Walt Disney Classics: Difference between revisions

*The prototype version, originally seen on the 1988 retail VHS of ''Cinderella'', had the background as a dark to light blue gradient, a more shiny, silver, metallic diamond, and rougher animation; this variant was also filmed, compared to the standard logo being videotaped. The logo made sporadic reappearances after the revised logo was introduced on tapes from the Classics line that didn't open with previews; these include the 1992 Laserdisc and demo/French Canadian VHS prints of ''The Rescuers'', the later Canadian print of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', a 1992 Descriptive Video Service (DVS) VHS of ''Dumbo'', the later Canadian/USA print of ''Robin Hood'', the French Canadian VHS releases of ''Pinocchio, Bambi'', ''101 Dalmatians'' and ''The Great Mouse Detective'' and the demo/French Canadian VHS copies of ''Beauty and the Beast''. It also appears at the beginning of the VHS ''Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece'' (which was included as part of a "Deluxe Collectors' Edition" box set of the movie). In most cases, the logo is off-center, with the diamond positioned further to the right, while ''Cinderella'' had the diamond centered properly. One of the last, if not the last, videos to feature this version of the logo was the DVS VHS release of ''Aladdin''.

*On the 1991 VHS releases of ''Robin Hood'' and ''The Brave Little Toaster'', the Mickey scene is cut, and the logo starts off with the spark writing the words. On both tapes, this version is shown before a preview for ''The Jungle Book'', and is accompanied by Brian Cummings saying, "Look for these animated Disney classics on videocassette." On the ''Robin Hood'' VHS, the same variant appears again before the film begins, but without the voiceover.

* On a trailer for ''The Great Mouse Detective'' seen on the 1992 VHS releases of ''So Dear to My Heart'' and ''The Rescuers'', a shortened version of the 1992 variant that starts as the pixie dust leaves is seen before the start of the trailer, with Mark Elliot announcing "From Walt Disney Home Video!" over it. The opening credits music from ''The Great Mouse Detective'' plays over this version of the logo, as well as the trailer. UK releases with this trailer replaced the Classics logo with the tail end of the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo.

*The tail end of the 1989 variant (with the logo "shining") makes a surprise appearance at the beginning of a video promo for ''Bambi'', seen on several international Disney VHS releases (with the exception of the UK and Brazil).
