Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection

Background: The Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection was started in 2000 to release films, such as ones that never made it to the Masterpiece Collection like Make Mine Music, Saludos Amigos and The Rescuers Down Under. They finished in 2001. In Australia, it was known as the Walt Disney Collection.

Nicknames: "Disney Christmas", "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", "Too Much Gold"

Logo: On a blue background filled with gold glitter effects, the gold words "WALT DiSNEY", in the corporate font, are seen. Below the words is a gold ribbon with the red words "GOLD COLLECTION", separated by a red (gold outlined) circle with the Disney castle and the word "CLASSIC" below, both etched in gold. The logo "shines", with a line sweep on the ribbon, beveled shining on the"WALT DiSNEY" text, and the glitter sparkling like stars.

FX/SFX: The glitter, the "shining".

Music/Sounds: Same as Walt Disney Home Video’s 4th logo.

Availability: Very rare; it was only used for a year, and only on some VHS releases such as Toy Story, Mulan, Alice in Wonderland, A Bug's Life and Robin Hood, among others. Nearly all Gold Classic Collection DVDs (and other VHS releases in the line) used the 1991-2001 WDHV logo instead of this one, including releases still in print. Australian releases do not use this logo, they just use the 2001 Walt Disney Home Entertainment Logo or the 1995 Disney Videos logo.

Editor's Notes: Compared to the Classics, Mini Classics and Masterpiece Collection logos, this is considered to be the weakest of the four, due to not having much in animation beyond a lot of shining, and reusing the 1991 WDHV theme when the other three logos have their own compositions.
