Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection (Walt Disney Coleccion Maestra in Spanish) is a line of videos released by Walt Disney Home Video from 1994 to 1999. The Spanish counterparts began selling in 1995.
It was a follow-up to Walt Disney Classics, Disney's animated features video line from the mid 1980s and the early 1990s.
[edit] First 10 releases
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first motion picture released in the Masterpiece collection. Pre-September prints used Roy E. Disney's introduction and the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo. Post-September prints used either Roy E. Disney's introduction and the Masterpiece logo or the Masterpiece logo and a preview for The Brave Little Toaster. The latter format was used on pre-March prints of the next 9 Disney Masterpieces. Copies made from March 1995 to November 26, 1995 used the Masterpiece logo, a Masterpiece Collection promo, the preview for The Brave Little Toaster, and a promo for the Walt Disney Family Film Collection. Then, from November 27, 1995 to Spring 1998, the old Masterpiece promo was updated. Then Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Three Caballeros, and So Dear to My Heart were dropped from print, forcing the format to be dramatically changed: the 6 remaining titles out of the original 10 now used the 1992 Walt Disney Home Video logo, a new promo for the Masterpiece Collection, and previews for Melody Time, The Spirit of Mickey, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, and Kiki's Delivery Service. For Pocahontas, pre-February prints used the 1989 Walt Disney Classics logo (as a video editing error), while post-February prints used the standard Masterpiece logo.
