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.

(January 11, 2000-March 20, 2001)
Nicknames : "Disney Christmas", "It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas", "Boring Logo Redux", "Too Much Gold"

Logo : On a blue background filled with gold glitter effects, the gold words "W ALT D iSNEY ", 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, and A Bug's Life, 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.

Editor's Notes : Same as the 1991-2001 Walt Disney Home Video logo at the time, but only about 10x as shiny as it
