Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection

The Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection (Walt Disney Coleccion Maestra in Spanish and Collection Chefs-d'œuvre de Walt Disney in French-Canadian) was a line of VHS tapes and Laserdiscs released by Walt Disney Home Video from 1994 to 1999. Similar to the Walt Disney Classics line that preceded it, it consisted mainly of Disney Animated Features, along with a few live-action/animation hybrid films. Spanish versions were also released.

Of note, the series featured the first home video releases of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Lion King, Pocahontas, The Aristocats, Oliver & Company, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Melody Time, The Black Cauldron, Mulan, and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

The series was followed by the Walt Disney Limited Issues DVDs in 1999 and the Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection VHS & DVDs in 2000.

Trivia

 * The video tapes of Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, Old Yeller, and early copies of the 60th Anniversary edition of Pinocchio contain the opening logo for the video line at the start, despite that those videos weren't part of the line. Pinocchio was most likely planned to be released in the Masterpiece Collection for fall 1999. A tape master was prepared, but was quickly aborted when the series ended; however, early copies of the 60th Anniversary edition still contained the early master with the Masterpiece Collection opening logo.
 * In the 1994 trailer for the video line, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Fox and the Hound are shown among the many clips shown, but a Masterpiece Collection VHS was never released for those films. It is possible that they were going to release a video for each of them, but were cancelled for unknown reasons.
 * Some tapes from 1994-1996 had the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo, but with the 1992 variation of the Walt Disney Classics music. The logo also shines twice on this variant.
 * Some tapes in this VHS series did not have the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo ident. These include The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians, However. The laserdisc had the WDMC logo and the THX logo.
 * Some tapes in the series were THX certified. Such tapes were advertised as "fully restored - limited edition" on either their VHS covers and/or their VHS trailers beforehand.
