:Another thing I have heard before is that Rankin/Bass' "The Hobbit" (part of the post-1974 Rankin/Bass library when Rankin/Bass was a division of Telepictures Corporation which later merged with Lorimar Productions to form Lorimar-Telepictures in 1986 and absorbed into Warner Bros. in 1989) was released by numerous PD-based labels/distributors, such as Peter Pan Industries (sometime in the 1990s), and MNTEX Entertainment in the early 1990s (the latter which was distributed at the time by Video Treasures). On the print that the MNTEX release used, the white looked more pinkish (likely due to the deterioration of the film print as a result of possible usage of cheap low-cost film stock).

:Funny enough, I used to own a copy of a 1985 VHS release of Frank Capra's "Prelude to War" from Viking Entertainment's Viking Video Classics label. It was packaged in the 1986 cover and had the 1987-89 "label-it-yourself" sticker label (with Viking Entertainment's address on the bottom) on the front/face of the cassette shell. It was duplicated in LP mode, it did not have any printings on the bottom/spine of the cassette shell and it appeared to be recycled off of an SP mode copy of the Happy Face "Holiday Classics Volume 1" VHS from 1988; I could tell only because at the end of the tape, just as the video cuts to a fullscreen static screen, the screen segues into the last few seconds of "Santa's Surprise" from the aforementioned tape. I bought this tape from eBay back in October 2022 and I no longer have it anymore after I've donated it at the end of last month.

Somehow, whatever plant the tape was duplicated at managed to peel the old label off before inserting a new one (I could tell because I saw nothing underneath the label).
