How can you tell if your copy of that tape is the 1988 one? Unless your copy is Canadian, is there a print date somewhere on the tape? [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:C0C6:2BA0:2F9E:ABBA|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:C0C6:2BA0:2F9E:ABBA]] 11:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

:That's easy. First of all, if you look at the bottom of the back of any Disney video case, you'll find numbering in brackets: The first set of numbers on the left is the issue's catalog number. The last number on the right indicates the number of times released on video.

:So, to answer your question, "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" was first issued on October 14, 1986, so the numbering would read (480-1). For the May 1987 re-issue, it would read (480-2). And for the October 1987 re-issue, it's (480-3).

:And yes, my 1988 copy (480-4) is Canadian, and there's no blue lines on the tape label. It also uses the same master from its original 1986 issue.
