The only thing is, the...That's a great theory!<br /><br />The only thing is, the LaserDisc edition of 'The Jungle Book' was released sometime in 1992. Still, I wouldn't rule it out. Those screen are on there, so maybe those warnings were created as far back as 1990, and maybe the LD for 'The Jungle Book' was originally planned for a 1991 release to go alongside the videocassette version.<br /><br />But again, it could explain why this hiccup is on here.Kyle Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368946953946959139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968771305008031703.post-28607493398744530372014-05-16T20:30:10.649-07:002014-05-16T20:30:10.649-07:00I think I know what it might be.

Who ever was in charge of pressing and printing the demo tape may have messed up as they were also preparing the content for the laserdisc release of the film. I have seen the opening to The Jungle Book laserdisc, it opens with the green FBI/warning screens following the 1986 WDHV logo and then the start of the film. I may be wrong about the reason but that's most likely what may have happened.Dalia1784https://www.blogger.com/profile/13608180732134774277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968771305008031703.post-63411918042525089942014-01-08T17:14:39.755-08:002014-01-08T17:14:39.755-08:00Hmmmm… Very interesting.

The 1988 VHS has the full WDP logo, so that's certainly different. Where did you see this print?<br /><br />As for the 1979 BV title card, that reminds me of the 'Blackbeard's Ghost' issue. I'm sure you've seen it, but 8to16to35 uploaded almost every BV and RKO card he could find. He also did a video showing 'Blackbeard's Ghost' and its opening credits, the VHS and DVD releases of the film contain the 1979 BV logo, though a late 70s/early 80s re-release isn't listed anywhere. At least not a US re-release.<br /><br />However, with this and the 'Cinderella' print you recently saw, it's possible that Disney used that weird BV card for 1979-1984 re-releases of classic films. Maybe the 1981 re-release of 'Cinderella' opened with this, or closed with it. Or both. What do you think?Kyle Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368946953946959139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968771305008031703.post-8924016548717146182014-01-08T16:26:15.898-08:002014-01-08T16:26:15.898-08:00If you think that's unusual, I recently saw a ...If you think that's unusual, I recently saw a 35mm print of "Cinderella" from the 1980s: it had the extremely ugly 1979 BV logo (the one that's on Winnie the Pooh and a Day For Eeyore and Mickey's Christmas Carol) at the very end, and the logo looked like an anamorphic print being viewed without anamorphic lenses. The RKO logo and music were replaced with a short 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo, and it picked up with the "Walt Disney Presents" credit. That combination is one I'm sure I'll never see again.attmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647102054827484863noreply@blogger.com
