List of Walt Disney Mini-Classics video releases

Walt Disney Mini-Classics was a video series of Disney animated featurettes, which ran from 1988 to 1994. Each featurette ran about 25-40 minutes. This list covers all the Walt Disney Mini-Classics titles released from these date ranges.

Part of the Mini-Classics series (1988-1993)

May 1988

Due to the success of the Black Diamond Classics series, which launched in 1984, the Mini-Classics series was expected to be the big selling series from Disney at the time that it was launched, starting with a four-part offering topped off by “Mickey’s Magical World,” in honor of Mickey Mouse’s 60th birthday. The other three were “Mickey and the Beanstalk,” “Donald in Mathmagic Land” and “The Reluctant Dragon.” These first four titles do not have any promos at the end of the videos.

Catalog number	Title	Country of origin	Original year	Length	Version	MPAA rating	Film format	Tape count	Tape break placement (if applicable)	Color	Released	Note(s)
533	The Reluctant Dragon	USA	1941	28 minutes	Short version	NR	Academy	1	N/A	Color	May 31, 1988	This title was originally a short, but eventually became a segment of the 40-minute version of the same name that was released over 5 months later. Contains a bonus cartoon short, "Morris, the Midget Moose" (1950) at the end of the video. When the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video “Sorcerer Mickey” logo at the beginning of this release of the title starts to fade out, you can faintly hear the 1986 video dealer announcement. This was likely due to a print-mastering error. At the end of the video, there is a copyright notice dated from 1987, outsourced from the original 1987 standard release of this title.

This title is the only one to have this version of the promo. This title was the first one in the series to have a promo at the end of the video.

749	Bongo	USA	1947	36 minutes	1955 version	G	Academy	1	N/A	Color	May 9, 1989	This title is comprised of the 1955 Disneyland episode, "Jiminy Cricket Presents Bongo" and the 1947 film, "Fun and Fancy Free", in which the film itself was originally a segment of. This title was the last of the only two titles in the series to use the May 1989 promo with the slightly abridged logo theme music.

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, an insert booklet that comes with the "Bambi" video release advertises the titles released in this batch.

Copies of these releases prior to August 1989 use the 15-second freezing cut-out Mini-Classics logo variation, while copies printed after use the 2-second freezing fade-out variation.
