'''Logo:''' We start with the opening animation of the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo, with Mickey Mouse dressed in his Sorcerer’s Apprentice outfit from ''Fantasia'', standing on a {{color|blue}} spotlight on a black background. The camera slowly begins zooming up to his hand as the stars and crescent moon on his blue hat flash one-by-one, and then a white starburst flashes and a magic spark flies out from it, appearing above Mickey’s hand. We zoom past Mickey as the spark begins swirling around and begins to write "WALT DiSNEY" in the corporate Disney font, except it is metallic white. As we zoom out, the background begins to change to dark blue, and a black diamond with metallic edges fades in from a far point and begins to slowly zoom in, as “CLASSICS”, also in metallic white and in the Binner D font with two letters at both ends in a bigger size, begins zooming out from the bottom of the screen, before that and “WALT DiSNEY” settle on the diamond, which has zoomed up to a comfortable distance. The edges begin to glow white as the shadow of the "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" text drops on the diamond, and then a magic comet swishes into view from the bottom left of the screen, circles behind the diamond, then flies out from the top right and passes in front of the diamond before flying offscreen, leaving a trail of pixie dust that changes the "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" text to {{color|gold}}, and adds a purple tint (flamingo pink in the 1989 variant) to the diamond’s edges. The logo "shines". | '''Logo:''' We start with the opening animation of the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo, with Mickey Mouse dressed in his Sorcerer’s Apprentice outfit from ''Fantasia'', standing on a {{color|blue}} spotlight on a black background.

'''Alternate Descriptive Video Transcription:''' Now in animation, a figure appears. Mickey Mouse, wearing his red sorcerer's robe and tall blue pointed hat, stands with his left arm extended. A star shoots up from his palm, writing a signature and the logo "Walt Disney Classics". | |||

*On the 1992 VHS of ''101 Dalmatians'', the music fades out along with the logo; on the 1992 VHS of ''The Great Mouse Detective'', the music lasts a second after the logo fades to black. | *On the 1992 VHS of ''101 Dalmatians'', the music fades out along with the logo; on the 1992 VHS of ''The Great Mouse Detective'', the music lasts a second after the logo fades to black. | ||
*Starting with the 1992 VHS release of ''The Rescuers'', the music became distorted and heavier on bass due to deterioration of the master recording. Crackling sounds can be heard in the background at the beginning of the logo, rumbling sounds can be heard underneath as the spark writes the words "WALT DiSNEY", kettledrums can be heard in the background as the words "WALT DiSNEY" and "CLASSICS" settle on the diamond, and a synth-bass pad note can be heard underneath as the comet flies around the diamond. This variant would later be heard under the Walt Disney Company Intro on several VHS releases from 1999-2000. | *Starting with the 1992 VHS release of ''The Rescuers'', the music became distorted and heavier on bass due to deterioration of the master recording.
