'''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 {{color|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". | '''Alternate Descriptive Video Transcription:''' Now in animation, a figure appears.

* A series of Japanese tapes released by Bandai Video on July 10, 1988 (under the then-new "Dreams and Magic" banner) use a still variant for a closing promo featuring the diamond reading "THE CLASSICS" on an animated starry sky with a thicker, more glass-like frame. This can be found on the 1988 Japanese VHS releases of ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day'', ''Pinocchio'', ''Mary Poppins'', and three cartoon compilations dedicated to Mickey ("Good Luck Mickey"), Donald, and various characters ("Disney Friends") respectively. An animated variant featuring the logo flying onto the screen and shining was featured at the beginning of the ''Pinocchio'' VHS. | * A series of Japanese tapes released by Bandai Video on July 10, 1988 (under the then-new "Dreams and Magic" banner) use a still variant for a closing promo featuring the diamond reading "THE CLASSICS" on an animated starry sky with a thicker, more glass-like frame.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic, gradually rising synthesizer fanfare. When the logo starts and Mickey Mouse shows up, there is a synth-bass drone with synth-violins warming up, a whimsical synthesized organ tune (accompanied by synthesized chimes) as the spark swirls above Mickey's hand and writes the text "WALT DiSNEY", a seven-note synth-trumpet fanfare with a "sizzling" noise as the comet flies around the diamond, a cymbal crash (in which can be faintly heard under the sizzling sound effect) as the text "WALT DiSNEY CLASSICS" turns to gold and the comet and pixie dust trail leave the logo and twinkles playing underneath the synthesizer music until we fade to black. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic, gradually rising synthesizer fanfare.
