Prior to when The Little Mermaid came to theaters in 1989 starting the Disney Renaissance, the company would only release Walt-era untouchables that had the most recent reissues with lower box office. Snow White as of it's 1987 reissue, grossed $143.2 million domestically so far during it's lifetime. Cindrella on the other hand grossed only $93.1 million domestically. The latter also has less worldwide box office prompting it to be released onto video in 1988. They avoiding releasing The Aristocats because it's a post-Walt era film and all it's releases were successful.

Prior to when Pinocchio was released onto VHS in 1985, Robin Hood was released onto video in 1984 because the 1982 release was a flop. The only reason they released The Sword In The Stone onto video in 1986 for the first time is it's the lowest grossing untouchable.
