== Winnie-the-Pooh Titles with Proof of Purchase Tab Label ==
In order for the VHS releases of the four WTP featurettes to have the generic Helvetica font Proof of Purchase tab-label (or the Times font on "The Blustery Day"), what is the earliest print date to do so?
 
I saw a factory-sealed copy of "The Honey Tree", with the Proof of Purchase tab label. The barcode sticker states it shipped May 1, 1991. I have proof [https://www.ebay.com/p/3144523 here].
 
So, what would be the earliest print date for a Winnie The Pooh featurette Mini-Classics tape to have the generic Helvetica-font Proof-of-Purchase tab label? [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.46|69.85.235.46]] 18:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 
== Once Upon a Mouse ==
If they ever released the documentary film, ''Once Upon a Mouse'' (1981) on VHS in North America, it would probably have been released in this series, and the release date would probably have been September 20, 1991, the same date when ''The Rescuers Down Under'' came out on home video in the Black Diamond Classics series. And the contents would probably go like this:
 
Opening:
# Red-orange warning screens (1984-1991)
# Walt Disney Home Video logo (1986-2001) ("Sorcerer Mickey")
# Walt Disney Mini-Classics logo (1988-1993)
# Buena Vista Distribution Company logo (1979-1984)
 
Closing:
# Walt Disney Home Video logo (1986-2001) (cut-shortened, with Brian Cummings saying, "Now on Walt Disney Home Video.")
# The Rescuers Down Under video preview
 
The tape itself would probably have either a horizontal ink-label or a vertical sticker-label, with the Mini-Classics logo and the Sorcerer Mickey next to the WDHV logo on the label, and there would probably be three different versions of the print master.
 
Version A would probably be copies printed before June 1991 with the second warning screen (the Licensed for Private Home Exhibition Only screen) being an outlined text variant, in which the text doesn’t fade in until after the background itself does.
 
Version B would probably be copies printed between June-August 1991 with the regular variant of the red-orange warning screens.
 
Version C would probably be copies printed after August 1991 with the Goudy Old Style font variant of the red-orange warning screens.
 
Why this release never happened at all, I have absolutely no idea.

Disney Halloween Mini-Classics[edit]

So I have just heard on Wikia/FANDOM's "Moviepedia" that some copies of the 1990 release of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" have the Disney Mini-Classics "Collect Them All!" promo/bumper at the end, rather than the Halloween Videos promo. However, considering that wikis are not always reliable sources, I'd like to know if this is real, or just a rumor, and (if it IS just a rumor) where the Moviepedia wiki derived this rumor from. 69.85.235.232 14:16, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
