File talk:The Little Princess (1988 Viking Video Classics).jpg

I'm assuming that Video Cassette Duplicating Corp.'s Marina Del Rey, CA plant was responsible for these printings. Presumably, the "60" is the nominal tape length (LP mode I guess?).

I own the 1991 VHS release of this film, from Burbank Video (at the time, Burbank Video was distributed by Video Treasures as Viking Entertainment became an in-name only unit from Handleman Company which acquired Viking in 1987-88 and Video Treasures in 1988-89), and although it has a newer video master (Blue tracking control disclaimer, FBI warning and Burbank Video logo ft. "Ruslan and Ludmila") and a newer sticker face label (an odd one, though, as it has a copyright date (unlike the usual sticker labels or silkscreen-inked labels of post-1991 pressings of most Burbank Video releases) it is small and the Burbank Video logo there looks more like the Video Treasures logo), it reuses the 1988 Viking/Troy Gold packaging cover.

I’d also like to point out that this 1988 release of "The Little Princess" was not the only VHS under Viking's short-lived Troy Gold label to steal GoodTimes Home Video's tracking control disclaimer screen, as apparently, a 1988 VHS release of "It's a Wonderful Life" from Viking's Troy Gold label also stole GoodTimes Home Video's tracking control disclaimer (as confirmed by a logo video from that release uploaded to YouTube by The AVTB Archives). Plus, the GoodTimes Home Video prints of this film and that other film I'd also mentioned used different masters.

• Troy Gold stealing GoodTimes’ tracking control disclaimer is almost like AIC Home Video stealing certain VHS tape masters from various companies for their tapes. I've seen two YouTube uploads of AIC Home Video tapes; Popeye and Woody Woodpecker, both uploaded by Tookey Dookey. The Popeye tape steals the master from Amvest Video/Kid Pics, while the Woody Woodpecker one steals the master from United American Video. 47.17.104.88 11:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

It’s also similar to how Diamond Entertainment Corporation stole Warner Home Video’s FBI warning screen for their releases in the 1990s, and how Goldstar Video Corporation's Goldrix Entertainment division (co-owned with duplicator Matrix Video Duplication Corporation) stole Troy Gold's masters for their cartoon releases long after Troy Gold merged into Burbank Video. I even own an Avon VHS of "Road to Bali", which steals Burbank Video’s 1990 cover art (albeit with Avon’s catalog number on the spines) and, to my surprise, Unicorn Video’s mid-1980s master (I expected an actual Burbank Video master when I got that tape). What’s even weirder is that Unicorn Video’s master stole Embassy Home Entertainment/Nelson Entertainment’s FBI warning screen, and the master for the film itself from Colex Enterprises (a joint venture between Columbia Pictures Television and barter syndicator LBS Communications that was active from 1984–1987). I wonder if retail copies of the Burbank Video release of "Road to Bali" also stole Unicorn Video’s master.

Speaking of stealing masters, current modern-day prints of certain episodes of season 1 of Heathcliff and Cats & Company (also known as Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats), which was a cartoon produced by DIC in association with McNaught Syndicate, Inc. and LBS Communications, steal masters from Lorimar-Telepictures (which apparently once held international distribution rights to the cartoon alongside several other 1980s DIC cartoons), which those particular masters for certain episodes have the Lorimar-Telepictures logo at the beginning right before the cartoon's opening sequence. How these masters managed to see the light of day here in the U.S. is beyond me.

• According to The VCR from Heck on Tumblr, Goldstar not only stole the Troy Gold tape masters for their Goldrix division, but they also ripped the characters on the cases badly from Burbank Video’s 50 Classic All Star Cartoons, Volume II front case, as well as the front cases of Simitar Entertainment’s Sing Along with Bugs Bunny, Sing Along with Daffy Duck, and Sing Along with Porky Pig. 47.17.104.88 21:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Magnum Video also stole Troy Gold and Burbank Video's tape masters for their cartoon releases from 1997 which were duplicated exclusively by CD Video Manufacturing. They even stole the cover art from them. Their cartoon releases don't even include a proper reference to Magnum Video, the covers solely refer to CD Video Manufacturing; the only way you can tell those releases were from Magnum Video is by the prefixes of the UPC codes on the back covers. 69.85.235.47 13:33, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Also, Goldstar Video (when they were known as Goldstar Entertainment) also stole Turner Home Entertainment's tracking control screen for their Greatest Adventure Stories From the Bible releases. They also edited out both the Turner Home Entertainment and 1987 Turner logos that appeared after the FBI warning screen.
