They did do a very good job matching up the eyes on the
morphing Pinocchios. Are you ready to plan several more
Saturddday trips to the mall? National Graphics did the work
for the Pinocchio video & is doing "Independence Day" (on
video Nov. 22). "The Frighteners" (Dec. 17) video cover will
have the same moving image skull lenticular used on the 
poster. There will be some sort of 3D packaging for the video
"Dragon Flyz: The Legend Begins (Dec. 3). "Mirror Mirror 2-
Raven Dance" came out a couple of years ago with a lenticular
cover. "The Phantom" will punch out evil with his 'rental-priced'
lenticular video cover (Nov 19)...you might want to wait a couple 
of months until they reprice this to buy a copy. If we talked about
holograms, I'd mention "E.T."s recent letterbox video release. 

Now if they could only figure out a way to make the videos 3D.
