Robin Hood Walt Disney Classic VHS Black Dimond Rare
Item History & Price
Classic Walt Disney Robin Hood, rare black diamond collection, VHS in very good condition!
The first release of their animated feature films to VHS format in the U.S., under a release type named “The Classics.” These videos, packaged in clamshell cases and sporting a uniform style (a rare thing amongst Disney DVDs today), are the elusive “Black Diamonds” referred to among Disney fans, so named because of the black diamond-shaped “Classics” logo on the spine of the ca...se. Many of them are also distinguished by the “peel-away” bottom corner that proudly proclaimed that these films were “The Original Animated Classic!” Starting with Dumbo, the “Classics” collection spanned 18 titles from about 1988 to 1993 - with Aladdin as the last video to ever be released under the “Classics” logo. These videos have a unique place in Disney history, as they turned a whole new generation on to the vast library of quality films. Instead of waiting for a theatrical re-release, as was custom, one could now choose from any number of films and view them as many times as they wished at home. Thus was the birth of the now-common Disney enthusiast! Though the tapes now have only a collector’s value, they should be be rightfully regarded as a landmark in Disney’s film history. A Great Movie for your family & our next Generation of Children should see the CLASSIC DISNEY MOVIES (BLACK DIAMOND CLASSIC)
