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 1994. Each featurette ran about 25-40 minutes. This list covers all the Walt Disney Mini-Classics titles released from this date range.

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 an offer of four titles 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.

May 1989
The first ISBN codes of the series, placed above the UPC on the right spine of the case, appeared during this time.

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 15, 1989 use the 15-second freezing cut-out Mini-Classics logo variation, while copies printed after use the 2-second freezing fade-out variation.

September 1990
These releases roughly coincided with the Classics video release of Peter Pan.

November 1992
On these re-issues, the Mini-Classics logo is omitted from the front tape label if it is a horizontal ink-label. In addition to the ink-label differences, there would be no Sorcerer Mickey placement template on the label.

April 1993
These re-issues were advertised at the end of the new Sing-Along Songs program, Friend Like Me.

September 1993
These re-issues use slightly updated tape labels, still in horizontal ink, where the "Disney's" header is placed above the Walt Disney Home Video logo on the label, and the Sorcerer Mickey placement template next to the logo returns on the label for these re-issues.
