The first cassette uses the blue "FBI" warning and a blue "Licensed", then the 1978 Neon Mickey. Film logo is 1965 Buena Vista logo. No MPAA rating. 1980 Disney promo at the end. Must've been added on the sale copies after 1982, so mine must be a remaster although it STILL IS the first Disney Video release EVER. For sale only. Not intended for rental. Label is half-way torn off. The second cassette features the red FBI warnings followed by the 1983 Neon Mickey. The third cassette features the red FBI warnings and Sorcerer Mickey's logo. Rated G.
