I agree on both fronts. On the dvd cover to the naked eye... looks kinda like a llama. Blown up with our superior technology... easily seen as a person. Still funny and I love the big llama face on the new dvd cover someone made! Hillarious!
Careful they spit!

That was 11th Hour who "gave us back the Llama"

Good job, too!

Unless you're talking about the thing behind the guy's head, but that could be anything. A kangaroo, or ostrich, or just a badly lit torso.

As b!X pointed out, we (or most of us, at least) are well aware that the llama is simply an illusion created by bad photoshopping.

That's not the point. The point is, the llama has as much relevance to the movie as the angry horde, Serenity's lasers, Mal's gun, River's glowing eyes, or any of the other grotesque distortions found on the original DVD art.

The 'llama' came to signify all of the indignities that we have suffered at the hands of corporate marketing.

Universal buddied up to the fandom to enlist our aid, but when Serenity's numbers didn't pan out, what did we get? We got llamas. (And, eventually, threatening letters.)

But you know what? We took that llama, and... well, we took it.

Ain't. We. Just.

You know, I've had plans to put the new cover art on a tshirt - now I think I want to put the llama version on the back!

Hell, we're probably setting that llama back up right now.

Right, that's the whole idea. When the DVD cover art was released there was just a massive outcry amongst the community. Surely we all remember that nearly everybody (myself included) had their own version of the cover, so bad was Uni's art. It was sort of the last slap in the face after their pre-release manipulation of the fandom, their near-total lack of serious marketing for the film, and their abandonment of the whole thing when the numbers didn't go their way. But like the man says, we took it. We are, after all, Browncoats.

SO...it is more of a Scape-llama?
