Now, I don't like to complain, but when it comes to Disney and home media, they have an outrageous library of titles - I mean, take a look at DisneyVHSMuseum's VHS/Beta [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8-Cg9jOy8c collection]. Lately, I've been doing much of the work on this page myself, and I can't do it alone. And much of the information I find on the web is either outdated or inaccurate. Perhaps if someone could help contribute this page now and then. |

:[[User:MrServoRetro|@MrServoRetro]]: Apparently, there also exists early-mid 2000s later pressings of the 1994 live-action “The Jungle Book”. Some from that date range originally shipped to Wal-Mart stores, but are now on eBay. DisneyVHSMuseum has a 2003 pressing of that one with the blue tape guard, printed on April 9th of that year, and it still uses the same print master contents as the original 1995 VHS release. From what I have seen, some factory sealed copies on eBay have shipped dates of May, June or September 2003, on their price stickers. [https://youtu.be/mQNNKDb5HS0 This video] and [https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rudyard-Kiplings-The-Jungle-Book-2002-NEW-FACTORY-SEALED-VHS-Tape-Movie-/303550721830?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 this eBay link] are the proof.

== Possible rarity of a Disney tape I got today == |
|||
So today, I got the 1992 VHS release of “The Great Mouse Detective” (1986), which I was supposed to get for my 14th birthday on Friday. It was factory sealed and had a Toys R Us sticker when I got it, but now it’s opened. My copy is actually the 11-20-1992 re-issue, with the regular Proof of Purchase tab label above the back cover (which I had removed when opening the tape). (The original 07-19-1992 issue did not have any Proof of Purchase tab labels, and the 10-18-1992 re-issue had a prototype variation just like Beauty and the Beast had). When I opened the clam shell case, there were no inserts or anything, just the tape inside. On the bottom side portion of the cassette on my copy, the print date code reads 012394-E, meaning my copy was printed on January 23, 1994. What the letter E means or stands for — I’m assuming it’s just some sort of shift code prefix. |

I checked the opening to my copy, and it still has the theatrical preview for “Aladdin” (1992) at the beginning of it, as well as the April-July 1992 clean Walt Disney “Black Diamond” Classics logo. I might check the closing when I get back home in a few days (as of this writing, I am at one of my grandmothers’ house). |

Based on the print date on my copy, is my copy a rare copy of the tape? [[Special:Contributions/74.187.193.126|74.187.193.126]] 18:51, 19 April 2022 (UTC) |

VHS Tapes with Record Tabs Intact[edit]
Were there any legitimate VHS copies of Disney/Buena Vista releases where the record tab was left intact by accident? And if so, was this usually the case with early releases? The only VHS copies of Disney/Buena Vista releases that I've seen with record tabs left intact were bootlegs. 69.85.235.224 13:53, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
