Buena Vista Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

[[File:Buena Vista Home Entertainment(2).png|center|350px]]

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see the following text in a {{Font color|blue|blue}} font:

'''FX/SFX:''' None.

** The logo made its last regular appearance on the 1998 VHS release of ''Mummies Alive!: The Legend Begins'', preceding the 1994 [[DIC Home Entertainment|DIC Toon-Time Video]] 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 30th Anniversary'' 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.

* Internationally, the logo is much more common, especially in the UK, where this logo remained in use well into the early-2000's.

** It appears on a few releases from [[DIC Entertainment]] outside North America, like Latin American and European French VHS releases of the company's ''Action Man'' series, and might have appeared on the Australian VHS release of ''Jingle Bell Rock'' as well.

'''Nickname:''' "Buena Vista Castle II"

'''Variants:'''

'''Logo:''' On a very shady {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} gradient background, we see a {{Font color|blue|blue}} 3D segmented Sleeping Beauty Castle at an angle shining, and emitting rays of light. The castle flies in and turns to face us. As this happens, the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|Buena Vista Home Video}}" in Times New Roman font appears in {{Font color|silver|silver}} aligned with the castle, and thus also flies in. An arch flies in and places itself over the castle and the text stops at the bottom of the screen. The words shine.

'''FX/SFX:''' The castle, the text and the arch flying in, the shining.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Although not as common as the tenth logo, it's still quite infrequent. It was used in tandem with that logo until 2007.

* Internationally, it can be seen on the 2003 DVD release of ''Pokémon 4Ever'' (unusually, instead of the [[Miramax Home Entertainment]] logo, and is retained on the 2011 reissues), and also oddly enough can be seen on the UK VHS release of ''Kim Possible: The Secret Files'' (while its US counterpart and the DVD version use the [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Entertainment]] logo instead).

=== 8th Logo (Australian Variant) (1999-2000s?) ===

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see the Disney castle in black, with "Buena Vista Home Video" below, separated in two lines. A copyright notice appears on the bottom.

'''Logo:''' In a blue/dark blue gradient background, we see transparent pieces of the castle flying into their positions from the bottom of the screen. While this happens, a flare circles around the castle, forming a curved line, then moves to the right side of the screen, then coming back at the left side of the screen, while the camera is zooming. The castle turns white, and the flare turns into the text "'''ブエナビスタホームエンターテインメント'''" (romanized: Buena bisuta hōmu entāteinmento) ("Buena Vista Home Entertainment" in Japanese), which moves slightly towards the castle before stopping. The background turns white, with the castle and text turning blue and black respectively.

* A widescreen version exists.

* A shinier, more 3D variant appears on some Blu-ray releases.

'''FX/SFX:''' The text flying in and shining. Nice CGI as before.
