Also, the light from the starburst is not reflected on Mickey. The logo made sporadic reappearances after the revised logo was introduced on tapes from the Classics line that didn't open with previews; these include the 1992 Laserdisc and demo/French Canadian VHS prints of ''The Rescuers'' (''Les aventures de Bernand et Bianca''), the later Canadian print of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', a 1992 Descriptive Video Service (DVS) VHS of ''Dumbo'', the later Canadian/USA print of ''Robin Hood'' (''Robin does Bois''), the French Canadian VHS releases of ''Pinocchio'', ''Bambi'', ''101 Dalmatians'' (''Les 101 Dalmatiens'') and ''The Great Mouse Detective'' (''Basil, détective privé''), and the demo/French Canadian VHS copies of ''Beauty and the Beast'' (''La Belle et la Bête''). It also appears at the beginning of the VHS ''Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece'' (which was included as part of a "Deluxe Collectors' Edition" box set of the movie). In most cases, the logo is off-center, with the diamond positioned further to the right, while ''Cinderella'' had the diamond centered properly. One of the last (if not ''the'' last) videos to feature this version of the logo was the DVS VHS release of ''Aladdin''. | ||
*On the 1989 variant, the spark is now gray and white and the diamond has a flamingo pink tint on its edges, while the 1988 and 1992 variants show it with a purple tint. Also, the light from the starburst is now reflected on Mickey, just like the 1986 WDHV logo. | *On the 1989 variant, the spark is now gray and white and the diamond has a flamingo pink tint on its edges, while the 1988 and 1992 variants show it with a purple tint.

*On the <u>1991 VHS releases of ''Robin Hood'' and ''The Brave Little Toaster''</u>, the Mickey scene is cut, and the logo starts off with the spark writing the words. On <u>both tapes</u>, this version is shown before a preview for ''The Jungle Book'', and is accompanied by Brian Cummings saying, "Look for these animated Disney classics on videocassette." On the <u>''Robin Hood'' VHS</u>, the same variant appears again before the film begins, but without the voiceover. | *On the <u>1991 VHS releases of ''Robin Hood'' and ''The Brave Little Toaster''</u>, the Mickey scene is cut, and the logo starts off with the spark writing the words.
