This cover will never do.
The release of The Little Mermaid on DVD happened this past Tuesday and while I do want it on DVD, this cover is just not as much fun as the original.
The original VHS cover which I own and still watch.

I love this movie.
Last year, I sold off almost all of my kids Disney movies because well, they weren't little kids anymore, but I kept this one. It's my fave Disney movie of all time.
The phallic cover design is just a bonus.

Oh yes...the castle with the large golden phallus gleaming for all to see. I remember it well. Actually, I thought Disney was ordered to get rid of it back in 1990 or something.

I wish Disney would lover their prices a little, too. $20+ per movie adds up too quickly for my taste.

They were ordered to get rid of it back in 1990, but those of us who bought our movies the first day of release, were lucky enough to get the 7 phallus covers. There are 7 phallus towers on that golden castle...lol

Tell me about it. I guess I was lucky enough to have my kids during the VHS era when movies were only $12.99 or less.
I sold over 100 kids movies last year, most of them Disney, on ebay or private blogger sales to moms I knew had very small children. I almsot regret that decision now. I had every single Disney movie (animated ones) on VHS. All the classics before they were re-releases. *sigh*
