List of Walt Disney Mini-Classics video releases

Walt Disney Mini-Classics was a video series of Disney animated featurettes, which ran from 1988 to 1993 and strangely, 1995. Each featurette ran about 25-40 minutes. This list covers all the Walt Disney Mini-Classics titles released from these date ranges.

May 1988
Due to the success of the Black Diamond Classics series, which launched in 1984, the Mini-Classics series was expected to be the big selling series from Disney at the time that it was launched, starting with a four-part offering topped off by “Mickey’s Magical World,” in honor of Mickey Mouse’s 60th birthday. The other three were “Mickey and the Beanstalk,” “Donald in Mathmagic Land” and “The Reluctant Dragon.” These first four titles do not have any promos at the end of the videos.

September 1989
Starting in this month of 1989, the Winnie the Pooh featurettes on home video were released in the series, coinciding with the video release of "Bambi". In fact, an insert booklet that comes with the "Bambi" video release advertises the titles released in this batch.

Copies of these releases prior to August 1989 use the 15-second freezing cut-out Mini-Classics logo variation, while copies printed after use the 2-second freezing fade-out variation.

March 1991
The Winnie the Pooh featurettes in this series were being re-issued at this time with Proof of Purchase tab labels printed below the back covers in very strange text fonts. These re-issues coincided with the video release of the new Sing-Along Songs program, I Love to Laugh.

October 1992
Pre-May 1989 releases were re-issued at this time with Proof of Purchase tab labels in very strange text fonts printed below the back covers. On these re-issues, the Mini-Classics logo is omitted from the front tape label if it is a horizontal ink-label, also applying to select releases that already had Proof of Purchase tab labels to begin with, which excludes "Mickey's Christmas Carol," and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." In addition to the ink-label differences, there would be no Sorcerer Mickey placement template on the label. These particular re-issues coincided with Disney's "A Beauty of a Gift" promotion.

October 1995
"The Small One" was re-issued in this month of 1995 as a standard-wave title with a new tape label to coincide with the Masterpiece Collection video release of "Cinderella".
