Line 1:
Walt Disney Mini-Classics was a video series of Disney animated featurettes, which ran from 1988 to 19931992. Each featurette ran about 25-40 minutes. This list covers all the Walt Disney Mini-Classics titles released from this date range, as well as similar releases after the discontinuation of the line.
 
==Part of the Mini-Classics series (1988-19931992)==
 
===May 1988===
Line 81:
 
===September 1989===
Starting in this month of 1989, the Winnie the Pooh featurettes on home video were released in the series, coinciding with the video release of "Bambi". In fact, ana insert bookletpamphlet that comes with the "Bambi" video release advertises the titles released in this batch.
 
Copies of these releases prior to August 15, 1989 use the 15-second freezing cut-out Mini-Classics logo variation, while copies printed after use the 2-second freezing fade-out variation.
Line 105:
* This title was originally released as a double-feature with the re-issue of the 1963 film, "The Sword in the Stone". In fact, this release was likely to ride on the coattails of the video reissue of that film.
* This title was the last of the only five titles in the series to use the September 1989 promo at the end of the video.
