Revision as of 22:56, 23 April 2022
This list covers all the Walt Disney Classics (or "Black Diamond") titles released from 1984 to 1994 and strangely, 1996.
Walt Disney Home Video - The Classics (1984-1988)
The original logo from the series was nicknamed the Cheesy Black Diamond.
December 1984
Disney was initially reluctant to release any of their animated classics that had only seen theatrical release on video, as it might put them at risk of losing reissue revenue. Robin Hood was picked as the first Classics release 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.

Walt Disney Classics (1988-1994, 1996)
When Disney updated the logo from this series in 1988, starting with “Cinderella”, the logo was basically Sorcerer Mickey at the beginning and then the Shiny Black Diamond with the yellow text saying “Walt Disney” on the top and “CLASSICS” on the bottom. The prototype shiny black-blue background variation appeared on the 1988 release of “Cinderella”, and later, select September 1992 titles, including the demo VHS and regular laserdisc versions of “The Rescuers”.
In 1989, starting with “Bambi”, an official variation of the new logo was created, only with the background being plain normal blue. Then in 1992, starting with “101 Dalmatians”, a third variation of the logo was created, with the color slightly tinted to blue and clean audio.
Starting with “The Rescuers”, a fourth variation of the logo was created, with enhanced bass heavy audio.

Strangely enough, the earliest copies of the 1996 VHS release of “Pocahontas” that were printed between late November-mid December 1995 started with the fourth variation of the 1988/1989 Walt Disney Classics logo.
