"Walt Disney Classics" (nicknamed by Disney video collectors as the “Black Diamond Classics”) was created in 1984 to release the features from the Disney Animated Features canon. The first release from the line was ''Robin Hood'', and more soon followed, including ''Pinocchio'', ''Dumbo'', ''The Sword in the Stone'', ''Alice in Wonderland'' and others, to great success. In 1990, due to the wild success of ''The Little Mermaid'', the Classics line released that film to video and began releasing the more contemporary animated releases of the time from Disney. In 1994, after the video release of ''The Fox and the Hound'', the Classics series was discontinued and replaced with a newer series, labeled as the [[Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection]]. | "Walt Disney Classics" (nicknamed by Disney video collectors as the “Black Diamond Classics”) was a brand name of [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]], created in 1984 to release the features from the Disney Animated Features canon.
