This list covers all the Walt Disney Classics (also known as '''Black Diamond''', '''The Classics''' or '''The Classics from Walt Disney Home Video''') titles released from 1984 to 1994, as well as similar releases. |
||
==Part of the Classics series (1984-1994)== |
|||
=== |
===Wave One (1984-1988)=== |
||
The original logo from the series was nicknamed the Cheesy Diamond. |
|||
Disney was generally reluctant to release any of their animated classics on video (the only exceptions being ''Dumbo'' and ''Alice in Wonderland''), as it might put them at risk of losing reissue revenue. Therefore, the reason why ''Robin Hood'' was picked first to be released in the series was because the film itself was considered weaker in terms of story and animation compared to the other titles; its disappointing performance in its 1982 reissue was also cited as a factor. |

====December 1984==== |

||
==== July 1985 ==== |
|||
Due to ''Pinocchio'' making less money than expected during its 1984 theatrical reissue, Disney took a chance and released the film to video the following year instead of ''The Sword in the Stone'' like they had initially planned to. The video release quickly became one of the best-selling videos of the year, opening up further possibilities for the Walt Disney Classics line. |

After a year-long delay, ''The Sword in the Stone'' was finally released to video. This was the first release in the Classics line to contain trailers for other video title releases; video releases under the Walt Disney Home Video label from March and April 1986 advertised this release. This practice would be repeated for the video release of ''Sleeping Beauty'' later in 1986. |

===Wave Two (1988-1994)=== |
|||
Starting with ''Cinderella'', Disney updated the on-screen Walt Disney Classics logo. The new logo opened with the same animation of Sorcerer Mickey that the standard WDHV logo of the time used, but this time, the background turns from black to gradient black and light blue, and the spark forms yellow text reading “Walt Disney” on the top and “CLASSICS” on the bottom in front of a CGI-animated shiny black diamond. This gradient background variant was originally made to appear exclusively on the 1988 retail video release of ''Cinderella''; however, it later appeared on the 1991 retail video release of ''Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece'', the 1992 Descriptive Video Service-encoded video release of ''Dumbo'', the 1992 demo VHS releases of ''The Rescuers'' and ''Beauty and the Beast'', the 1992 retail video re-issues of ''Robin Hood'' (on some USA and Canadian copies) and ''The Rescuers Down Under'' (on Canadian copies only), and some French Canadian video releases ranging from 1992 to 1993. |
|||
Starting with ''Bambi'', the CGI Diamond logo was updated to include a plain dark blue background in place of the gradient background. In addition, the diamond lacks some of the shine it had in the prototype logo. |
|||
Starting with the second version of ''101 Dalmatians'', the lilac bumpers are introduced; typically, those bumpers used the Laser LET font and the stock music piece "Great Ovation" from the Bruton Music library; though on ''Beauty and the Beast'', two of the bumpers instead used "Fanfare to the Modern Man 3" from the aforementioned music library. |
|||
In addition, a third variation of the 1988/1989 Shiny Diamond logo was created, with the color slightly tinted to blue. Starting with the retail VHS release of ''The Rescuers'', an unofficial fourth variation of the logo was created. Possibly due to deterioration of the master recording and/or the amplification of the bass on the recording, the unofficial fourth variation has bass heavy-distorted audio. Unsurprisingly, the bass heavy-distorted audio can be heard on the previous variations of the 1988/1989 logo when the tape/disc is played on a bigger sound system while set to the highest bass. |
|||
Titles released in the series in the limited availability wave from September 1991 to October 1992, with the exception of ''Fantasia'' which was released on November 1, 1991 and sold for only 50 days, went into moratorium on April 30, 1993, while titles released in the series from March to October 1993 went into moratorium a year later in 1994. |

Starting with the video release of ''Peter Pan'', Disney would further integrate their Classics line with their theatrical releases, placing behind-the-scenes trailers for their upcoming films during their opening previews. This month of 1990 was also when ''The Little Mermaid'' was released on LaserDisc. |
|||
These releases went into moratorium on April 30, 1991. |

** At the end of the behind-the-scenes trailer, Angela Lansbury, who voiced Mrs. Potts in the film itself, says "He's our guest!", even though she says "She's our guest!" in the film itself. This is because when the film was still in production, the song, "Be Our Guest" was originally meant to be sung to Belle's father, Maurice; however, one day after a viewing of the scene, one of the contributors, Bruce Woodside, suggested that the song should be sung to Belle instead. Later, on January 29, 1991, the scene was re-animated, with the song re-recorded and the lyrics altered. |

*** Unsurprisingly, the earliest copy of this release was printed in late January 1991. |

Disney releases another one of their "untouchable" animated films to home video with the 1991 video release of ''Fantasia''. The VHS counterpart was one of the highest-selling VHS releases of all time and was sold both as an individual tape, and as a Deluxe Collector's Edition boxset with a bonus title detailing the making of the film, called ''Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece'' and other bonus features. This title went into moratorium on December 21, 1991, after only 50 days. |

Strangely enough, the earliest copies of the 1996 VHS release of “Pocahontas”, prior to mid-to-late December 1995, started with the second variation of the 1988/1989 Walt Disney Classics logo. On copies printed after mid-to-late December 1995, this logo was later replaced with the correct logo, which is the 1994 Masterpiece Collection logo. |

July 1985[edit]
Due to Pinocchio making less money than expected during its 1984 theatrical reissue, Disney took a chance and released the film to video the following year instead of The Sword in the Stone like they had initially planned to. The video release quickly became one of the best-selling videos of the year, opening up further possibilities for the Walt Disney Classics line.

After a year-long delay, The Sword in the Stone was finally released to video. This was the first release in the Classics line to contain trailers for other video title releases; video releases under the Walt Disney Home Video label from March and April 1986 advertised this release. This practice would be repeated for the video release of Sleeping Beauty later in 1986.

Wave Two (1988-1994)[edit]
Starting with Cinderella, Disney updated the on-screen Walt Disney Classics logo. The new logo opened with the same animation of Sorcerer Mickey that the standard WDHV logo of the time used, but this time, the background turns from black to gradient black and light blue, and the spark forms yellow text reading “Walt Disney” on the top and “CLASSICS” on the bottom in front of a CGI-animated shiny black diamond. This gradient background variant was originally made to appear exclusively on the 1988 retail video release of Cinderella; however, it later appeared on the 1991 retail video release of Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece, the 1992 Descriptive Video Service-encoded video release of Dumbo, the 1992 demo VHS releases of The Rescuers and Beauty and the Beast, the 1992 retail video re-issues of Robin Hood (on some USA and Canadian copies) and The Rescuers Down Under (on Canadian copies only), and some French Canadian video releases ranging from 1992 to 1993.
Starting with Bambi, the CGI Diamond logo was updated to include a plain dark blue background in place of the gradient background. In addition, the diamond lacks some of the shine it had in the prototype logo.
Starting with the second version of 101 Dalmatians, the lilac bumpers are introduced; typically, those bumpers used the Laser LET font and the stock music piece "Great Ovation" from the Bruton Music library; though on Beauty and the Beast, two of the bumpers instead used "Fanfare to the Modern Man 3" from the aforementioned music library. In addition, a third variation of the 1988/1989 Shiny Diamond logo was created, with the color slightly tinted to blue. Starting with the retail VHS release of The Rescuers, an unofficial fourth variation of the logo was created. Possibly due to deterioration of the master recording and/or the amplification of the bass on the recording, the unofficial fourth variation has bass heavy-distorted audio. Unsurprisingly, the bass heavy-distorted audio can be heard on the previous variations of the 1988/1989 logo when the tape/disc is played on a bigger sound system while set to the highest bass.
Titles released in the series in the limited availability wave from September 1991 to October 1992, with the exception of Fantasia which was released on November 1, 1991 and sold for only 50 days, went into moratorium on April 30, 1993, while titles released in the series from March to October 1993 went into moratorium a year later in 1994.

May 1990[edit]
For the first time, Disney releases a film from their animated canon to video less than a year after its theatrical release with the 1990 VHS release of The Little Mermaid. The VHS release sold insanely well, convincing Disney to pursue this release strategy for their other upcoming films.

September 1990[edit]
Starting with the video release of Peter Pan, Disney would further integrate their Classics line with their theatrical releases, placing behind-the-scenes trailers for their upcoming films during their opening previews. This month of 1990 was also when The Little Mermaid was released on LaserDisc.
These releases went into moratorium on April 30, 1991.

Disney releases another one of their "untouchable" animated films to home video with the 1991 video release of Fantasia. The VHS counterpart was one of the highest-selling VHS releases of all time and was sold both as an individual tape, and as a Deluxe Collector's Edition boxset with a bonus title detailing the making of the film, called Fantasia: The Making of a Masterpiece and other bonus features. This title went into moratorium on December 21, 1991, after only 50 days.

Part of the Masterpiece Collection series, but released with the Classics logo (1996)[edit]
February 1996[edit]
Strangely enough, the earliest copies of the 1996 VHS release of “Pocahontas”, prior to mid-to-late December 1995, started with the second variation of the 1988/1989 Walt Disney Classics logo. On copies printed after mid-to-late December 1995, this logo was later replaced with the correct logo, which is the 1994 Masterpiece Collection logo.
