Latest revision as of 23:23, 27 November 2023
This list covers all the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection titles released from 1994 to 1999, as well as similar releases.
Part of the Masterpiece Collection series (1994-1999) Edit
October 1994 Edit
Copies of these releases prior to late August 1994 open with the 1986 WDHV "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, while copies printed after open with the Masterpiece Collection logo.
Excluding Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, these releases open with the blue text "Now Available on Videocassette" screen, a video trailer for The Brave Little Toaster, and the lilac "Feature Presentation" screen, and the earliest copies of these were printed in late July 1994.

March 1995 Edit
The Lion King was released on home video for the first time as part of the Masterpiece Collection. Although this particular title is advertised in the 1995 update of the Masterpiece Collection trailer, and has the logo on its cover artwork, the logo doesn't appear at all on the tape itself - not on the tape label, nor on-screen.
Also released this month were re-issues of the original batch of Masterpiece Collection titles, with the exception of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", with updated print masters. These print masters use the Flashbang bumpers and include an updated video trailer for the Masterpiece Collection with footage from The Lion King, followed by video trailers for The Brave Little Toaster and the Family Film Collection.

February 1996 Edit
Along with the video debut of Pocahontas, the initial batch of Masterpiece Collection titles is reissued again. Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Three Caballeros, and So Dear to My Heart never received updated masters following this wave.
Curiously, this batch of reissues features the bass heavy-distorted rendition of the Walt Disney Classics theme playing over the Masterpiece Collection logo. They otherwise open with an updated trailer for the Masterpiece Collection featuring footage from Cinderella, a trailer for the Family Film Collection, and a trailer for the then-upcoming release of Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

To further streamline the opening trailers on their releases, high-profile Disney releases (including Masterpiece Collection titles) adapt "Walt Disney Company Intro" bumpers that transition between different sets of trailers.

Along with two new releases, six older Masterpiece Collection titles received updated print masters this month.
Unless otherwise noted, these re-releases of the titles open with the 1998 trailer for the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection and video trailers for Melody Time, The Spirit of Mickey, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, and Kiki's Delivery Service (using the original Buena Vista Home Video logo at the start).
The lilac "Feature Presentation" screen was scrapped at this point, and the Flashbang version of the bumper was used in its place.
