It's been my experience that a lot of cover arts look slightly off. *Shrug*

Probably because it's CG art. The same thing happens whenever somebody tries to convert Monsters, Inc. into line-drawings -- it loses a lot. In my opinion, media so different shouldn't mix unless they can actually capture the line style. (I remember what happened when they tried to make Guybrush Threepwood 3-D... he lost half his nose! *Shudder*)

I do agree with you, Spike. I never really was a fan of any of them. I think I prefer the old ones even if they weren't exactly perfect either. I'm not a big fan of what they did to Al and Jas on our cover. They look odd.

Nonetheless, they took a computer to it. Bad artists!

You have a point there. The Aladdin one looked kinda funny,but there were a couple that looked okay--TLK,BatB. They weren't too bad. I don't remeber what the TLM cover is supposed to look like.It's been a while since I saw it on Amazon. Can anyone put up a link to it?
