*SEALED* NEW* RARE *1985* Walt Disney* Dumbo Black Diamond Classic VHS

Description

One facet of Disney’s home video history seems to be garnering an increasing amount of attention - the first release of their animated feature films to VHS format in the U.S., under a release type named “The Classics.” These videos, packaged in clamshell cases and sporting a uniform style (a rare thing amongst Disney DVDs today), are the elusive “Black Diamonds” (or BDs) referred to among Disney fans, so named because of the black diamond-shaped “Classics” logo on the spine of the case. Many of them are also distinguished by the “peel-away” bottom corner that proudly proclaimed that these films were “The Original Animated Classic!” Starting with Dumbo, the “Classics” collection spanned 18 titles from about 1988 to 1993 - with Aladdin as the last video to ever be released under the “Classics” logo. These videos have a unique place in Disney history, as they turned a whole new generation on to the vast library of quality films. Instead of waiting for a theatrical re-release, as was custom, one could now choose from any number of films and view them as many times as they wished at home. The tapes now have a collector’s value and should be be rightfully regarded as a landmark in Disney’s film history.
The Black Diamond covers are often commended by fans for their uniform style; they also had some of the best art created for Disney home video.
This BLUE chip collectible is SEALED and has been stored in a smoke free environment.
These tapes are only RISING in value. Dont miss out.
