). Seems to me that SOTS would only fit then under the auspices of a larger "collection"... (I shudder to think of the ideas some of you guys could come up with! ) Anyway, I always thought that the "Disney Classics" series was where this film belonged - hence the "frame spine" I added to the sleeve Doctor M posted above. (My "tweak" of a found artwork/sleeve...) When I came up with "VERY LIMITED ISSUE" (in small letters at the top of the "frame spine"), it gave me a chuckle...

Of the two main artwork themes, I prefer the colorful one (from the UK VHS). Not that I like the color so much (it really isn't a good representation of the color in the film, to be sure!) but the kids look more like themselves in this image (except for Bobby Driscoll's hair looking blonde). I'm not even sure that was really Luana Patten in the "walking over the hill" picture; sure doesn't look like her...
