Trivia[]
- The 1990, 1998, 1999, and 2006 home video releases use the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo.
- The 1990 release was recalled due to one of the towers looking suggestive.
- Beginning with the 2013 DVD/Blu-ray and 2019 DVD/Blu-ray releases, the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo was replaced by the 2011 variant of the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo, which reads just Disney.
