List of Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection video releases

This list covers all the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection titles released from 1994 to 1999, as well as prototype and similar releases.

Pre-Masterpiece Collection releases (1991, 1993)
These releases advertise the films themselves as "Masterpiece" films, since they are presumably special releases, and were released in the Classics (aka "Black Diamond") line.

October 1994
This batch of releases opens with the 1986 WDHV "Sorcerer Mickey" logo on copies prior to August 25, 1994. Copies printed after August 25, 1994 open with the Masterpiece Collection logo.

Excluding Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, these releases open with the blue text "Now Available on Videocassette" screen, a video trailer for The Brave Little Toaster, and the lilac "Feature Presentation" screen, and the earliest copies of these were printed on July 31, 1994.

March 1995
The Lion King was released on home video for the first time as part of the Masterpiece Collection. Although this particular title is advertised in the 1995 update of the Masterpiece Collection trailer, and has the logo on its cover artwork, the logo doesn't appear at all on the tape itself - not on the tape label, nor on-screen.

Also released this month were re-issues of the original batch of Masterpiece Collection titles, with the exception of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", with updated print masters. These print masters use the Flashbang bumpers and include an updated video trailer for the Masterpiece Collection with footage from The Lion King, followed by video trailers for The Brave Little Toaster and the Family Film Collection.

February 1996
Along with the video debut of Pocahontas, the initial batch of Masterpiece Collection titles is reissued again. Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Three Caballeros, and So Dear to My Heart never received updated masters following this wave.

Curiously, this batch of reissues features the bass-heavy rendition of the Walt Disney Classics theme playing over the Masterpiece Collection logo. They otherwise open with an updated trailer for the Masterpiece Collection featuring footage from Cinderella, a trailer for the Family Film Collection, and a trailer for the then-upcoming release of Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

April 1996
To further streamline the opening trailers on their releases, high-profile Disney releases (including Masterpiece Collection titles) adapt "Walt Disney Company Intro" bumpers that transition between different sets of trailers. Releases prior to this had no bumpers whatsoever preceding each set of trailers.

February 1997
Disney introduced THX-certified audio & video to some of their releases starting with the 1997 video release of Bambi. Bambi was also the first release in the Masterpiece Collection to include a behind-the-scenes documentary at the end of the video following the film.

July 1997
Further streamlining their opening trailers, Disney introduces the "Timeless Classics" trailer template to advertise all their upcoming high-profile releases in a single trailer. Pete's Dragon was also given an updated master at this time, though the other Masterpiece Collection titles would have to wait until 1998 for their updated masters.

March 1998
Along with two new releases, six older Masterpiece Collection titles received updated print masters this month.

Unless otherwise noted, these re-releases of the titles open with the 1998 trailer for the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection and video trailers for Melody Time, The Spirit of Mickey, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, and Kiki's Delivery Service (using the original Buena Vista Home Video logo at the start).

The lilac "Feature Presentation" screen was scrapped at this point, and the Flashbang version of the bumper was used in its place.

January 1999
The Flashbang "Feature Presentation" screen was scrapped, and replaced with the original version of the lilac "Feature Presentation" screen for the majority of this year's Masterpiece Collection releases.

March 1999
Four Masterpiece Collection titles saw their final updated masters this month. These masters simply open with the updated, 1999 video trailer for the Masterpiece Collection and a video trailer for Madeline: Lost in Paris.

July 1999
Alice in Wonderland and Robin Hood received additional re-releases this month, with updated case cover artwork and print masters. The cover artwork on both releases would later be re-used for their Gold Classic Collection counterparts. Both releases open with video trailers for Madeline: Lost in Paris, The Great Mouse Detective, Belle's Tales of Friendship, and Hercules: Zero to Hero.
