List of Walt Disney Classics video releases

This list covers all the Walt Disney Classics (or "Black Diamond") titles released from 1984 to 1994 and strangely, 1996.

Part of the Classics series (1984-1994)

Season One (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.

Season Two (1988-1991)

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 October 1992 titles, as well as the September 1992 demo VHS and retail laserdisc versions of “The Rescuers”.

In 1989, starting with “Bambi”, an official variation of the new Shiny Black Diamond logo was created, only with the background being plain normal blue.
