[HOE68YEN]

Hi I remember watching a Disney movie about a girl who could summon a lot of dogs by whistling. Do you know the title? Can you help me out?

[8to16to35]

@HOE68YEN The Disney movie you are thinking of is "The Horse Without a Head." It is available on DVD from The Disney Movie Club, and on Amazon.com.

[Fyuzseion]

[hoobles199]

ARISTOCATS!

[ajshim]

I think I just logged on the internet and just went back to my childhood.

[RandomGenericComment]

all of those... ALL of those. and u miss fox and the hound??? my all time favorite movie!!!! shame on you- SHAAAAAAME!

[8to16to35]

@RandomGenericComment I am afraid there was no music on the Buena Vista for "The Fox and the Hound." I call those "silent" buena vistas. This video does not include any "silent" Buena Vistas.

[RandomGenericComment]

@8to16to35 ... no more shame! :D

[MegaJamesj]

@RandomGenericComment you got all wrong 8to 16to35 add a other buena vista on his video thats where the fox and the hound should be there

[Rangersarrowpictures]

How long did it take you to assemble this?

[nddlj]

Most distinctive to me was The Jubgle Book

[kino997]

No Mickey's Christmas Carol?

[disneyfan85]

It's called "Those Calloways", not "Those Callaways".

[8to16to35]

@disneyfan85 Thank you for pointing that out.

[mariobrasil9]

this thingy of "herbie" was that movie of the Beatle Car Herbie? He had a Cartoon?!

[SimpleJars]

I have never seen all of those old movies before! Not even the Zorro movie or the Monkey's Uncle! Speaking of Zorro, I thought It was a Columbia/Tirstar Picture.

[SimpleJars]

Dang! I have never seen all of those old movies before! Not even the Zorro movie or the Monkey's Uncle! Speaking of Zorro, I thought It was a Columbia/Tirstar Picture.

[homeofthebadguys]

7:24 Me thinks the jingle was copied from somewhere....

[1happycats]

@homeofthebadguys You mean "I think".

[theliberator1]

most epic ones were lady and the tramp, sword in the stone and sleeping beauty.

[lionboy923]

Wasn't there a Buena Vista logo or an RKO logo for Disney's Snow White? Because I checked every Snow White part one video but neither of them had one of those logos.

[Rexeljet]

I only know the one at 5:19

[KapoodleNoodle]

In 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" & "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too"

[JacqulineX69]

Melody Time (1948)

[jpongsin2002]

1953

[livinlarge18]

Disney should've when he plastered the RKO Logo remove the RKO text and put the Buena Vista text

[Rlotpir1972]

3:55 - 3:59: Orchestration was used in some re-released Walt Disney/RKO cartoons.

[Beagle7788]

All the "Winnie the pooh" ones are so simple :)

[ragglefragglecalp]

The Rescuers always had that legendary BV opening, no music just a thunderstorm really set the somber mood

[davidpar2]

love the music @ :39 for "secrets of life." never saw that movie,,,when was it released..?

[RyuichixCMZ]

7:21-7:25. I have always wanted to see "Napoleon and Samantha". A few times, I have tried looking for it at Fye and Best Buy, and neither of those stores had it! Darn it!

[winerrs]

At 6:53, which aristocats film release did you get the Buena Vista logo from? What year?

[RyuichixCMZ]

The BV logo for the Aristocats shown at 6:53-6:57 is from the original release from 1970.

[Retroscope200X]

has anyone seen apart from 8to16to35 seen the psychedelic BV logo from Return from Witch Mountain, you know the one that looks like a packet of Fruity Stripe come to life?

[christopherSmac]

9:15 - 9:23 - First time I've seen those variants!

[AJVerch0414]

I have heard those few seconds of music from the beginning of Sleeping Beauty SOO many times. :-)

[megamanfan3]

Disney produced Race to Witch Mountain before? That means that this production of the same movie was more of movie that was redone with better technology.

[slartibartphast]

my dad watched these before i was born

[OsamaBeenFartin]

I remember watching alot of Buena Vista nature and science films back in school! Does anybody know if they are availible on DVD?

[ChachiTelevision1979]

LOL

The Hound that Thought He Was a Racoon

[meghan428]

i only know three opf them... and after this video... i'll never be able to see that logo again... its starting to creep me out

But still good collcetion

[disneyfan85]

At 5:33, the "Follow Me, Boys!" BV tune was present on that movie's DVD when I rented it through Netflix a few weeks ago.

[disneyfan85]

I rented "Follow Me, Boys" a few weeks ago from Netflix, and it has its BV card and tune intact (occurs at 5:33).

[AnotherIdiot]

3:03 sounds awfully like the 20th Century Fox fanfare...

[jonghyunchung]

First of all, the "Film Distribution" logo is from 1954, because all other Disney films from 1953 had the RKO logo; and the next BVD logo is from 1960 because all films from 1959 had the 1954 BV logo instead.

But at least everyone knows that the last BV logo is from 1966.

[zothera]

man there a lot of disney movies

[SuperKawaiiPandaGirl]

Geez, I never knew there were so many Buena Vista logos! ^^

[LEATHERFACE9792]

where did u get the 1 with mary poppins?

[Bazzaland]

Awesome video compilation - THANK YOU!

Anyone know what font the "Buena Vista" is.

TIA,

Bazza

[coreyfeldman2x08]

I miss the old school Buena Logos

I loved the Peter Pan, Lady and the tramp, sleeping beauty, jungle book, witch mountain, mary poppins logos best

3.29 I always wanted to see the 1962 verison of Prince and the pauper I wish someone would put it on

[Gaarahinafan2]

9:01-9:06. "The Rescuers" had the Buena Vista logo? Some people on YouTube have uploaded The Rescuers and at the beginning of the movie it pretty much just showed the normal Disney logo.

[livinlarge18]

the current release plasters the Buena Vista Logo

[Imaxination80]

The DVD of "The Rescuers" replaces the Buena Vista with the Walt Disney Pictures logo.

The original 1992 video release is what has the Buena Vista logo.

[Kibasevillilanbu]

9:25-9:28. What year was "The Small One" made in?

[8to16to35]

"The Small One" was released on December 16, 1978 along with a rerelease of "Pinocchio."

[Gaarahinafan2]

Oh, okay.

[Gaarahinafan2]

8:23-8:27. I really want to see "Escape To Witch Mountain" sometime. It sounds like a very interesting movie. Wasn't it made in 1975?

[PDS1990]

Not even Race To Witch Mountain?

[disneyfan85]

Yes, it was. And "Return From..." was made in 1978.

[looneywoman]

9:15 -- Funny, I remember seeing "The Cat from Outer Space" via Home Video as a child, and I don't remember that big colorful "BV Release" (as opposed to the more "traditional" "Distributed by Buena Vista"-bit with the blue gradation background) at the beginning! Perhaps it was there all along; I was only nine or so at the time...

[Gaarahinafan2]

Cool! Why don't they still show the Buena Vista logo in the new Disney films of today?

[Marbles471]

@Gaarahinafan2

"Cool! Why don't they still show the Buena Vista logo in the new Disney films of today?"

Buena Vista was formed to distribute Disney stuff after Disney broke ties with RKO in 1953. Until Eisner took over in the mid-80s, Disney was still a small independent, and wasn't considered one of the majors. Since it's become a giant, "Walt Disney Pictures" now has the high profile and resoures to handle their own distribution, although technically it's still done by Buena Vista.

[carlitosbug]

Was this video posted on the day Bolt (rated PG) opened in theaters?

[vip2oo4]

100%100

nice video

[pengy94]

9:14 ???

[looneywoman]

Maybe they were trying to get away from the more "traditional" BV/Disney-openings? The studio had been struggling a bit since Walt's death, after all...

[MatthewtheY]

The tympani drums fanfare opening is my favorite.

They also used it in the BV opening titles to the re-issue prints of "The Army Mascot", "Goofy Gymnastics", "Home Made Home", "Tomorrow We Diet", "Truant Officer Donald", "Mickey Down Under", "Dog Watch", "Canine Patrol", and "Wet Paint". Any others?

[disneyfan85]

Yes, you forgot "First Aiders", a Pluto short from 1944.

[Marbles471]

@MatthewtheY

One thing I've never understood is where those (and other) reissue prints were being shown. Were they playing in theaters during the '60s and '70s with these feature films? I can't think of any other purpose those reissue prints would have been made for, because as far as I'm aware the shorts had almost no television life (outside of cut-and-paste versions on Wonderful World of Disney) until pretty much the 1980s.

[Yutzwagon404]

i LOVE the kettledrums!

[disneyfan85]

On the Old Yeller DVD, the BV title for it is missing, but its music plays over the Walt Disney Pictures logo sequence.

[disneyfan85]

You forgot the BV title for "Lady and the Tramp".

[granttheswimfreak]

no its the third one played

[disneyfan85]

Yeah, I saw it. Never mind.

[hersheyandshadow]

You forgot the Buena Vista logo from Pinocchio and from Cinderella.

[8to16to35]

Those are on my other video DISNEY RKO AND BUENA VISTA MOVIE INTROS.

[videos4everybody]

Wait a minute. If "The Junglke Book" has that Buena Vista logo, how come that I see a later version of it on the 2007 Platinum Edition DVD?

[systemoperator]

Because it was derived off from the film's 1978 re-issue.

[doughnutser256]

I love the 101 Dalmatains logo, I actually have that logo on my copy of the Platinum Edition of 101 Dalmatains.

[Tomblappy]

So As my Jungle Book DVD Not as the 101 Dalmatians DVD

[doughnutser256]

T.O. I am not talking about the Jungle Book's BV logo, I am talking about the original 101 Dalmatains BV logo being on the 101 Dalmatains Platinum Edition DVD.

[8to16to35]

Yes I will. I will present them all in a manner that they can be compared to each other.

[Retroscope200X]

Kinda strange how the psychedelic BV logo was used only in The Cat from Outer Space and Hot Lead and Cold Feet, both from 1978. BV should have used that logo from then on.

[8to16to35]

Disney is inconsistent. The video for "Lead" has a differnt BV logo & no music. I have video of a 16mm print of "Return" with the psychedelic BV. I also have an intro celebrating Mickey`s 50th birthday. My guess is that all 4 movies from 1978 would have been the same & the psychedelic logo used with the intro. So the psychedelic BV must have been for the 50th anniversary year only.

[Retroscope200X]

If you're planning to do an updated version of this video, I have a few requests: the psychedelic BV logos from the 16 mm print of Return from Witch Mountain and Mickey's 50th Birthday, and the BVs from The Black Hole (1979), Condorman (1981) and Tron (1982). If you can include them that would be much appreciated.

[8to16to35]

I included "The Black Hole," "Condorman" and "Tron" in DISNEY RKO AND BUENA VISTA MOVIE INTROS. Was there something else you wanted? I do plan to make a video with the BVs from 1978 and Mickey`s 50th birthday.

[Retroscope200X]

In that case, I dont want anything else. In your upcoming 1978 video, do you plan to show the two BV logos for Return from Witch Mountain, as well as the two for Hot Lead and Cold Feet? If you do it that way, it would be good for comparison.

[Jac2Mac]

Doesn't the Mickey's 50th birthday part of the Bunea Vista logo look a lot like the 1978 Neon Mickey logo?

[Retroscope200X]

It's puzzling why the psychedelic BV logo was only used in The Cat from Outer Space and Hot Lead and Cold Feet. Kinda thought they should have stuck with that from then on.

[8to16to35]

I think I know what you mean. The writing was in the center, not taking advantage of the wide screen. Most of the widescreen BVs, with the blue background, are the same.

[Kartoonkid95]

On "Swiss Family Robinson," the logo is so small. Yes, I know it's in CinemaScope.

[8to16to35]

It seems that the aspect ratio changes from film to film depending on the process in which it was filmed. If compared to "Lady and the Tramp" and "Sleeping Beauty" and others in widescreen, they might be as small or bigger.

[Kartoonkid95]

Yeah, but "Lady and the Tramp" and "Sleeping Beauty" had custom logos. "Swiss Family Robinson" had the reagular background and font. That's what I mean by 'so small.'

[doughnutser256]

Sleeping Beauty had a custom made Buena Vista logo on it along with The Sword in the Stone.

[8to16to35]

Do you have the BV for "Sword in the Stone" that is not the traditional blue background? It must have had the more modern BV for its rerelease in 1983. I`m sure the BV would have been the same as the one on "Winnie the Pooh and a Day For Eeyore."

[8to16to35]

Yes it did. I`m pretty sure they rerecorded it for "Nikki."

[Kartoonkid95]

I think they just got the music from "Nikki" and put the music over the Mickey Mouse head at the beginning. The fanfare ended with a cymbal crash. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Kartoonkid95]

Some BV logos are completely silent like...

"The Fox and the Hound" (1981)

"Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983)

and various classic cartoons rereleased in the 50's and 60's.

[8to16to35]

Yes. Those are still unique, but not as much as those with music - to me at least. My next video, Disney RKO and Buena Vista Movie Intros will have some, but not all, of the silent ones.

[8to16to35]

I think that Disney just reused the music for "Nikki;" though probably rerecorded it. The same music was used for other films released that time. All of the People and Places movies have the same fanfare, except the first: "The Alaskan Eskimo." That will be in my next collection - DISNEY RKO AND BUENA VISTA MOVIE INTROS that I hope to publish by tomorrow night. The complete list of the People and Places series can be found in The Disney Films by Leonard Maltin or The Disney Encyclopedia.

[8to16to35]

Actually, I forgot that "Switzerland" had a different BV fanfare; and there are some of the People and Places that seem to have disappeared, like "Cruise of the Eagle." I have most of the series on video and most of the BV fanfares are the same. It is interesting to note that the People and Places fanfare and title music was put on the beginning of "Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates" for its foreign release.

[Kartoonkid95]

The music from "Nikki, Wild Dog of the North" is also heard at the beginning of early 30's Mickey Mouse cartoons on "Mickey Mouse in Black and White Volume 1." Also, the music from "Blue Men of Morocco" was also heard on "People and Places: Disneyland, U.S.A."

[b3d]

I have the logos with the drums on some of the pluto cartoons. The one from babes in toyland used that music for a pluto cartoon as well

[8to16to35]

Yes, the drums (kettledrums or timpani) was used among the most often for cartoons; however I think the one used for "Son of Flubber" was used more. With what Pluto cartoon did you hear the one from "Babes in Toyland" with?

[byw613]

First Aiders.

[disneyfan85]

I heard the tympani drums one with "First Aiders" (on the WDT Pluto 1 DVD) and the Toyland one with "Pests of the West" (on the WDT Pluto 2 DVD).

And they also kept the Donald In Mathmagicland BV title when that was released on the WDT Donald 4 DVD, released in 2008.

[Kartoonkid95]

Excellent! I recommend this for every Disney movie afficianado!

[Kartoonkid95]

Excellent! Love it! I recommend it for Disney fans everywhere!

[systemoperator]

OMFG! I've never seen the BV logo from "The Aristocats" before? How'd you find it?

[systemoperator]

OMFG! I've never seen the BV logo from "The Aristocats" before! That's a certain rarity right there.

[systemoperator]

OMFG! I've never seen the BV logo for "The Aristocats" before. That's a certain rarity right there.

[8to16to35]

I have a friend that I met online several years ago who also enjoys the Buena Vistas, and he sent that to me. I`m not sure how it got it, maybe from TV; but that doesn`t make sense. He also gave me 3 or 4 others that I would not have if it wasn`t for him.

[systemoperator]

It could be on the new DVD release, from February 5, 2008.

[8to16to35]

No, it isn`t from the 2008 DVD release. I think it must be from a 16mm rental print.

[systemoperator]

But, it's got to be on there. There's no other choice.

[tscastro114]

Maybe Disney can put the BV logo when they release the "The Aristocats" on Blu-Ray someday. If not I assume Disney lost it and can only be on a 16mm rental print like 8to16to35 said.

[8to16to35]

I heard back from my friend who I got the BV for "Aristocats." He said he got it from a friend who owned a 16mm print.

[Gabrielkat]

I've never seen the BV logo for The Aristocats, either! Why they didn't include it on any of the home video releases is beyond me...

To Mac: why are you still saying OMFG? Just because you're religious, it doesn't mean you should say stuff like that, so you should just say OMG.

[systemoperator]

I'm not religious!

[Gabrielkat]

And the 2008 DVD doesn't have the BV logo.
