Why this release never happened at all, I have absolutely no idea.

== You Will Not Believe What I Bought Today ==
Almost an hour ago, I’ve bought the 1991 VHS of "The Reluctant Dragon (Short Version)." It was factory sealed when I got it (I believe), then I opened it, and it had two inserts inside - a light blue video booklet advertising "The Magic Years" and miscellaneous releases, and a business reply mail card with the red text on it, and "Walt Disney CARTOONS" on the back.
The tape itself still uses the 1988 Betamax style sticker label. However, underneath the label appears to be another sticker label that appears to have already been torn off. It looks like someone accidentally put the wrong label, before realizing what the tape actually was.
My copy was duplicated at Technicolor Videocassette, like most Disney tapes were, and has two dates on the spine — the manufacture date in dark ink on the bottom half of mine is March 27, 1992 (with a time code next to it reading 1802, implying 06:02 PM), while the grey ink print date on the top half is March 31, 1992.
So far I’ve only checked the opening to my copy, and it is indeed the 1991 VHS re-issue. Opened with the Goudy Old Style red orange warnings, but after that, there’s no 1986 Sorcerer Mickey WDHV logo; it goes straight to the 1988 Mini-Classics logo, and then the short itself starts. I might check the closing either tomorrow or in a couple of hours.
Does anyone else have this version of the 1991 VHS reissue with the 1988 oversized Beta sticker label? Thank you in advance.

UPDATE: Checked the closing yesterday after a few hours, and it has the 1991 Mini-Classics promo and a 1991 copyright notice at the end. [[Special:Contributions/68.35.208.19|68.35.208.19]] 12:39, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
