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 And much of the information I find on the web is either outdated or inaccurate.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. |

== Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day and three other WTP featurettes == |
|||
Only the first three WTP featurettes were released on video as stand-alone releases in the Wonderland Sale promotion, headlined by the Classics video release of "Alice in Wonderland" on May 28, 1986. "Blustery Day" got a stand-alone video release on May 19, 1987 in the Goofy Price promotion, headlined by the second Disney's Sing-Along Songs episode, "Heigh-Ho." |
|||
The Walt Disney Mini-Classics series was launched on May 31, 1988, and then all four WTP featurettes debuted in the line on September 28, 1989, coinciding with the video release of "Bambi" in the Walt Disney Black Diamond (aka "The Classics") series. |

== The Walt Disney Company's history with K-Mart Corporation == |
|||
Between 1988 and 1992, Handleman Company, a now-defunct rack-jobbing and music company based in Troy, Michigan, serviced K-Mart Corporation with home video products distributed by Buena Vista Home Video. Since 1992, Buena Vista Home Video products have displayed in special Disney sections separate from the sections serviced by Handleman Company, whereas Handleman continued to operate the rest of K-Mart's video business. K-Mart eventually started selling licensed Disney merchandise. [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.49|69.85.235.49]] 19:18, 27 October 2022 (UTC) |

== Walt Disney Records - Read-Alongs == |
|||
In 1965, Walt Disney Records (then known as Disneyland Records) introduced their own line of book-and-audio read-along albums. The initial read-along albums released at this time included '''Sleeping Beauty''', '''Mary Poppins''', '''Three Little Pigs''', '''Peter Pan''', '''101 Dalmatians''', '''Alice in Wonderland''', '''Cinderella''' and '''Lady and the Tramp''', followed in 1966 by '''Bambi''', '''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs''', '''Pinocchio''', '''Mother Goose Rhymes''', '''Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree''' and '''The Seven Dwarfs and Their Diamond Mine'''. Around 1971, Disneyland Records changed its name to Disneyland/Vista Records and in 1987, the label changed its name again to Disneyland/Vista Records & Tapes. |
|||
By 1987, read-along albums were no longer in print on vinyl record and in the fall of 1988, Disneyland/Vista Records & Tapes changed its name yet again to Walt Disney Records. The Oliver & Company OST was the last album that Walt Disney Records released on vinyl record as the label, alongside its subsidiaries (including Buena Vista Records), began releasing their albums on audio CD at the time. They still released their albums on audio cassette, however. But for some reason, they didn't update the "list of other read-along titles" covers and back covers of their read-alongs until around mid-1990, e.g. '''Oliver & Company''' read-along was originally released around early 1989 and '''The Little Mermaid''' read-along was originally released around early 1990 but the "list of other read-along titles" cover and back cover of both read-alongs' original releases still mention Disneyland/Vista Records & Tapes. |

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)
