Zootopia's Blu-Ray Cover Art

So I just looked at the cover art for the Blu-Ray, and I just gotta say, it's pretty fucking trash. Personally I don't understand how you can get paid to do this shit and it coming out looking like fanwank from Deviantart. You can't just paste a bunch of characters together on a generic background with wonky perspective and hope that people will buy it on face recognition. You have to try and make it aesthetically pleasing. Consider this, box art designers: the people who are buying this movie might not have been able to see it in theatres. The "oh you" look Judy's giving on the cover just makes the whole build-up of the first "Nick's a dick" scene boring, because it changes from "Is he or isn't he really just a misunderstood father?" to "we already know he's a shifty fox, look at him being smug- that's his whole character." It kind of fucks with the characterization a bit.
Also I have numerous complaints about spoiling the Mr. Big joke on the fucking cover art, but they did that in the adverts as well.
Honestly, though, it could have simply been a render of the city skyline with the title of the movie, and that would have been a better design.

How would you have made it, Sup Forums?

this wouldve been much better

A collage of every smug face Nick makes in the movie or this

I want to be in the judy and nick wedding!

My biggest problem with his one is that yoga lemming. It's not even a character, just an image made for a lululemmings joke... That's displayed proudly in the background, with the same lemming. To add to that, we've seen these characters cut and paste through the lazy online add campaign. We know it's a stock image collage and nothing organic or special made specially for the cover. It didn't even try to be good.

Jesus fuck man. I knew furries were crazy but you just ate the cake. Stop being so autistic over a fucking cover of a childrens movie search help please.

I'd go minimal as fuck. official logo on a classy white background with Nick's tail at the bottom right hand side with the "like nothing you've seen be-fur" tagline just above it. Possibly add a bunch of 4/5 star scores at the top because people dig that.

>Stop being so autistic
where do you think you are

Couldn't they have found one reviewer that gave them 5 stars?

It's out of 4 stars, anons

There is the Target exclusive edition cover. The Ultimate Collector edition also has its own cover, and the DVD has a different cover as well.

I personally prefer the DVD's cover. It's simple.

This is Target's.

Nobody buys regular DVDs anymore. But it's simple and to the point.

>Criticism is now autism

I do not like this one at all.

...

I would've made it exactly like this. For all your valid design points, this is a movie for children. Not families, children. They want to see a bunch of cutsey characters.

You enjoy films for children. That's fine. But don't complain when suddenly these children's films don't have the aesthetic of Citizen Kane because even though you want to watch animals acting like humans and being cute and insipid, they're still not adult enough for you.

I doubt most people have encyclopedic knowledge of what reviewer has what rating system, so it's still an odd choice.
They should add a 4/4 stars somewhere below.

I meant four-and-5 stars, not 4-out-of-five.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, user.

Well this poster is pretty good and it's still colorful and crowded enough to be appealing to children. What now?

>I'm not entirely sure what you mean, user.
That's good because the feeling's mutual

Yeah man they really have to go all out to sell this incredibly popular animated movie to the last children in the first world who aren't just watching a digital version and furries who need a physical copy they can roll on their bodies while they masturbate.

They could go lazier. This is a poster for sale in a lot of stores.

That's for proto-zootopia

Would've done pretty well tbqh

Something that at least shows the characters in poses that we haven't seen before.

You will be surprised what you will get paid for.

Is that shot a meme or smth?

I think it's more of a trope than a meme

What are tropes but applied memes?

They should take a page from 20th century fox; plain metallic background, single character close up, film's logo in all white.
It really pops.

That truly does look awful

That sort of works when you have a multi-film series because you get a character to represent each film.

Except they fucked it up with KFP2.

>a group of gazelles lie in a circle
>they can't get back up cause their horns are all locked

Packaging has nothing to do with art anyway

Ew, reminds me of A Bug's Life and how each cover was a single character close up variant. Pick your flavor of bland.

What will this man's next movie project be?

Poor Little Pred Boy starring Clawhauser

Something crap and then Moore will come along to save it

In this medium it kind of does. MOST of us won't be playing this movie for the rest of our lives and it'll spend most of the duration of our possession on our shelves. Or in our graves where it will be buried along side us in hopes that our souls get sucked into the movie forever.

Zootopia is a pretty standard kids movie, so it gets a standard cover.

Does anyone have that webm of Nick swishing his tail around? I need it for nefarious reasons.

>wank to normal porn for the first time in weeks
>feel immediately guilty afterwards since I just betrayed Judy
Can't let this happen again lads

This is the level of autism that we tried to avoid. Oh well...

pls stop user

Same, user. ;;

flash needs to be still in the midst of laying down

They know what sells and this is exactly what sells. You're an embarrassing human being and you should stop caring so much about children's cartoons.

Does anyone remember the name of youtube video where someone did a review about how bad the wreck it ralph dvd cover is?

All these covers are way too busy. It's the Nick and Judy show anyway, just have them and the skyline.

Am I the only one who felt the message was too forced in this movie?

not as forced as this image. I thought it was fine though.

Judy literally gives out a speech that states the message for all the kids too stupid to get it
it absolutely was forced

That's not a popular opinion; Judy's speech in the end had a nice mix of idealism and cynicism.

They did that for the Zombie Simpsons DVDs too.

Ive seen this sentiment before on this board. Do people really think that Byron is a bad director?

I think its a good mix of there's a reason stereotypes exist, but not to be prejudiced

I think one of my favourite messages in the film is in the first half hour when Nick and Judy first meet and Nick rips the shit into her about her hopes and dreams that no one cares about in real life
It cheered me up immensely

people think he's 100% responsible for proto-zootopia and, well, none of his other movies are that good

He's obviously not a bad director, he's just a Disney direct who needs guidance.

>Gideon doesn't appear in any of the marketing material.

I guess they wanted to keep the best fox a surprise.

Why there are so many errors on the fat cheeta ?
look at his belly and tail .

>first half hour when Nick and Judy first meet and Nick rips the shit into her about her hopes and dreams that no one cares about in real life

Nick was obviously wrong, though. Just because he let his dreams be crushed by a few assholes doesn't mean that having them is futile. Just look a Judy, she proved herself to be a capable police officer many times over before even meeting Nick, the difference being she didn't let her dreams get crushed by the personal biases of Bogo.

Why is he still wearing that apron? He doesn't need it to drive and make deliveries.

Replace Mr. Big with Clawhauser and Gazelle with Bellwhether and I'll agree with you.

You'd be surprised how often someone forgets they're wearing an apron. I have had accidentally stolen a few simply because I didn't realize they were still on.

Well that's the point of the stereotypes exist for a reason, some animals do - see the lemmings they still act like lemmings for the most part, but people aren't all copy paste(s) of their species like Judy (and later Nick himself)

It's part marketing. He looks cute in it and when people see the apron they think of their favorite gay baker fox who makes the delicious baked goods they all love.

Just look at how cute that happy little pie is.

>disney has enoough money to buy several small countries
>they dont just becuase
>you will never visit a real life Wonderland and sit on tuffits to view the daily beheadings and real life giant chess matches
>you will never visit a re-creation of Inside-Out's personality theme 'islands'
>You will never attend Monsters university and get that masters
>You will never get to race in the wreck-it-ralph candy raceway

why even live?

I have one of those for the Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie. It's just the cardboard slipcover that's like that with a normal cover underneath.

They're meant to stand out on store shelves and grab the attention of kids though I would think that would stop being effective when every movie starts doing it including fucking Anastasia apparently.

>Monsters U island
>It's actually a real university you can attend
That'd be great

>Kung Fu Panda 2
>Only character on the cover isn't Lord Shen

But he was the protagonist?

>movie is directed by 3 people
>Rick Moore is one of them
>he was part of Golden Era simpsons
We should give all the credit to him instead desu.

For Fuck sake furfag die already

Damn, I still have to watch KFP3
Why was Shen best protagonist

You can only do so many variations of just the family sitting on the couch before every set starts looking too similar to each other. Which would be a problem with a series that has 27 seasons and is still going.

The newer designs are actually better because each one stands out with a unique design and there are enough characters to have each set use a different one. The one with Ralph is the only one that looks cheaply made.

My favorite part was when he gave his dying speech at the end saying "who's the REAL genocidal maniac? Not I... Not... I..." There wasn't a dry eye in that theater.

It's almost traditional now for Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks/Fox/Universal/WB/Everybody who puts out a DVD/BD release for an animated film to just stick all of the major characters on the front in stock poses and call it a day.

It's not about making something worth looking at for more than ten seconds. It's about getting a kid's attention when they're dragged to the local Sam's Club and meander through the movie section. "Mom, look! It's that one movie! I forget the title, but it had a talking frog! If you don't get it for me, I'm going to cry, and then you'll be embarrassed to have kept me thinking that it would have gotten Dad to stay!" Or something like that.

Haven't you figured it out yet, user? Disney puts shit covers on initial BD releases and saves the good shit for collectors' edition re-releases a few years down the road, and then the really good shit for anniversary editions even more years down.

Don't forget to buy all three, though.

>mfw this movie rekindled my desire to be a cop
>mfw I have to wait 9 more months because im not old enough.

WHO FUCKING KNOWS!

Perhaps you are correct. Region?

That still manages to be a better cover because we weren't bombarded by those exact characters and poses through the whole duration of the film's marketing.

>>You will never attend Monsters university and get that masters

It's called college/university shut in motherfucker. Go to it instead of wasting your life.

Not bad, but needs supervision to be a disney director.

Outside of Disney he'd be good.

Bolt is alright. Tangled is the best princess movie we've had since Disney went full CG.

proto-zootopia would have been good. Moore was already working on that version so character and humor would have been there.

You will never have a case of 100% of the posters agreeing that something/someone is good.

>Tangled is the best CGI princess movie
isnt there only like 2?

>for all the kids

Okay, I'm going to ask something that's been on my mind for awhile now:

Why exactly is this movie so frequently brought up, discussed, and just overall immensely popular online?

I really genuinely enjoyed the movie a lot and thought it was great, my question is why is it talked about so much online, more than I would expect?

There was also the heartbreaking scene where Shen realizes that his kindness to the soothsayer resulted in his best friend Wolfy's death.

The flashbacks to their childhood growing up together really gave me the feels.

I...I dont really know

It just is

Because it's the best Disney movie in decades and genuinely a great film?

Then I will go ahead and say the last 15 years. Maybe even more than some of the older classics. Just didn't want to step on any toes and of course it's all personal preference.

It's taboo to have a discussion about a movie with talking animals in public, for some reason. There's alot more discussion online because people feel more comfortable talking about it there, I guess.

Because everything that isnt zootopia or a Marvel film is crap
But zootopia is indeed an instant-classic like Lion King

Is it, though? I don't see any more discussion of it than I do every single popular film, and I saw way more Frozen discussion on Sup Forums during the height of that film's popularity.

Also, let's get this out of the way: this movie appeals to furfags.

I think people are giving Furfags way too much credit - they probably love it sure but there's not $1billion of them, not even half that, its families and people who genuinely found it to be a really good film

>Also, let's get this out of the way: this movie appeals to furfags.

Sure, I doubt anyone's going to contest that. But furry fandom alone isn't going to account for the fact that Zootopia has been exploding across the internet, and how it's on the verge of toppling The Lion King's sales, to become the third-most grossing Disney animation after Frozen and Toy Story 3.

And I forgot to add, these numbers are despite a terribly lackluster marketing campaign. Who knows where it might've gotten if Disney gave it the A Film treatment?

>zootopia is indeed instant-classic like Lion King

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
