My 1993 Pinocchio VHS has the BV logo in the beginning, must been the rerelease. My bro has the Blu-Ray/DVD combo version, I gotta check if it has an RKO or the BV logo.
I was wondering. Do you think you can upload the opening credits to Casey at the bat and Johnny Appleseed? if so thank you i would like to know how their openings went
You should upload a comparison video between the two Buena Vista credits from The Great Mouse Detective, because the new DVD of that film restores the original "Distributed by Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc." credit.
What I mean is, the Mystery in the Mist Edition DVD of The Great Mouse Detective restores the original "Distributed by Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc." credit at the end of the film.
You should redo this little video over again, with the RKO logos for Snow White (from the 2009 DVD), Pinocchio (from the 2009 DVD), Bambi (from the laserdisc version) and Cinderella (from the laserdisc version).
The 'Alice in Wonderland' 2004 2-DVD set (which I have) has the RKO logo at the beginning, but I don't know about the reissue of 'Peter Pan' (I don't have THAT one).
@greenth1ng i doubt, my friend had the peter pan 1998 release that has BV logo but the one i had was the release of 2007 on dvd does have the radio rko logo b4 the opening credits.
The Peter Pan one is on the 1998 VHS and the one in Alice in Wonderland is also on the Masterpiece Collection releases and the Gold Classics Collection.
Re-upload this video, this time with the Pinocchio RKO logo (which is on the PE DVD). Also, see if the Bambi and Cinderella DVDs also have the RKO logos on their PE DVDs (I think they do, but I'm not sure).
The Platinum Edition of Bambi does NOT have the RKO logo and neither does the Cinderella PE DVD. They each have the cut-short Walt Disney Pictures logo with the RKO fanfares.

Actually, Snow White did have an RKO logo when originally released. At the beginning, there was an in-credit notice for RKO in the credits. At the end, there was the RKO logo with the text "A WALT DISNEY FEATURE Production" with "IN TECHNICOLOR" below. When Snow White was reissued in 1958, they rephotographed the credits to remove the RKO notice and (correct me if I'm wrong) put the Buena Vista logo at the beginning (possibly silent).
@8to16to35 2009 SNow Wite DVD have the RKO openings. But mind you many Shorts pre 1956 still dont have got there original titles back and many WDT shorts are reissue/recreation prints.
@8to16to35 it's rare to have BV logo on snow white but at least they can show the rko logo or BV logo is snow white but it was on theaters btw the era of 1954 to 1984 of disney on theaters
Snow White did not open with an RKO logo. Instead RKO was acknowledged in the context of the credits after the main title. There was also an RKO credit after the storybook closing at the end of the film (instead of "The End" )When the film was reissued in 1958 the Buena Vista logo was attached at the beginning of the newly filmed credits that removed RKO from the titles. The original credits can be seen in the supplemental DVD on the Snow White Platinum DVD.
*sigh*... How I will miss the good old Buena Vista... You know, until 2007 Buena Vista International placed its logo at the end of every Disney film or TV series, including those of Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, etc (Die Hard 3 and a few other even have a rare BVI opening logo!!!). This kind of signified that this is a Disney film... Now Disney-ABC Television doesn't place a logo at the end, so it's not the same. :(
Wait one minute. I saw a mishap: The logo for Victory Through Air Power at :19 said "Released Thru United Artists" not RKO. What does UA have to do with Disney?
United Artists was the primary release company for the Disney Studio following Columbia Pictures (late 20s/early 30s, respectively) and preceding RKO. Hence, UA eventually released VTAP when RKO was a) unable to, b) did not, or c) both.
RKO-Radio released virtually all of the Disney studio's films from 1937 through early '54 {with occasional exceptions, including "Victory Through Air Power" (1943); apparently, RKO wouldn't touch it, so Walt released it through his prior distributor (1932-'37), United Artists}. After "Buena Vista" was formed, the earlier films were reissued minus the RKO credits...
Pinocchio's RKO logo is intact on the 2003 DVD, which was released overseas but not in the USA. I think the upcoming Platinum Edition DVD may keep it as well, but we'll have to wait and see.
Maybe for those who the film when it first came out in 1950. But beyond that no. But Youtube user logoboy95 (who has long since been suspended) had the RKO logo from "Bambi". But for some reason the RKO logo weren't included on the P.E. DVD of either the films I just mentioned. I assume like the B.V. for "The AristoCats", it's been lost. But hopefully the RKO logos for "Bambi" and "Cinderella" will be included when they come out Blu-Ray someday.
I believe it has the Walt Disney Pictures logo on it. The previous video release had the Buena Vista. To the best of my knowledge, the RKO has never been released on video or DVD in the US.
Yes, that is true. I believe it says in the intro that most of Disney`s movies were released by RKO. I guess "Victory Through Air Power" was the only exception.
Oh, and on another 16mm transer of "Peter Pan", I thought I saw the Buena Vista logo from the late '60s and '70s, instead of the one used in most of the '60's.
I almost forgot. "Saludos Amigos," "Song of the South," and others probably still have their RKO logos still missing. 8to16to35, if you can locate any of them, pleae let us know.
I don`t think that Disney has ever released them on video or DVD or shown them on TV. Hopefully some day they will. There are also many Buena Vistas that have never been available.
Why is it impossible? I checked it out and it had the Buena Vista. It was released the same time the DVD first came out, so it makes sense that they would both be the same.
How can "Saludos Amigos" have a Buena Vista logo? It was released in 1942 and again in 1949. How can it have a BV logo if both times it was distributed by RKO?
Disney released their films not only to theaters, but also to TV channels, video, and so on. When they put it out, say, on TV or for home movie viewers for the first time, they didn't like the RKO logo popping up.
That's what I thought to! I have a VHS of Saludos Amigos that I bought a year ago, and I was surprised that it had a BV logo when it was distributed by RKO.
I got the "Chronological DOnald Vol. 4" for Christmas and on some of thr CinemaScope shorts, I saw an RKO logo at the beginning to fit in with the opening credits. Also, the fanfare for "The Litterbug" is not there. The BV logo is silent.
Which is what I don't get. On the DVD for "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," the Buena Vista fanfare for "Grand Canyonscope" (which is the bonus cartoon) is there. On the "Chronological Donald, Vol. 4" DVD, it is silent.
Disney is inconsistent. Since the DVD for "20,000 Leagues" has the music for the BV of "Grand Canyonscope", it must be accurate. The DVD of Chronological Donald Vol. 4 is missing the music; therefore it must be inaccurate. It is easier to remove the music (for whatever reason) than to add music that was never there. There have been other instances in which the music is missing on the DVD. For example, "Rascal." I got the music from a 16mm film; otherwise who would know if it had music?
I think Disney was phasing out their relationship with RKO just after starting Buena Vista, which might help explain why RKO was still distributing Disney cartoons into the late 50's.
I think RKO was not wanting to lose Disney. I understand that they rereleased some of the True-Life Adventures later on while still under contract with Disney.
I think "Grand Canyon" has no music because the 'Grand Canyon Suite' played throughout the film. Since a music piece played throughout the film, the music started over the creadits, but not the BV logo.
I heard the Walt Disney Company renamed "Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc" to "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures". The first movie to have the new distribution name was "Enchanted".
The BV for "Melody Time" is real. I got it off The Disney Channel. For the other two, I used the music that Disney provided and edited the BV logo onto them; because I know that they did have the BV for their rereleases. I also did that for some of the educational videos; such as "A Country Coyote Goes Hollywood," "Hang Your Hat on the Wind" and a few others.
On second thought, I change my mind. I don't think the BV logo for "Melody Time" is real, but I do think the BV logo for "Bambi" is real because it was probably used when the film was re-issued in 1966.
Flight of the Navigator (1986) was actually the last movie to have the Buena Vista name at the end.
The first movie to have "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc." was actually Benji the Hunted (1987).
For The Great Mouse Detective, the original 1986 release had "Distributed by Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc." at the end, but it was replaced with "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc." for the 1992 re-release.
The video version also has the re-release version. It was released on video some time AFTEr it was re-released to theaters. Thus, the re-release version was used.

it's looking very very old, and it's in widescreen

I almost forgot. "Saludos Amigos," "Song of the South," and others probably still have their RKO logos still missing. 8to16to35, if you can locate any of them, pleae let us know.

I don`t think that Disney has ever released them on video or DVD or shown them on TV. Hopefully some day they will. There are also many Buena Vistas that have never been available.
8to16to35 3 years ago
Actually, I think that the WD Gold Classic Edition of "Saludos Amigos" has the original RKO logo.
systemoperator 3 years ago
No, I`m afraid it doesn`t. I just checked. It has the Buena Vista like the DVD.
8to16to35 3 years ago
That's impossible!
systemoperator 3 years ago
Why is it impossible? I checked it out and it had the Buena Vista. It was released the same time the DVD first came out, so it makes sense that they would both be the same.
8to16to35 3 years ago
I'd like to find out for myself, instead of someone telling me.
systemoperator 3 years ago
Okay.
8to16to35 3 years ago
How can "Saludos Amigos" have a Buena Vista logo? It was released in 1942 and again in 1949. How can it have a BV logo if both times it was distributed by RKO?
Kartoonkid95 2 years ago
It must be from a foreign release after 1953. Disney must have changed the RKO to the Buena Vista even for rereleases overseas.
8to16to35 2 years ago
Also in your other BV video, "Melody Time" was shown to have a Buena Vista logo. How could it if it was released to theaters only once?
Kartoonkid95 2 years ago
It must have been rereleased outside the United States after 1953.
8to16to35 2 years ago
"Saludos Amigos" was first released in Austria in 1954. Perhaps the BV comes from that release.

Disney released their films not only to theaters, but also to TV channels, video, and so on. When they put it out, say, on TV or for home movie viewers for the first time, they didn't like the RKO logo popping up.

That's what I thought to! I have a VHS of Saludos Amigos that I bought a year ago, and I was surprised that it had a BV logo when it was distributed by RKO.

I just know there is a RKO lgoo for "Pinocchio." Trouble is that it ONLY appears on the UK "Special Edition" DVD.

The BV logo from "Donald Duck Cartoon" has the opening title music to the Donald Duck cartoon "Donald's Diary" (1954).

@Kartoonkid95__Sure you're righto! but, i have seen Doanld's diary,
and this version has the originald RKO logo with the fanfare, maybe they banned it at the 56-57

I got the "Chronological DOnald Vol. 4" for Christmas and on some of thr CinemaScope shorts, I saw an RKO logo at the beginning to fit in with the opening credits. Also, the fanfare for "The Litterbug" is not there. The BV logo is silent.
Kartoonkid95 3 years ago
Which is what I don't get. On the DVD for "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," the Buena Vista fanfare for "Grand Canyonscope" (which is the bonus cartoon) is there. On the "Chronological Donald, Vol. 4" DVD, it is silent.
videos4everybody 3 years ago
Disney is inconsistent. Since the DVD for "20,000 Leagues" has the music for the BV of "Grand Canyonscope", it must be accurate. The DVD of Chronological Donald Vol. 4 is missing the music; therefore it must be inaccurate. It is easier to remove the music (for whatever reason) than to add music that was never there. There have been other instances in which the music is missing on the DVD. For example, "Rascal." I got the music from a 16mm film; otherwise who would know if it had music?

I think Disney was phasing out their relationship with RKO just after starting Buena Vista, which might help explain why RKO was still distributing Disney cartoons into the late 50's.
neoprankster 3 years ago
I think RKO was not wanting to lose Disney. I understand that they rereleased some of the True-Life Adventures later on while still under contract with Disney.
8to16to35 3 years ago
I think "Grand Canyon" has no music because the 'Grand Canyon Suite' played throughout the film. Since a music piece played throughout the film, the music started over the creadits, but not the BV logo.
Kartoonkid95 3 years ago
Did you get the "Alice in Wonderland" version of the BV logo from the 1981 video release?
Kartoonkid95 3 years ago
Yes. It is from the video, which, I beleive, presented it as it was rereleased in the 1970s.
8to16to35 3 years ago
I always wanted to see how that went as well.

I heard the Walt Disney Company renamed "Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc" to "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures". The first movie to have the new distribution name was "Enchanted".
tscastro114 3 years ago 2
Yes, I understand that Disney is no longer using the Buena Vista name, or will soon stop using it.
8to16to35 3 years ago
I know! I saw "Enchanted" in theaters and it was there!

I don't think the BV logos for "Bambi", "Melody Time", and "Peter Pan" are real.
systemoperator 3 years ago
The BV for "Melody Time" is real. I got it off The Disney Channel. For the other two, I used the music that Disney provided and edited the BV logo onto them; because I know that they did have the BV for their rereleases. I also did that for some of the educational videos; such as "A Country Coyote Goes Hollywood," "Hang Your Hat on the Wind" and a few others.
8to16to35 3 years ago
On second thought, I change my mind. I don't think the BV logo for "Melody Time" is real, but I do think the BV logo for "Bambi" is real because it was probably used when the film was re-issued in 1966.
systemoperator 3 years ago
A few corrections:
Flight of the Navigator (1986) was actually the last movie to have the Buena Vista name at the end.
The first movie to have "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc." was actually Benji the Hunted (1987).
For The Great Mouse Detective, the original 1986 release had "Distributed by Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc." at the end, but it was replaced with "Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc." for the 1992 re-release.

That is very interesting. I should have realized that the DVD is the movie as it was rereleased. I should check the video to see what it has
8to16to35 3 years ago
The video version also has the re-release version. It was released on video some time AFTEr it was re-released to theaters. Thus, the re-release version was used.
