PLEASE NOTE - 0:36 to 1:22 has had it's original audio replaced Skip to 1:22 to bypass replaced audio Due to a copyright claim, I've had to replace the music for 45 seconds of the video. Because the replacing system KZbin offers is incredibly basic, it overlays any audio, not just music. So my usual opening 'Hello and welcome...' etc, had to go. This was the only way in which I could keep the video up and fully visible without completely deleting and re-uploading, which was the last thing I wanted to do. Hope you all understand. Other episodes of the Ident Review have been affected in a similar way, so any video that has this as the pinned comment will have replaced audio, and the timestamp as above from where you can enjoy the episode as intended

Hey, this is the first time you do an ident review of a home video division of a movie company. The Walt Disney Home Video's logos are great, especially the ones from the 1980s, such as "Sorcerer Mickey" (my most favourite ident from this video). And... sigh, I agree, the ident at 6:29 is the weakest of what we've seen so far, due to it having just the company logo and some of the most annoying synthesizers ever.

[@shadicTPZ]

I actually kinda grew up the stars ident, although I only found it on the Chicken Little DVD. Yeah, of all movies. But I remember Disney DVD with Tinkerbell ident.

[@themoon7435]

Do you remember the first castle ident? It wasn't the one he showed, but it was a white castle in a blue background.

[@adultmoshifan87]

Sorcerer Mickey will always be my favorite! There were also “Black Diamond” variants of Sorceror Mickey used in the US, that variant of the blocks ident wasn’t used on VHS here in the UK, we had our own variant with less animation, a lower framerate and a purple background. The 2001 ident also had a black background variant for live action releases!

[@SL-mt2uu]

Mom: Why don't you play with the neighbours kids The neighbours kid: 1:53

[@diberhaze]

somehow the golden logo is the most nostalgic for me

[@themoon7435]

I was born in 2002 and the Golden is the most nostalgic for me too, that one, Stars, and there was one he hasn't included but it was similar to Castle but blue and white, (maybe you remember it?) and Blocks. Typing this when Blocks came on lmao and I did not remember this thing at all but wow the nostalgia!

[@KenzieRetro]

i loved sorcerer mickey. the blocks ident gave me nightmares as a kid and still does to this day

[@ScoutSunset]

The Disney DVD logos really grinded my gears for being too bombastic for my liking. Btw, about that Castle logo from 2006 that you were displeased on? Well it actually was the end of a sequence showcasing a reel of many Disney films and how it's magical and delighting, accompanied with that bombastic tune. It was prominent throughout many Disney DVDs back then, and I suggest you give it a watch!

[@kylebulger4240]

Grew up with a majority of these Adam is truly one of the nostalgia trips of youtube

[@Feenixfire90GamingTFG]

Fun fact: The Disney Castle ident uses the overture/theme from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. It is meant to be part of a sizzle reel that shows all the disney films up to I think 2002 (?) which played the full theme of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. You're welcome. EDIT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2seGCVpd9mb7M This is the reel in question.

[@PipimiOden]

I know it was shown on the disney home video releases in the 2010s! At least in the US

[@Sammeep02]

I was obsessed with the Sorcerer Mickey logos and the Neon Mickey when I was six, and that love took some form until I was nine or ten. I would always watch them on KZbin as well as on the large collection of VHS in the garage. Now at 18 it's fun to watch those logos and remember my childhood.:)

[@KRPTV]

I used to think the 'Y' in the Disney logo was a 'P', so for many years I thought it was Disnep!😀😀😀

[@DarnelWolf]

I don’t blame you lol

[@1Soniccool]

Walt Disney Home Video/ Home Entertainment or depending on what country you live in, it’s still around releasing movies on DVD, Blu Ray, and digital. International Disney used the Disney Videos the name for other countries. But when Disney entered into the DVD the name changed into Walt Disney Home Entertainment since the VHS was heading out the door. Then when the Blu Ray was made Disney decided to use the format but HDDVD was used until it was discontinued. So Disney still use DVD and Blu Ray because DVD is still being made because if anyone doesn’t have a Blu Ray player but still have a DVD player can play it.

[@natasha8966]

They still used sorcerer mickey idents in the earlier 90s as my beauty’s and the beast had it.

[@NathanSimpsonnathanisbeast]

Disney did have a extended version of their Castle ident from *2006* featuring clips from 2000s Disney Movies and TV Shows (including the yet to be aired at that time in England “Micky Mouse Clubhouse” and Winnie the Pooh’s All CGI Series (the 2008 one!!!))

[@bigmatthawk18]

Get a bit of nostalgia from the blocks, stars and DVD idents the memories I had as a kid about to watch something from Disney. Weren't too bothered about the idents but just watching them back helps me reminisce about the good times I had watching the films and TV show they preceded watching on DVD and VHS back in the day.

[@Thomanory]

The blocks one took me back!

[@dominewimbury2039]

Thankfully all the Disney videos me and my sister had had 1986 Sorcerer at the start of them. Brilliant

[@themightyboush]

I used to be scared of Sorcerer Mickey (ridiculous, I know) when I was a kid. Maybe it was the black background, the completely still Mickey, the blood red text on the logo and that droning tuba sound at the beginning. I was more in favour of the Disney Videos one, because I found it a much calmer watch. But now, whenever I see Sorcerer Mickey, I can see how it was such a favourite for many. The tune is catchy (I can tolerate the tuba) and the animation is brilliant. I still have a soft spot for the Disney Videos one, although the animation on the UK variant with the purple background and without the blocks, which is the one I saw most, doesn't hold up that well. Also, I believe the 1981 logo was used primarily in international territories, such as here in the UK (although according to CLG Wiki, Neon was used on the earliest UK releases in late '81). The US would continue to use Neon until Sorcerer came along in '86.

[@megamanx1800]

To be honest, I'm still scared of it! Not as much when I was young but it still scares me when I have the sound on and Mainly when Sorcerer Mickey appears. Yeah I know it's ridiculous but at least I like Sorcerer Mickey as a character! Why haven't they made an animated series about Sorcerer Mickey at least, during the Disney Afternoon?

[@88Fever]

Maybe because the colors of red and black And the music. It’s just so, Bombastic

[@wrestletube1]

No it isn't that is actually logical. You probably have watched the rare over volumed on Hi-Fi version on that New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode on UK based VHS with the more blood red and the volume set on the recording set too loud so the welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, blink noise and the tune itself having popping distorting sound on the recording of the logo on it. I haven't once seen the distorted volume logo on KZbin but probably not many had Hi-Fi for their logo captures to capture the volume of the thing and the Blood Red logo was only ever posted on here with normal volume music not with the pops I remember from New Adventures Pooh TV version videos but it was going into original trumpets logo distortion territory.

[@de-fault_de-fault]

That wireframe (or sure, "Neon") Mickey was on a few of my childhood VHS tapes, and was indeed nightmare fuel for me as a preschooler. For reference, I'm about to be 37. I didn't have a lot of Disney movies on tape, but I did have a number of compilations of theatrical shorts, each focused on one character, e.g. "Here's Donald!" or "Here's Goofy!", some compilations of DuckTales and Rescue Rangers episodes, and some of the Winnie the Pooh TV specials. The Pooh ones seem the most likely culprit for having the Neon Mickey intro since they were probably already mastered for laserdisc before coming to VHS, but I vaguely remember some of the theatrical shorts volumes having it, too. The DuckTales and Rescue Rangers tapes definitely had the sorcerer one...to this day if I play any Disney content for my daughter I rather obnoxiously hum that tune over whatever Disney ident it comes with.

[@florgeysteve]

The Sorcerer Mickey Walt Disney Home Video logo is the one that gave me nightmares. I always had to fast forward past those parts it freaked me out.

[@megamanx1800]

Glad I'm not the only one!

[@ms.antithesis]

The Disney dvd logo is so nostalgic.

[@wrestletube1]

It's a shame that only Walt Disney and BBC had a video episode as there was about a good 25/30 years in the medium before the DVD you grown up with straight away probably not knowing much about VHS much until online came out. Maybe for the big 125, 150, 175, 200 more VHS logos will be delved into by the ultimate logo fan of The Ident Review.

[@rizmid]

Btw the disco Disney version as you have described in your video is a short version of the anthology TV series which used to air during that period on CBS television! Since the full version was only showed in US. International audience got a glimpsed of it through their VHS releases anywhere in the world! And that's the PAL version of a NTFS video hence the speed up in music.

[@kohan64studios]

The blocks ident was part of my Childhood. When I put toy story and bugs life on vhs I see it

[@jjandkaz2955]

The original Disney bluray one was simple, but packed a punch

[@wrestletube1]

Name one kid in the 80s who hasn't grown up with this logo.

[@robonaught]

I could have sworn on one Disney VHS I had (I cannot remember which one i'm afraid) it has Sorcerer Mickey but the letters being written were blue instead of red and when they were complete they turned gold. Maybe i'm just going crazy.

[@pvleoparda9443]

Is it the 2003 UK VHS of Pinocchio you're after?

[@NancerOne]

You mean the Walt Disney Classics logo?

[@lukeasare-ellis7564]

*Do BBC Northern Ireland's 90 Years: A Selection - The Ident Review!*

[@edcola6671]

Cool.

[@GaryCrew437]

Wow!

[@chucklefun487]

You should do the ITV Video and Dvd idents.

[@realnoahsimpson]

where’s the “Fireworks” castle logo?

[@maxjackson1847]

Can you do a ident review on 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Idents?

[@fox-pixarmedia3422]

He will and be might do it

[@josephadam291]

Next can you do Guild home video ident review 1. 1983 rare ident 2. 1984 Strip rainbow 3.1985. Computer cgi 4.1996 Studio style guild home

[@SleepExports]

Shoulda done the one from the mid 90s, can't describe it, just sayin.

[@WhoChaser]

The first few seconds of the Disco Disney sequence looks like something straight out of a Doctor Who title sequence, it's insane. Very late Pertwee/Baker

[@JASpiring]

Probably the same tech - slitscan.

[@jgdsgh]

Could you do an episode on LWT idents throughout 1968-2002?

[@Matt78778]

I once saw the 1995 vision on my parents tv

[@joew9790]

I remember the idents starting from 5:00

[@familykids330]

You know there's actually a difference with the Stars ident for Walt Disney home entertainment there are two versions of that logo the first logo of Walt Disney home entertainment Stars logo features The Starry blue background which played on animated movies while the black starry background played on live action movies.

[@theviewuk2746]

Property of The Walt Disney Company.

[@GaryCrew437]

What if The Ident Review is released on VHS?

[@familykids330]

Do a universal ident review

[@WatchandRewin]

9:48 This music scared me

[@richtrm3177]

The 2001 variant is the one I grew up with and... yeah looking back at it... it's crap.

[@kingli4159]

I Saw The 2009 ID In 2011 On My DVD

[@GaryCrew437]

The Ident Review's company will be: ChumsFan Home Video

[@ben_fpyt]

Are these even idents? I think it's a movie logo intro.

[@JASpiring]

Yes, they are idents. So are the movie intros, though the industry calls those vanity plates.

[@ben_fpyt]

@@JASpiring ok thx

[@kingli4159]

Can You Do An Ident Review On TiVo Idents?

[@tornadomimicyclone6707]

I think that one day, you'll run out of idents and do G4TV's "idents". G4TV's idents should be easy to find, so take it as a request.

[@matthewpayton]

GREAT I DENTS

[@wrestletube1]

1986 with a more richer red text and distorted audio which sounded like fart noises coming out of the TV was a scary one but most of that logo were cute not scary I guess the zooming in wellllllllllllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sounding like nails on the chalkboard on the loud distorted volume version and the blinking noise of the magic on the same distorted one when they recorded on some New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh UK duplicates with the volume of the logo on it too high actually added more fear factor to it as if you were a kid watching some UK Pooh tapes as well. I don't think enough people has New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on VHS tape to even remember the distorted version but it did for a few years made me fast forward even on a tape that it wasn't even recorded distorted on for a good while because of that one Pooh VHS version where Hi-Fi soundtrack was recorded with the levels too loud on the logo.

[@SL-mt2uu]

1:53 are you trying to scare me!?

[@TheGerkuman]

Disco Disney stole from Doctor Who!

[@Chloe4656.]

I never cared about the idents that much if I'm honest.
