Disney DVD/Summary

Disney DVD
===1st Logo (October 9, 2001-August 28, 2007; November 23, 2010)===

Nicknames : "CGI Tinkerbell", "Pure Digital Magic"

Logo : On a night-sky background, a spark shoots at the middle of the screen, forming a "D". It comes again forming a "V" this time, next to the "D" and for the third time forming another "D". A curved line is drawn, and "DiSNEY", in its corporate font, goes on top of "DVD". The spark goes across the bottom, forming "Pure Digital Magic" (in the native language of the country in which it was released), and that spark appears to be a CGI Tinkerbell, who smiles at us and takes off, leaving a trail of fairy dust that dissolves a moment later.

FX/SFX : All the animation in this logo.

Music/Sounds : A whimsical string/flageolet theme, with a few "swoops" when the sparks fly in.

Availability : Seen on pre-2006 Disney DVD releases, starting with the Platinum Edition DVD of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Several of them are still in print. The last Disney movie on DVD to use this logo was Cinderella: Platinum Edition. This logo made it's final known appearance Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Treat DVD, released on August 28, 2007. The logo makes a surprise appearance on the Baby Einstein Discovery Kits, which were released on November 23, 2010.

Scare Factor : None to minimal. This is definitely low for first-time viewers because of the swooping sound, but this is one of the best DVD logos ever.

===2nd Logo (October 18, 2005-2014; 2015 )=== Nicknames : Logo : Starts with the "D" in "DiSNEY" being formed, uncomfortably close to the screen. A spark flies by in tune with the music. When the "DiSNEY" text is formed, it flies out, and "DVD" does so as well, one letter at a time. An explosion of pixie dust forms an arc around the text, completing the logo. More pixie dust forms a white bar with the text "Movies, Magic & More" (same as above in the native language of the country in which it was released). Tinkerbell flies up to the screen momentarily before exiting (reused from the 2001 logo). Starting in 2007, the logo was given an enhanced look, and Tinkerbell is in traditional-style 2D animation.
 * 2005-2007: "CGI Tinkerbell Redux"
 * 2007- : "Classic Tinkerbell"

FX/SFX : All the animation in the logo.

Cheesy Factor : The sparks in the 2005 variant look superimposed on the logo, and CGI Tinkerbell oddly does not fit with this logo very well. Thankfully, this was fixed with the 2007 variant--the 2D animation combines very well with this logo.

Music/Sounds : Same as the previous logo, with more whooshing sounds added when the "DVD" letters fly in.

Availability : Current. It first appeared on the Special Edition DVD of Tarzan. It can be seen on any Disney DVD made since 2005-14 such as Herbie: Fully Loaded, Chicken Little, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Wild, Cars, Underdog, WALL-E, Up, and Tinker Bell, among others.

Scare Factor : None; this is a very beautiful logo.
