<u>Availability:</u> Rare, as it was only used for a short period of time. Seen on 1984-1987 VHS and LaserDisc prints of Disney animated features including the original video releases of ''Pinocchio'' and ''Robin Hood''. Usually it is in clamshell packaging (originally in big, black, heavy clamshells with the artwork printed directly onto the case, but switching over to the lightweight, white clamshells with removable inserts we are familiar with today in 1986), with the cover featuring a black flap on the lower right corner reading "The Original Animated Classic!", and often has the diamond print logo on the spine (without WDHV text) and on the videotape label (with WDHV text). The last video to officially use this logo was ''Lady and the Tramp''. This logo has also been spotted on some post-1987 prints, including a 1993 reprint of ''The Sword in the Stone'', and the mid-1988 demo tape of ''Cinderella''. On black clamshell tapes of ''Dumbo'', as well as very early prints of the black clamshell release of ''The Sword in the Stone'' and earlier prints of the mid-1986 slipcover release of ''Alice in Wonderland'', the 1981 Neon Mickey logo shows up (the latter had the 1984 Classics logo replace the Neon Mickey logo on prints from circa late April 1986). Although the logo is seen on the cover, Australian releases do not use this logo; they use the 1986 "Sorcerer Mickey" logo or the 6th logo. | <u>Availability:</u> Rare, as it was only used for a short period of time.
