<u>Background:</u> Originally established in 1923 by Walter Elias '''"Walt" Disney''' as animation studio "Walt Disney Productions" (renamed "The Walt Disney Company" in 1986), Walt Disney Productions produced its first animated film, ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', in 1937, but never used a proper logo until 1985. Instead it used an in-credit text on most of its films. In 1983, the company was renamed as "Walt Disney Pictures" with the establishment of its own movie arm, and the Buena Vista text was modified to "Distributed by BUENA VISTA PICTURES DISTRIBUTION" and moved to the end credits.

The "50" logo zooms out followed by "HAPPY" zooming out above it and "YEARS" doing the same below. Tinker Bell appears, flies around and waves her wand, changing the screen to black. The 1954 Buena Vista logo would follow.

<u>Availability:</u> Again, on some Disney movies from the era. This logo was most often used on live-action films, often to denote more serious fare.

Also seen on trailers for ''White Fang'', ''Shipwrecked'', ''Newsies'', ''Hocus Pocus'', ''Cool Runnings'', ''Iron Will'', ''Angels in the Outfield'', ''Jungle 2 Jungle'', ''Rocketman'', and ''George of the Jungle'' (though the actual films use the next logo instead).

<u>Logo:</u> We fade into a view of a night sky, with a star somewhere on the screen and the clouds on the bottom. We then start flying down through the clouds with the camera. We then pan with the camera down to a very clear view of a river, with a train running down the railroad track. We then fly with the camera past a flag, and pan down as we see some fireworks going off, only to find the castle completely redone in CGI. The fireworks are almost finished when we almost reach a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the fireworks finish, a very small dot (you will have to look closely if you want to see it) appears way closer to the castle and then moves to the right side. The dot then draws a line over the castle as we are slightly panning, and it is almost finished when we are in a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the dot is finished drawing the line, "WALT DiSNEY", in its well-known script (although it is slightly different to the 1985 font), fades in in front of the main gate of the castle. When it does, "P I C T U R E S" fades in below the script.
