Walt Disney Classics: Difference between revisions

'''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.

*Tapes that have this logo are usually in clamshell packaging (originally in big, black, heavy clamshells with the artwork printed directly onto the case, but switching over to lightweight, white clamshells in 1986), with the cover featuring a black flap on the lower right corner reading "The Original Animated Classic!".

'''Visuals:''' The logo 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".

'''Audio:''' 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 the screen fades to black.  

'''Visuals:''' On a shady {{color|blue}} background, the words "WALT DiSNEY" are seen in yellow with a shadow effect. Below it is "CLASSICS" in a metallic orange serif font, also with the shadow effect. A light wipes over the logo from left to right.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video logo, except this time, the logo is placed over a blue background with swirly pixie dust. Instead of "HOME VIDEO", a golden banner with "CLASSICS" is seen. A thin orange light moves over various parts of the logo.

'''Availability:''' Same as the previous logo.

*This was seen twice on a 2000 WDC UK promo seen on the 2000 UK VHS release of ''Tarzan''.
