The 1970 psychedelic re-release for Fantasia is more interesting IMHO (although obviously the original 1940 is a classic):

I always hated the "psychedelic" style. Mostly, because "psychedelic" artwork is my least favorite art style that has ever been conceived. But as far as Disney re-releases go (there are ten thousand of them) the 70s Sleeping Beauty re-release always sticks out as am excellent redesign for me. That, and the 1990s re-release of Pinocchio with John Alvin's artwork.

I may be alone but I,ve always preferred the 73 release of Butch Cassidy to the original.

Whilst I do not disagree that right now those re-releases are better than their original counterparts but isn't this basically a question of fashion?

Well on reflection the original Fantasia is the better one...I still say it's all about fashion of the time and not so much about being better or worse

DESTROY ALL MONSTERS first and rerelease.
Both are nice, but I like the rerelease better.

I am embarrassed to say that I never noticed until now that the re-release Destroy All Monsters is exactly the same layout as the original release.
oops.

I don't know squat about the Japanese language, but the titles are different?
Armin, can you interpret?

That's what makes the re-release truly better than the original... The Title isn't among the picture getting in the way.

The first release was called KAIJU SOSHINGEKI (怪獣総進撃), which translates roughly as All Monsters Attack.
The rerelease was titled GOJIRA DENGEKI DAISAKUSEN (ゴジラ電撃大作戦) which means Godzilla Lightning Attack Strategy.
The Lightning Attack Strategy is a military term and it probably refers to the German "Blitzkrieg" strategy from WW2, so maybe Godzilla Blitzkrieg Attack would be a better translatation.

I haven't got the original for comparison, but the aussie re-release daybill of The Outlaw looks much nicer to me than the original.

Thanks for that info, Armin.
Both posters are great. What a melee...

This thread's been taking a very long nap but time to wake up....

1933s:

(http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u536/HereComesMongo1968/lf-5_zpsawhchkwt.jpeg)

1938rr:

(http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u536/HereComesMongo1968/lf-4_zps98rgslwm.jpeg)

*****

HA posits:

[T]his amazing image, one that many poster collectors know but very few have ever seen in the original 1938 format in which it was printed, is sure to thrill! This stunning reissue one sheet is more rare than the original release one sheets for this classic thriller. In the early 1970's Portal Publications, a printing operation out of Sausalito, California, was actively reproducing classic movie poster images on a smaller format for comic shops and mail order trade. No doubt unable to get their hands on an original Kong poster, they reproduced this beautiful reissue and included a 1933 date on it. For years many collectors thought this was what the original release King Kong poster looked like and that is why the image is familiar to many older collectors. Flash forward to today and this is the only copy of this very rare poster we have ever seen or are aware of! The fabulous artwork surely rivals the best of the 1933 Kong campaign and in our opinion is one of the very best posters produced for this great film.

Disagree.
I think the Cravath art on the Empire State Building '33 style is much better than the '38 poster.
But no doubt the 38 is very cool.
Title: Re: Re-Releases That Are Better than 1st Release Paper
Post by: erik1925 on November 10, 2017, 01:04:58 AM
The '38RR is basically a reworking (and flipping of the image) of the '33 poster art... so in that respect, I agree with Sean, since it was a reworked variation of an original theme.

My hat is also tipped to this '33 poster:

I had/have several RRs that are "in the same league" as the originals IMO although not superior (except Easy Rider):

Not superior to the orig but close:
