* In August 2002, the logo made a comeback on the DVD releases of ''The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina'' (paired up with the 1999 [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo) and the ''Schoolhouse Rock Special 30th Anniversary Edition'' DVD set; the VHS counterparts of both used the 6th logo in its place. Other DVDs released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment in 2002 would use the 5th logo: starting in 2003, they shifted to using only the 6th or 7th logo. | * In August 2002, the logo made a comeback on the DVD releases of ''The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina'' (paired up with the 1999 [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo) and the ''Schoolhouse Rock Special 30th Anniversary Edition'' DVD set; the VHS counterparts of both used the 6th logo in its place.

* In another odd case, this logo can also be found on DVD compilations of the ''Timon and Pumbaa'' TV series, such as ''On Holiday With Timon & Pumbaa'' and ''Around the World With Timon & Pumbaa'', at the end of the credits in place of the [[Walt Disney Television]] logo with the end of the closing theme playing over it. This is most likely because the DVDs are re-releases of compilations previously released on VHS, and as such recycle prints from those releases. | * In another odd case, this logo can also be found on DVD compilations of the ''Timon and Pumbaa'' TV series, such as ''On Holiday With Timon & Pumbaa'' and ''Around the World With Timon & Pumbaa'', at the end of the credits in place of the [[Walt Disney Television]] logo with the end of the closing theme playing over it.
