...but a more mysterious orange castle against a spooky dark background:

And let's not forget the Pizar rendered Sleeping Beauty castle for Toy Story etc!

Also, as discussed in this old thread, they have jazzed up the logo depending on some of the movies...
Yeah I miss this logo:

I also liked when they "jazzed" it up like in Inspector Gadget, Lilo and Stitch and Atlantis because I liked how it it fit the theme of the movie. I also like the Disney/PIXAR logo.

I don't like this logo:

It just isn't as colorful as the old one.

Sorry if I'm getting off-topic!

Close. I believe Mulan was it's last appearance with the music and all. Tarzan has the blue opening but it blends in later on.
Mulan's got the blue opening, but there's no "When You Wish Upon a Star" in the background. It already starts playing the opening theme.

Oh, I must've gotten my movies crossed. :P
I really like these custom titles. The blue screen reminds me of the "golden age" of Disney in the 90s. Custom ones are the "new" Disney. That's the way I see it.

I actually like the newer logo. It's dark and the colors go very well together. Looks like a sunset.

Hi

Also Rob Roy The Highland Rogue, had the RKO opening.

That was a 50's Disney Classic with Richard Todd and Glynis Johns.

A truly great lost Disney film.

Well, for the next 20 years or so (It's been that long allready...) it's going to make me think of one thing everytime I see a disney film:

Micheal.

As for the Jazzed Up, I mean maybe using a traditional version of the one used for Pixar films, with the same colors.
