message: I never heard of these Canada-only Walt Disney Classics video releases! Are these all false info? I never found any on eBay (they have Canadian sellers). --Wile e2005 14:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * That's not how you can tell if a release is Canadian.  All U.S. and Canadian video covers since about 1984 have one of those release numbers beside the stock number.  You'll find it in the very small print on the back of the cover at the bottom.  It's probably a better indication of whether you have a "first edition" than comparing logos, etc.  The highest one I've seen is the Masterpiece Collection version of Mary Poppins, which is 023-7.  I'm going to warn you now that I'm planning to add Mary Poppins to this page soon.  It was part of the Classics collection and Disney considers it to be an animated movie, even though it's mostly live action. Canadiana 14:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canadian video releases 

message: An anonymous user is contributing wrong info, and redundant information. The Sword in the Stone first came to video in America in 1986 because there is a trailer for The Journey of Natty Gann video release (1986) on it. Also, there was 1989 cover of Sleeping Beauty, that's a lie, and this user keeps vandalising the titles with "&" instead of "and." We have to stop this. User:Imax80

message: This page is intended for discussing the Walt Disney Classics article. If you want to compare your various video collections, please find an appropriate discussion area somewhere else. This is not the place for that. —tregoweth (talk) 15:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  How do you archive a talk page? 

message: This is frying me, some anonymous user is constantly saying that Pinocchio and Robin Hood weren't the mid 1980s and Aladdin was October 1993. Will somebody make this guy stop? 
We must stop this because only I, Rynasuarus0077, Gabrielkat, and Tregoweth know that Robin Hood and Pinocchio were the mid 1980s. Imaxination 80.
Also, the anonymous user thinks that Lady and the Tramp was released to video in Europe in 1987 (same year as the US release), whereas it was actually released there in 1988 and 1992. Gabrielkat 21:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why does the anonymous user change the US section?

thread_title:  Citations 

message: This anonymous pest keeps removing the original release dates of Robin Hood and Pinocchio. He just won't stop. He keeps arguing. I am sick of changing this page. He doesn't believe me when I say I have the 1984-85 video releases of Robin and Pinocchio.
We really have to stop him, he's ticking me off by constantly deleting those two releases, will somebody help me make him stop?! Imaxination 80 --Imax80 02:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I'm starting to get really mad at this anonymous user 

message: Why on my Aladdin and Fantasia videos is there no Classics logo?
Did the UK rebrand the series as Walt Disney Home Video (not 1993)?

thread_title:  What's this? 

message: We all know this one. You see, in 1991, Disney had so many new releases is that they were lazy when it came to 1991 re-releases of Dumbo, Alice, and Sword, so they initially put the old tapes in the clamshells, but as the tape masters were outdated, they made the new versions in later 1991 with the 1988 Logos.

thread_title: Alice In Wonderland, Dumbo, and The Sword in the Stone 1991 VHS have 1988 "Sorcerer Mickey" Classics logo

thread_title:  Weekdays 

message: After that anonymous user constantly saying Aladdin was October 1, 1993, I edited to September and 27 and wrote an edit summary scolding him if he keeps it up, he'll be labeled as a troll. Now he's not going to change the page again. If he does it again, what should we do? Imax80 03:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What?

message: I have removed the following section, which seems to be made up of entirely false information:
:Canada
:In addition to the U.S. titles above, the following titles were released in Canada.
:* Make Mine Music (November 13, 1984) #211
:* The Three Caballeros (July 17, 1985) #240
:* Melody Time (July 16, 1985) #241
:* Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1986)
:* Fun and Fancy Free (October 6, 1988) #412
:* The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (October 7, 1988) #413
:* The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (October 10, 1988) #414
:* The Aristocats (1989 and 1992) #037 and #1222 
:* Oliver & Company (September 27, 1989) #941
Actual Disney productions (as opposed to some movies Disney licensed from elsewhere) have always been released simultaneously in the U.S. and Canada.  There is no evidence that any of these were released in Canada prior to their release in the U.S. or that any of these were ever released with a "Classics" logo.  AS verified from Canadian rental copies, #211 is Son of Flubber, #241 is Country, #414 is The Light in the Forest, #037 is Old Yeller, and the other stock numbers I've never seen. It also doesn't seem plausible that Disney could have shipped 4 titles on 4 different dates over a 5-day period in October, 1988.  That just doesn't make sense.  I expect that all of this information is a fabrication disguised to look like legitimate information.
The other dates in the article are either identical or close to the dates I have.  One complication is that Disney for many years had a Nationally Advertised Availability Date (N.A.A.D.) which was 3 days later than the actual Street Date.  It seems that both types of dates appear in thias article, but I think it would be better to standardize on the advertised date.  Any opinions on this? Canadiana 17:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: We don't have the exact release dates for the following titles-

* The Sword in the Stone (re-release)

Can we get those dates too, also we have to archive the talk page pretty soon.

replies: text: No, the talk page should not be archived. If you try to edit the whole page and you start to get a message saying that the page is getting too big, that's the time to start thinking about archiving it, but we're not even at the thinking stage yet.  Archiving the page is very disruptive to ongoing discussions, and should only be done when absolutely necessary.  When the page needs to be archived, only the topics that are no longer being discussed should be archived. Canadiana 06:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
