Walt Disney Classics 1988

[Gabrielkat]

@WARRENCOOK1995 For the last time, none of the Mini Classics tapes ever used this logo!

[MrDmanflan]

@Gabrielkat He's very difficult :D

[videocassettlover]

This is my favorite of all the Classics. '88 is the best by far. Fapped to it like twelve times at work today.

[TheAwesomeChampion]

This was also taken from Fox and the Hound

[Gabrielkat]

@TheAwesomeChampion Actually, the 1994 VHS of "The Fox and the Hound" used the 1992 version of this logo (with the distorted music).

[aftershock16509]

I still get cold chills when I watch this.

[GORSKIED]

they should have kept this one. It's way better than the 1989 one

[MrLogoman007]

This scared the living daylights out of me as a kid.

[23trainwrecks]

I can't believe I found this! Why didn't ever keep my VHS tapes?

[Tonytambe]

Toy Story should deserve this logo. Toy Story 2 should deserve the mini classic logo. Because the first one is better than the second.

[TerfyisBack]

Well no because it was released in the 2000's.

[aftershock16509]

@Tonytambe huh?

[Longcatalt]

@aftershock16509 Thats just a joke that one is not in those movies.

[Sports2FilmReviews]

The part in the beginning up until the Walt Disney letters start writing is scarry.

[Luvingazula]

That prototype walt disney classics logo is my favorite.

[TheDemoniusX]

When I was 5 and saw this I clung to my dad because that very first tone of music scared me me and thought the diamond was going to come out of the tv and eat me. Lol. Well now I find it a epic piece of awesome history.

[CrazyBrandondorf]

@TheDemoniusX That doesnt have teeth, thats a metal diamond.

[TheDemoniusX]

@CrazyBrandondorf

I know that now! :D

[31operafan]

@TheDemoniusX I used to be afraid of this logo too, and I think it was because of the music and the sudden appearance of Mickey. I would ask my parents to fast-forward past it, then press "Play" when the film starts.

[Vaznock]

Thats what i'm thinking is that idea.

[Sports2FilmReviews]

I used to like this intro as a kid. But that music in the beginning sounds a little creepy up until the letters start writting. I love how Tinker Bell flies over the letters a shines them up.

[MrLogoman007]

@Sports2FilmReviews That's not Tinker Bell.

[hitmontop16]

ohh... you just relived my childhood memories... :'-)

[CrazyBrandondorf]

This ones also taken from Mickey's Magical World.

[Gabrielkat]

@CrazyBrandondorf Uh, Mickey's Magical World is a Walt Disney Mini-Classics title.

[CrazyBrandondorf]

@Gabrielkat I know it is and this logo comes before the Walt Disney Mini Classics logo.

[Gabrielkat]

@CrazyBrandondorf Actually, it has the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo before the Mini-Classics logo.

[rod1014]

@CrazyBrandondorf You need to stop stealing videos from everyone and faking them that there yours. Please???

[MADDOG6400]

That logo scared the crap out of me as a kid, and it scares me MORE as an adult and I pass out thinking about it when I'm high!

[Teddyx1016]

There is a 1993 re-print of Robin Hood that has this logo. The tape is actually from 1992.

[JacqulineX69]

Cinderella Previews (alternative 1988 print)

1. Red FBI Screens

2. Oliver and Company trailer

3. Bambi trailer

4. Walt Disney Classics 1988 logo

6. Opening Credits

[TheBuilderman123]

taken the fox and the hound vhs

[newandused1998]

the backround is differint, the letters have more color,  and the dimond is shinyer.

[tothemax300]

whats the difference from this one and the 1989 one???

[ApeEscaper493]

The background in this has a blue/ black combo, while the 1989 version has a solid blue background.

[WAYNE1980AA]

the music gets a better remix and the background/tint change.

[3dkidsartfairs]

I think this should be on

1. Oliver & Company (1989 Print)

2. Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs (1988 Print)

[3dkidsartfairs]

Shown on:

1. Cinderella (1988 Print)

2. Sleeping Beauty (1988 Print)

3. Lady & The Tramp (1989 Print)

4. Robin Hood (1991 Print Abeit offscreen)

5. The Rescuers Down Under (Same as 4)

[HallieVanilla4]

these are my favorite movies!!

[supersmashbrosfan94]

I never seen this on Robin Hood. In the both "Classic" version I seen, all it does was cut it short for no reason. Now to watch the video.

[WAYNE1980AA]

i have the canadian version with this logo and the other mix

[supersmashbrosfan94]

I live in American, maybe that explains why we don't have the full logo. Care to upload it for us? If so, I suggest telling them it's an real Candian print, so Americans shouldn't complain if they see the 1988 intro in the Candian version of "Robin Hood".

[WAYNE1980AA]

i will post it as soon as my camcorder is fixed--it shouldn't be long.

[supersmashbrosfan94]

I shall be patience.

[matte1592]

they might have took too much lsd

[MacDMan15]

It's seen on a re-print version of "The Rescuers Down Under".

[videolover648]

This was seen on my other copy of "Robin Hood".

[resdsox1]

Its not scary its pritty cool

[savion74]

scary.

[Gabrielkat]

I don't find it scary... although I do find it to be weird, because of the diamond having not as much black as in the 1989 and 1992 variations.

[livinlarge18]

This also appears on a canadian copy of The Rescuers Down Under

[tothemax300]

well, im actually scared of some songs and intros. IDK why, I just am?

[wisp2007]

I like the prototype better than the later versions. But that's just me. What do you people think ?

[wiley207]

I agree, it does look cooler this way. I remember when I got my Robin Hood video and the logo was starting up, but when the blue background began fading up early with and the metallic diamond began slowly zooming up, I was like WTF? I thought this was a neat surprise, since I was expcecting the cut-short version of the regular logo.

[Gabrielkat]

I don't like the prototype logo... I like the 1989 and 1992 variations better.

[mollyzkoubou]

Along with the red-on-white FBI logo and the white-on-red "Licensed for private home exhibition only" disclaimer, the 1988 CLV LD version of Cinderella has a metal diamond same as the VHS does.

[systemoperator]

It's orange FBI screens!

[mollyzkoubou]

FBI logo is #A74315

Following disclaimer is #CA6019

...alright, it's orange, are you happy?

[systemoperator]

Thanks!

[grf450]

I got this on countless Disney tapes, except for Sleeping Beauty and Lady and the Tramp and I didn't know it appeared on later prints. They must be rare.

[systemoperator]

I made a mistake. They didn't make any copies of "Sleeping Beauty" and "Lady and the Tramp" with this on them.

[wiley207]

I heard the European release of "Lady and the Tramp" had this opening. But I know the European Classics releases did not use the diamond print logo. Instead they just had a generic "Walt Disney Classics" heading above the title, and then in 1998 they switched to a print\ logo that had "CLASSICS" on a scroll.

[systemoperator]

I think I know that.

[livinlarge18]

and on PaulsBuck's version of The Resecuers Down Under

[jonghyunchung]

The prototype "Classics" logo is actually from 1988-1992.

[systemoperator]

Actually, it is from 1988-9 and 1991-2

[4starcashier]

Man and I thought they were all the same lol!

[Boatfan89]

this may actually be from 89 when this came out because a lot of people are saying this logo is from 89 and i agree with them, but only used till 94ish

[systemoperator]

This is from 1988 because the 1988 VHS of "Cinderella" has it. Your thinking about another variation of this logo.

[livinlarge18]

It also appears on the 1988 print of Dumbo

[systemoperator]

No, it doesn't! It has 1984 WDC logo!

[livinlarge18]

There is a 1989 print that uses this logo

[Gabrielkat]

Actually, the 1989 print is the same as the 1988 tape, only with a slightly modified label. The 1991 re-print has the 1989 variation of this logo.

[mjen1952]

Tell me the previews, logos, and FBI screens on the 1991 re-print.

[systemoperator]

Dere rn't previews on dere, just ur vid. of "Red FBI screens & Walt Disney Classics".

[systemoperator]

They're aren't any previews on 1991 print of Dumbo. Just 1984 FBI warnings & 1989 WDC logo.

[livinlarge18]

I don't remember a 1988 print of Sleeping Beauty or Lady and the Tramp in the wikipedia article

[systemoperator]

Dey don't Nclude it 'cause dey don't need 2.

[systemoperator]

Dere'R copEs like dem, dere R!

[Copper20]

Some of the sides are cut off.

[sega3dmm]

What does albeit offscreen mean?

[systemoperator]

U know, 1988 & 1989 logos are kind of like ying yangs.

[sega3dmm]

Is this Hi-Fi sound?

[systemoperator]

Most likely, yes.

[Ferrari1945]

Goddamn that was really scary!

[systemoperator]

No, it's not! It's beautiful!

[Gabrielkat]

What makes you think that this variant of the 1988 WDC logo is beautiful? I think the diamond looks ugly, because there's not a lot of black inside it!!

[systemoperator]

'Cause of metallic white wrds. in diamond & pink tint over diamonnd.

[livinlarge18]

I hate the 1989 logo you uploaded its too dark

[systemoperator]

I think it's beautiful. But, not of course, as beautiful as this logo.

[livinlarge18]

I filmed it and it didn't look so dark

[Aubster06]

this was taken from "Cinderella," correct?

[systemoperator]

Yep.

[Aubster06]

if memory serves me correctly, it then went to the 1985 WDP logo and then the film, did it not?

[systemoperator]

Yes, you're right! That's exactly what happened next.

[Aubster06]

i don't have the 1988 VHS release of "Cinderella," but I do recall seeing it one time. as usual, systemoperator, thank you

[systemoperator]

Your welcome! I've seen that tape, 2 & also recall seein' a trailer of Oliver & Company on there.

[Aubster06]

i recall that too. it's been the mid-90's since I've seen it. So if I recall correctly, the previews for "Cinderella" would be in this order:

1. Red FBI screens

2. Oliver and Company preview

3. 1988 WDC logo

4. 1985 WDP logo

5. the film

[systemoperator]

Yep & don't forget, green preview logo was at start of trailer.

[systemoperator]

As a matter a fact, I know 4 VHS Oliver & Company trailer's on: Cinderella Classics, Ducktales: Accidental Adventures & New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: vols.1 & 2: Great Honey Pot Robery & Wishing Bear! All released in 1988!

[Imaxination80]

Actually Systemoperator, I had Great Honey Pot Robbery, and the trailer for Oliver & Company wasn't on there. I lost the tape in '03 or '04.

[systemoperator]

OK, then it's on 3 VHS I know: Cinderella Classics (w/green preview logo), Ducktales: Accidental Adventures & New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: vol.2: The Wishing Bear! All released 1988!

[systemoperator]

As I would describe this logo to the tune of Duck the Great Western Engine from "Thomas & Friends", which you can see on a "Tribute to Duck" vid.

Oh, this is the 1988-1989 classics logo,

Seen on the 1988 re-print of Sleeping Beauty, along with the 1988 print of Cinderella

Along with the 1989 re-print of Lady & the Tramp

Although it did appear on a 1992 re-print of Robin Hood.

[Girlygirlnat101]

i was not even born. . .

[sega3dmm]

That's good.

[wiley207]

Actually, I heard that the "Robin Hood" videos with this logo was actually from late 1991 to early 1992, since the green FBI warnings DID debut in 1991.

BTW, it would've been easier to tell the "Robin Hood" videos apart if the ones with the prototype Classics logo had a WHITE label instead of the ink one, like "Cinderella" does.

[Imaxination80]

That is right. Although I heard The Rescuers Down Under has a variant from 1992 with the Green FBI screens and the 1992 FP logo. I need to get a hold of that print to see it.

[mjen1952]

The Robin Hood video.

[systemoperator]

Yes mjen1952, I know this was on the 1992 print of Robin Hood, but the actual video itself was released in 1991.

[mjen1952]

This logo is on the 1992 release systemoperator. Not 1991!

[philipgarbarino]

I found this on Cinderella

[systemoperator]

Now this is great! But you're description should say, "The first (prototype) variant of the 1988 Walt Disney Classics logo, which has a blue/black gradient background and a metallic diamond. This was taken from (& 1st seen on) Cinderella, though it also appears on later prints of the 1991 Robin Hood video (aibeit offscreen), as well as a 1988 print of Sleeping Beauty & 1989 print of Ladu & the Tramp".

[Imaxination80]

Lady and the Tramp was discontinued in 1March 1988, but I'll get a later printing Sleeping Beauty to check if it has it.

[Copper20]

Seen this from Robin Hood.
