My favourite album cover

Above is Michael Jackson's Dangerous album from 1991. I like this cover as it holds so much symbolism and hidden messages on the cover, each related to Jackson. From researching forums (formspring and michaeljackson.com) about the album cover, many people have posted their thoughts and theories behind the symbolism in this cover.
From analysing the album cover, the symbolism I have picked up on includes:

  • The chimpanzee at the top of the crown is Bubbles, Michael Jackson's beloved pet
  • The various animals under Jackson's eyes represent his love for animals
  • The single white glove is Jackson's trade mark, which the King and Queen (dog and bird) are also wearing on their right hand as did Jackson
  • The roller coaster like track holding carriages (either end of cover at the bottom) has various people and things in it for example, a skeleton, children, Bubbles and a young Michael Jackson
  • The entrance sign of the roller coaster is a pirate skull sign which is found now in Disneyland on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride
  • The exit sign is an eye in a diamond looks like the Illuminati eye but is not in a triangle like the real Illuminati eye
  • Michael Jackson in 1985 is engraved in the blue area surrounding the arch of the 'Dangerous' sign
  • The hand holding the young child holding a skull of a dinosaur, has the white tapes on the fingers; another of Jackson's trademarks
  • The bubble underneath the bird/Queen has Adam and Eve inside of it
  • There is a peace symbol on the left pillar of the bird/Queen's throne
  • Inside 'Dangerous' is a globe of the world which looks like it is in a factory. Perhaps it was his project for world peace?
  • The crown above Bubbles' head represents Jackson's new status at the time: 'King of Pop'
