"Walt Disney Classics" was a brand name of [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]], created in 1984 to release features from the Disney Animated Features canon on video. 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, following the box office success of ''The Little Mermaid'', the Classics line released it to video, and began releasing a mix of older animated films and more recent Disney animated films. In 1994, after the video release of ''The Fox and the Hound'', the Classics series was discontinued and replaced with a newer series, the [[Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection]]. Tapes released in the Classics series are often referred to as the "Black Diamond Classics" by VHS collectors, in reference to the black diamond logo on the spine of each release. | "Walt Disney Classics" was a brand name of [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]], created in 1984 to release features from the Disney Animated Features canon on video.
