Sony's repackaged Muppet DVDs

[Muppet fan 123]

I still can't get over how bootleged these look.

Uh... actually...

Bootlegs tend to have the actual movie posters on them. Low res ones, fuzzy ones...ones that are often printed off a home computer, but the actual movie poster.

And sometimes the wrong movie poster. Ha!

Good point. But they still look really fake.
They look like these fan-made things you would see on deviantART. And a really bad one too!

Mo Frackle does better photoshop than this! (He's really good, btw)

It's a shame when the official looks worse than the fake.

I'm not going to subject you to the Hong Kong VCD of Muppets From Space again, but it's Here if anyone's curious. You'll know it when you see it. There's like 2 Kermits in it. And that's the least of your problems. And THAT looked like a better effort than these.

 

[CaseytheMuppet]

Oh, no please don't show us THAT again!

i know, you could probably give a child this job and they could do a better cover than these ones

It's not so much bad for me as terribly bland.

Disney FINALLY made some new posers, and I'm sure that we're going to see them on way too many products in no time. I'm guessing Disney didn't give Sony access to these.

So I guess I'm the only one who likes them? I don't really like the fact that they are essentially "tricking" people into buying them, but I DO love that they are front and center in the (discount) shelves of the main stores. its good exposure for the Brand. I always rearrange them so that if there is more than one in a pile, I take it and put it in front of other dvds so it looks like there are more and you have no choice but to see them.

However, like I said, this is a bit like taking a current photo of Julie Andrews or a screen-cap from Princess' Diaries and slapping it on a dvd-edition of Sound of Music.
