List of Walt Disney Classics video releases
This list covers all the Walt Disney Classics (or "Black Diamond") titles released from 1984 to 1994.
1984
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 video market was because the film itself was considered weaker in terms of story and animation compared to the other titles.

Notes
- Copies of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Great Mouse Detective" printed between July-November 1992 had prototype-sized Proof of Purchase labels printed above the back covers.
- To promote the release of the first few titles to be under the Jim Henson Video label on January 29, 1993, September 1991-October 1992 titles, with the exception of Fantasia, from this series were re-issued, with regular Proof of Purchase labels placed above the back covers, but no additional changes to their print masters. The earliest copies of these issues were printed in November 1992.
