'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, the text "{{color|red|WALT DiSNEY HOME VIDEO}}" (with "{{color|red|WALT DiSNEY}}" in its famous “signature” font), in {{color|red}}, swirls in from the upper-left corner of the screen, rotating clockwise as it does so, passes by quite close to the screen, then flips and begins cycling to the lower-left corner. A few seconds after the "{{color|red|WALT DiSNEY HOME VIDEO}}" the white text, “THE CLASSICS”, in a neon-style Binner D font, also comes from the upper-left side of the screen and begins slowly spinning, too, nearly following the same path as the WDHV text does. As this happens, the background begins to slowly “morph” into a large, blurry diamond shape on a black background. A large Prussian blue diamond then zooms in from the center of the screen at a slightly fast pace, before stopping at a huge size. As the diamond zooms up, “THE CLASSICS” flips over to the top of the diamond and settles there, while "WALT DiSNEY HOME VIDEO" lands on the bottom of the diamond. A white, neon-style diamond outline zooms out and plasters itself onto the edges of the diamond, in which the logo resembles a neon sign.

'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts 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 {{Color|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. The screen zooms 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 the screen zooms 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 the word "CLASSICS", 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 the "WALT DiSNEY" text 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|darkviolet|purple}} tint (flamingo pink in the 1989 variant) to the diamond’s edges. The logo "shines".

'''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".

'''Trivia:''' When the logo is in high definition, magic can be visible shown inside the spark (just like the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo) if you pause the VCR.

*Starting with the <u>1992 VHS release of ''The Rescuers''</u>, 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.
