Is P.T. Travers still alive? If she is, Disney must have had to pay Hell to get that short based on her chapters done.

Sweet. I'm glad to see such a great film get treated as it deserves. I'm undecided on the cover art though, it looks a little too "computerized" if you know what I mean, like something some guy put together on photo shop. I would have prefered something more classic. Oh well, it's the content that counts, and it sounds great.

you know it kinda does. Her arm looks a little skinny and quite far from her body. It's still a nice cover though.
