I don't think the cover art is that bad. True, it doesn't do Wall-E justice and it's a little too kiddish, but it's not bad.
But of course, if I had any say in the matter, I would have really liked to see it have the image of Wall-E standing on a pile of trash looking up at the stars. If you know which one I'm talking about. You probably do.

Yes, I love the blue starry night sky with WALL-E looking up at it. I would love to see that with the white and red WALL-E logo at the top, and nothing else on the box.

Yes . . . the starry sky one would be my choice too. But not dramatic enough for North Americans?
Also, I wonder if it's been compared to the "Short Circuit" poster too much and Disney just would rather not go there.
Too bad, whatever the reason. It's the most gorgeous promo poster I've seen for the film.

Sadly, it is probably simply that they thought it was too "simple" for the USA. I dunno about you, but I think the current version is too "busy" for anywhere.

Yes, I want to be kind here . . . but this version is kind of . . . how to I put this? . . . "juvenile"? Just doesn't have the respect for the film that I would have hoped. I mean, at least get the context of the shot correct. (Like someone said earlier, "what's M-O holding on to?)
But, I don't want to get all wrapped up (no pun intended) in the cover because it's what's inside that matters. Since we're getting tons of extras, I don't want to be a complainer.

Yep, they definitely went all out on the inside of the DVD. It is still sad that the outside implies some kiddie film, though.

Hear, hear. Just reinforcing the stereotype.

Yeah, it's not exactly a bad cover, but it's obvious that the Disney marketing folks were more concerned with clumping together most of the key characters and concepts(WALL-E, EVE, M-O, the Earth and the plant) without any regard for plausibility.

Why do I smell DISNEY on this cover design? Well, cannot blame them though... Wall-E sure will be put on a KID section with another disney princess and sing a long songs (a very dark thought, though).
Why don't they made two version of the cover? Just like Harry Potter books. One for the kids, another one is for adults!
