before the film starts?

I know it's a dumb question but I love that castle (with the blue background) and was just wondering why not all the films have it

They just havent added it to many of the films that were released early on. I wonder what was the first movie to have it? I've always wanted to know that.

Yeah, I like seeing the Disneyland Castle before Disney films to. There is something missing without it.

The first Disney movie to have the "Walt Disney Pictures" logo was "The Black Cauldron" in 1985. I think they've only added the castle to the films that got re-released to theaters since that year. That's why you don't see the logo in all Disney features!

ok let's start from the beginning when Mr Eisner came to disney he discarted Walt Disney production and changed it to Walt Disney Pictures this was in the 1980's so any movie 85-present has the logo and pictures that were re-released in theaters like older stuff carry the logo too like sleeping beauty, old yeller, and so forth....... the first disney animated movie that first carried this was the Black Cauldron as for live action Return to OZ was the first

I hope The Lion King DVD has the familiar blue opening logo. The IMAX release re-did it with the black and orange/yellow one, like before Dinosaur. Since the DVD just has the IMAX cut, it's probably that.

It's only the orange/yellow logo.

The dedication for Frank Wells was moved to end when I played the Special Edition (which is BTW the default). On the Theatrical, it's at the start (where it should be!)

Anyone remember the oldschool vhs sequences before the feature, where you'd see a linear shillouette of mickey mouse which would sort of come together and expand on the screen while a theme played?

The Rescuers has the castle, right?

Yeah, but it was added for the rerelease.

fltp says this about the opening Logo on the Lion King DVD:

"Another thing that is different is the Disney Opening Logo, which was changed from the blue one to the golden one (the same as in Dinosaur)"

Does The Jungle Book DVD have the castle?

Yes

Thanks

I used to think that that was the disney logo... but it's not! it's the Buena Vista logo!!

why hasn't anyone else noticed this besides me?

The castle is the "Walt Disney Pictures" logo.

but doesn't it say like right under the logo "Buena Vista"?

Maybe sometimes...but definitely not before the films. Look at DVDisney's avatar:

In Europe (and perhaps elsewhere) the castle logo is used on a holographic sticker to 'authenticate' non-pirate DVDs from Disney's non-Disney studios (such as Miramax and Hollywood Pictures). In this case the castle is shown with BVHE in the background and no Disney logo. That's probably where Kuzco's confusion is coming form.

Oddly, for the Disney films, they don't use this hologram, but one of a Fantasia Mickey Mouse.

I like the blue castle logo, most of all i like the music it makes magical!
