Does Bambi still ship with slipcovers?
Did a search on this topic..could only find notes on velcro vs sticky glue..anyways..
I was visiting Target & CC and saw all Bambi DVD's without slipcovers...I just wanted to know if this is happening everywhere. Thanks!

Only the first pressings of Disney movies will have the slipcover.
You should still find some copies with slipcovers at stores.
Also, The Incredibles has a $3 coupon for Bambi.

A lot of stores have been pulling them off due to the fact that some people are taking the slipcovers and putting them over more expensive movies. Nothing like getting a $40 Criterion for the price of a $15.99 Bambi DVD.

That would explain why Fat Albert has (will have) the UPC area cut out on the slipcover!
What is the point of slipcovers anyway? I can understand on movies that have seperate images on the slipcover and regular cover . . . I suppose I can even understand the fold out slipcovers . . . and the "cel" types are cool . . . but why the normal ones? Why damnit why?
I guess I'm just not evil enough to think of those things (putting a different movie inside) either.

When I received my enrollment package from the Disney Movie Club a month ago, both The Lion King & Aladdin had the slipcovers. I don't know if this is how they ship all movies or not. Someone mentioned on the DMC thread that you can get Bambi as an enrollment now. So if you're worried about slipcovers you might go that route.
