Animat's version of the close up covers is so priceless and hilarious.
Blue Jay better then most close up covers.
No offence, but THAT ONE looks kinda stupid and gross. 😓 I am so sensitive...
"Take A Closer look at that Snout!"
funny enough, his take on that trend is actually the picture for his Reviews on IMDb
Well, it's supposed to be parody towards the stupid cover trend.
I'm not the only one annoyed by those extreme close up DVD covers! HALLELUJAH!!
LilKen WOAH!
Yep. It feels so unpleasant to see the big close-ups of the faces and it's just boring. As a movie collector I wouldn't buy a Blu-ray with these kind of covers.
Same here.
Star Pit I just find it both incredibly lazy and Annoying
Trust me, you DEFINITELY aren't the only one.
*take a closer look at that snout*
I said the exact same thing when I purchased and received the Polish Region 2 DVD.
Nah, I'm good! 😂
I see #4's all the time at Wal Mart, they piss me off so much with their laziness.
At least its just the covers that got simplified, as the discs inside are straight up reprints of their initial DVD/Blu Ray releases with the same previews, same menu, same bonus content, same everything. So while the covers are different, at least the content inside is the same. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.".
@@supermariof0521 their recent releases of el dorado, prince of egypt, and chicken run, all movies i've been waiting years to come out on blu ray, I guessed the releases were lazy, and I was spot on. At least the movies look outstanding.
@@stheteller7470 Wait "The Road to El Dorado" is out on Blu Ray?
@@supermariof0521 Like almost a week ago, it came out on blu ray with chicken run.
@@stheteller7470 Why haven't I heard about that?
#4 I highly agree! It's bad enough that DreamWorks and Blue Sky did it, but when Pixar decides to do the same thing as well. It got way out of hand. What's next? The Disney main animated films, too? God I hope not.
You a furry?
Toxic Dilophosaurus Rex Yes, I am.
Okay, I was just wondering were you got the picture from
Toxic Dilophosaurus Rex A friend made it for me.

I've always wondered why the theatrical poster can't just be the cover art for video-now-DVD releases.
Case in point: most Don Bluth films have horrific DVD covers, yet the theatrical posters looked awesome.
I don't like those either.
Agreed. I'm sure it has to do with licensing tho...
I kind of agree. In fact I was disapointed with the cover for spider-man far from homes Blu-ray because of how forgettable it is. While the first poster they released (the one where spidey has stickers on his face) feels way too ingrained in my mind. Hell I even feel like printing the poster and taping it on the blu-ray itself.
Rock A Doodle uses what looks like concept art! It's literally terrible drawings of Chanticleer, Goldie, and Edmond! It's SOOOOOOOOOO bad.
American Tail and Land Before Time had covers that look like the posters of the movies
@ #4
THANK YOU! I HATE THOSE FUCKING COVERS!
Rixi the Goat it's worse when their discs are literally grey!
I see them all the time when I go into Target.
How am I suppose to get excited about seeing the movie when all you show is a close up of one of the character's faces?!
RUDDI Animations and have that color ring on the inside of the discs that says side A,B
they make me feel uncomfortable as shit
I miss when DVD discs have images showing the characters or a scenery. Why did they stop that?
I mean, the worst part of the Space Jam cover is that Daffy isn't even on there!
#JusticeForDaffy
"space jame"
@@bruninghouse4137 fixed
You sure it isn't because Buzz Lightyear isn't on there?
All I saw is that Lola smelled Jordan's BO and looks grossed out, the blue guy has that face of a prisoner saying "Hey buddy, you dropped your soap. Pick it up.", Tweety is taking a Super Saiyan dump and Elmer Fudd is doing his Gene Simmons impression. And I bet that "secret stuff" is similar to Butter's Creamy Goo.
Yeah, the trendy "Movie with character from film with bad closeup shot and a title on the top" covers are getting super strange.
Also, the Spider-Man Blu-Ray covers from the UK looks super amusing.
The solid color backgrounds and close up characters bug the hell out of me, too! >:(
You really hit the nail on the head with the FoodFight poster. Even if Larry's passion project was the masterpiece he wanted it to be, and not the disaster piece it was, and even if the licensed characters used in a way that made them actually characters and not gimmicks, it still be seen as stupid. Posters are supposed to show the story and characters, not the gimmick!
I actually liked that film and i'd say there's worse animated films out there like The Christmas Tree and Rapsittie Street Kids
Apparently, the dvd cover in the UK is different, as it actually shows the main characters of the movie…I’m guessing because not many people know what Starkist Tuna is
7:21 I love how Toothless is thinking" I'm getting some of that Light Fury booty tonight". While Sid is just standing there like someone's pointing a gun at his head.
Why not having Rodney (Robots) and Alex (Madagascar) instead
Oh my Lord. I hate that trend.
I actually mocked it a while ago on twitter.
Also, because of that trend, some stores like walmart accidentally confuses the adult films for the kids films. Like I was going through the kids section, and they had lined up next to the Spongebob movie and American Tale...The Jerk.
(edit) Update: Now Marvel Studios is doing it. Granted, they use the body from the waist up, at least.
It will make people run out of the store.

Wal-Mart doesn't really arrange by type... I work at 1 & the plan isn't based just upon type. It's actually arranged by price,then how recent,most-of-the-time(their plans change about every half-year)...
Pffffff
3:20 Animat STILL has the DVD for Where The Dead Go To Die?! Oh, honey...
Yes, I noticed it too.
Oh, sugar honey iced tea!
I think he actually got that DVD in an episode of "What's in the Box?".
I absolutely agree with you on #4. I don't know who's genius idea was it to create these uncomfortable close-up face covers. If feels so lazy man.
Yeah!
Amen to the #4 choice! Who even thought that was a good idea in the first place?
Your rant on the #1 pick was also great!
And now the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Transformers movies are falling for the #4 trend.
The " tutorial on how to make a stupid DVD cover " made me laugh manically. I'm sorry, but your derpy jump-scare was the highlight of this video X3
7:21 is...is Toothless trying to do the Dreamworks Face?
I love How To Train Your Dragon
What DreamWorks face?

You should review the DVD menus from the early 2000s. Just my suggestion.
That should also include the Vanilla DVD’s of Last Action Hero and the Nickelodeon dubs of the Winx Club films of SOTLK and Magical Adventure, as they only have the play option for the menu and nothing else.
@@robinsordahl8947what the hey does Sotlk mean?🤨❓❔
@@carysschmidt6983 Secret of the Lost Kingdom
9:30 Oh God, I noticed they're starting to do that with the Harry Potter movies. For example, they'll have *"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets... 2"* or *"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1...7"* Must be really confusing to those who are new to the franchise.
Well I kinda love the new covers they also have done the same thing with the warriors covers!
#4 Oh my god, I get so angry every time I see those covers in the Movie Night section at Target. I complain to my family for like 20 minutes (and they clearly don't give a crap.)
The close up covers are the worst, I refuse to buy any of them.
Yeah! Neither do I.
the only one of those I have is the prince of egypt. I made an exception since that movie is the best
The Last Action Hero cover is just what they use to release cheap versions. They have one with the original poster art. The VHS was simple though, but I love it.
Criterion collection's box art is STUNNING
When I was younger, in my country, the pirated DVDs had covers that had a lot of characters and scenes. While they do look cluttered, they certainly looked better than these DVDs and Blu ray covers.
Anyone else willing to see a "Top ten best DVD/Blu-ray covers"?
TRON LEGACY had a nice lenticular cover,in particular...
Also,"Mirrors 2" had a 3-D cover which was cool...
Oh,& a little-known horror 1 called "Midnight Movie" had a lenticular that changed COMPLETELY to a diff. image...
Valerian & Promethius BD cover's both were cool,as well(Blu-ray /usually/ gets the cooler cover of the 2 formats,I've noticed)...
And,for Metal-Case covers,GI Joe had 1 I thought was pretty-cool...
The ONLY minimal I think done right,was "Unbreakable". It had a special "window" in the center showing broken-glass that took-up the inside "sleeve"(it was a special cardboard case). Quite interesting approach & "artsy"...
Overall,Horror & Sci-Fi get the best covers,it seems(I collect DVD's,so I could go on)...
I just wanna sday that I really hate Dreamworks' new front covers of their films lately. They use to have effort put into their dvd covers but now it's just have one character in front just smiling.
100% agree with you with the close-up covers I want a bit more action as my DVD cover
6:54-8:32 I bought a DVD copy of DreamWorks' "The Prince of Egypt" at a Best Buy that had that same stupid design choice! Just a plain red background with a closeup of Moses on the left and his wife a little far back to the right. For such a wonderful epic motion picture, how could they be so LAZY!? That's like making a Blu-ray cover for "The Lion King" and just putting Simba's face on an orange background!
Believe it or not, there is a DVD cover of The Lion King as part of the Signature Collection and it’s just as lazy with just photoshopped pictures of Simba and Scar at the top, along with photoshopped pictures of Rafiki, Timon and Pumbaa at the bottom and the title in the center and a still image of Rafiki lifting Simba in the background. Look it up and marvel at the badness of the cover.
Animat the movie coming to a TH-cam theater near you
You know, he should have added
The Banana Splits Movie dvd and blu ray cover.
Reasons:
A. Bingo is on the front of the cover holding an axe, which he barley has a role in the horror movie unlike the other gang. Plus he doesn't even use an axe in the film.
B. Drooper has sharp teeth, which are never seen in the film.
C. Fleegle has one normal eye and the other one is an red animotronic eye, which in the film he lost both regular eyes and just has the red animotronic eye. Also he's technically the main villain of the film, so he should've had been on the front cover instead of Bingo.
D. The only thing I can relate to is Snorky and the Title.
Don't believe me? You should see the cover yourself, and you'll get what I mean.
The video animat made was in 2017, 2 years before the banana splits movie
7:07-7:12 That face just makes the 2nd step all the more funnier.
I can't wait to see your Emoji Movie rant review!
FardintheCartoonLover yeah I can't wait to see animat tear the emoji movie apart.
me too as space jams original poster looks more artist than this one.
alexis martinez YASSS
alexis martinez I'm calling it he's going to give a 0/10.
more like a 3 of 10.
Hyped for your Rant on the disgrace of a movie, THE TRASH.. I mean THE EMOJI MOVIE
2:27 Weird Al's in the background! More specifically, one of his parody songs, "I'll Sue Ya".
When you mentioned the once you see through the illusion you can't unsee it, it reminded me of when I was told in a video about the crowd animation in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now I can never unsee the CGI.
I love your number 4 pick. I agree, I had no idea why that trend started. It zaps a movie of so much identity when they look more like trading cards!
Can't wait until you do the best DVD and Blu-ray covers.
"..what is widely regarded as the worst animated film of all time..."
That title was taken away by The Emoji Movie.
Nah food fight was worse
Fangcat I agree I’d take the emoji movie over foodfight any day
Animat: *laughs in where the dead go to die.*
Nope FoodFight! was the worst.
Soon😈
Wow, this was a great list. I love this idea. Not a lot people talk about covers of movies. What a nice surprise, Mat. Two thumbs up. :)
I actually did know that that cover was for Last Action Hero, but that's only because I recognized the outfit. Watched that movie all the time as a kid.
Spyder Soup Gosh, I own the cover(the movie mysteriously disappeared the fuck if I know how) so I should have remembered...
Weirdly, I recognised number-3 immediately because Last Action Hero's the only time Ahnold's worn a brown jacket through basically the whole movie.
So pretty much every Blu-Ray re-release Dreamworks has been putting out. Edit: Oh, it made number four. Didn’t even realize it wasn’t just Dreamworks, this just goes to show how much of an impact it has.
Next week,you have to suffer the apocalypse of 7/28/17
Aaron Lomeli he suffered it today
I don't get it... Can someone explain???
@@SB-Out51d3R- emoji movie. This comment is as old as a fossil
Another video about worst covers would be awesome. Maybe even some on the best, there are so many awesome ones.
I hope the Emoji Movie review features the same music he used here as background.
Everytime I go to Target or Best Buy, The Extreme Close Up Blu Rays And DVD covers are everywhere on store shelfs, it just extremely annoying see those receptive slip covers.
The #4 Covers would be perfect for the DVD/Blu Ray Releases of the Boss Baby, The Emoji Movie and SAO Ordinal Scale :)
Ordinal Scale has a good cover
The Emoji Movie got 3% of Rotten Tomatoes btw did u see the trailer for The Star
I thought it was 0%
Sam Feldstein It used to be. 1 review that gave a 3/5 raised it by 3%.
JacksonStormFAN Team IGNTR 2.0
Going to a website... "Okay, Sony you have one last chance, you have screwed up with emoji movie. I am religious person but I wanted to see a good movie coming out. Now let's see what you brought up with The Star."
One Trailer Later...
... "You are toast, Sony."
Now it's 6%
Aw woof
I feel like we’ve given the original Planet Of The Apes DVD cover a pass, considering that it spoils the twist ending on the cover.
I see on the Groundhog Day cover that Murray's right eye is larger than his left eye. LOL!
6:54 Basically most modern TH-cam thumbnails
I actually did guess the Last Action Hero cover correctly, mostly because that's the only movie I can think of where Arnold wears a red shirt under a jacket prominently throughout the film.
Do the top 10 movie posters! A lot of recent movie posters are not even trying anymore.... I missed the creatively of the posters....
7:16 someone meme that face
That's my favorite flim.
This is SUCH a pet peeve of mine! I wish films would just use the theatrical posters as the covers for their DVDs. The poster design for How To Train Your Dragon is beautiful (the one with Hiccup reaching out his hand to touch Toothless), so why not use that instead? I remember seeing a Tumblr post about this, and people were saying that the DVD cover re-designs were probably used to try and make the films look more "appealing" even though it seems to just annoy people. -_-
I still come back to this to look for inspiration when doing art.
4:55 LOL I was just thinking that.
I always look at DVD collections in videos to see if people have some that I have that I love. You have some that I have.
lol, that countdown music makes me laugh. "Durr durr duh! Duh duh duh!!"
Juan Strong that's Arin Hanson
dolan pls
Dean Aviram ..... Well I hate to say this but I'm autistic and I found this song to be funny as shit! XD
@@deanaviram5009 how the hell is that offensive?
I don’t like it...
6:54
Now what should I call this trend? *10 seconds later* AHA! I'm calling this.. Drum roll please, for god's sake..
THE UNCOMFORTABLE CLOSE-UP TREND!! TRA-LA-LAA-DAMNIT CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!!
I guessed LAST ACTION HERO because
A. ARNOLD Schwarzenegger
B. he isn't a robot on the poster.
C. one of this is one of many films where he uses a gun and this movie I know because of THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC.
This is why I make custom covers for all my movies using the original poster artwork.
First thing, that Groundhog Day Bill Murray looks more like John Belushi
Second, I can kinda understand the Last Action Hero cover being generic like that; LAH made meta humor and commentary on movie tropes, especially action movie tropes, and how that contrasts with the edge of the real world, and so I get wanting to make the cover look like a generic action movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it. That said, considering it's not a popular Arnold movie (people are only now giving it some praise when it was so critically panned) I don't know if the people making the cover art cared enough to consider what I just said. It could've been laziness like you said.
I was not expecting Arin's Dance as the main song in this video...
I don't want to know about Michael Jordan's "Secret Stuff"
Randy Marsh: *drinks it* *stunned reaction* This is cum.
Stephen: You can just sit in your room and think about what you've done! Sarcasm like is homophobic, chauvinistic and completely lacking in maturity! Any questions?
I couldn't stop laughing at how you described Tweety at #1.
I think I should share this, but I happen to own a blu-ray of Garfield: The Movie with the close up cover. What’s special about this is that instead of a plain generic color for a background, the cover instead has a picture of the cul-de-sac. I thought I’d share this since it’s kinda a rare occurrence.
#4. The perfect example of lazy DVD cover's
Why are people so lazy, be creative with your cover's
#10. They made Bill Murray look like he's in his 20's or 30's
Look At My Comment Which Is How You Make A Close Up Poster ( Dreamworks And Blue Sky Style)
But Yeah While Those Are Great The Others (Except Maybe Cars) Suck
There's so much worse... You should periodically redo this top ten from time to time, because there's a lot more DVD\Blue Ray covers out there!
But since you show me a cover I wasn't aware of (the Apollo 13 cover) I still have the duty to congratulate you! Also, you got me at the Schwarzenegger cover, and I know I should have known better so I tip my hat to you!
Bill Murray on the groundhog day looks like Dan Aykroyd.
At 6:56 the trend also carried onto book covers to for example Warrior Cats the original cover art had the main character e.g. Firestar and a nice detailed background to show the atmosphere of the story like a forest or mountain but the alternative cover art is just a random colour background with a creepy close up of a cat with a freaky pose.
Can you do a list of the best Disney VHS releases?
I agree with 4 and that's why I want to Double-Dip.
Man, I wish this was made this year. That way, he could see the Jurassic Park Trilogy 25th Anniversary covers! Those definetly deserve to be on this list.
Too bad Animat made this list before The Emoji Movie had a DVD release, or it would have easily taken the #1 spot...
Olivia M. It's probably gonna be a close up of the Meh Emoji like the first poster.
Jimmy Reyes Animation True, true...😂
Jimmy Reyes Animation i wonder if the loud house movie DVD cover would look like?
Actually, no, the DVD cover for The Emoji Movie is fine.
@@SuperSolaris666 Yeah,they predicted wrong. xD
*Here we have a picture of Shrek.*
I died XD
Is it weird that I recognized the Last Action Hero cover immediately?
im glad im not the only one who doesn't like the close up covers either
06:55 I would see that design on google play.
In Europe, they release the Disney Classics in the color background closeup character trend.
I like the bumper music in between the countdown. It is goofy and would probably drive someone nuts on repeat. LOL!
I actually LOVE that trend from #4. In fact, they recently upgraded them to look more detailed.
Yeah
You know what's worse than the DVD covers with the faces on them? Now this is a recent problem I have with Netflix. For no explicable reason, some covers (cover banners?) for some movies merely use a screenshots for scenes from the movies.
Examples: Lilo and Stitch - Stitch building himself a sand Castle
Emperor's New Groove - a snapshot of Yzma making that forced smile
Hotel Transylvania 2 - Mavis and Jonathan in the mini mart
Though it seems to only apply when for the mobile apps and the PC app.
Omg Space Jam cover it's a nightmare
Talk about reading a book by its cover... or should i say... watching a movie by its cover
*badumtss*
The Apollo 13 cover looks like something from Archer
You're pretty funny matt. Never stop posting.
Holy shit, that's a lotta DVD's! (Especially in the beginning of the video where you show your DVD collection) I'm jealous now! XD
6:54 GOOD, I'm not the ONLY one.
DURR DURR DUH DUH Love the countdown music
Dr Aidan Quinn that's Arin's version of that song.
Oh.
The countdown music offends me because I have autism!
Dean Aviram Me too. I'm not offended
Words like durr, hurr, duh, herp, derp, etc. have been used to mock people with disabilities so that's why I was offended.
#4 is especially irksome considering they had perfectly good and beautiful covers to begin with.
My country should be ashamed of those awful Spider-Man front covers.
8:13 Bit of a Canadian "soory" slip there, Mat.
I Think He Talked About FoofFight Before (That Includes JohnTron And The Nostalgia Critic Too).
This was a really fun review
By the way I can't wait for the Emoji Movie review
*TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT SNOUT*
