Buena Vista International Television

Background

Buena Vista International Television was the international distribution arm of Walt Disney Television established in 1985 to produce non-USA series and distribute all Disney-owned libraries around the world. In 2007, this division was renamed to "Disney-ABC International Television" after Disney retired the "Buena Vista" brand. It was renamed again in 2011 to "Disney Media Distribution".

1st Logo (1985-1990)

Nicknames: "The Turning 2-D Castle", "The White Castle II"

Logo: On a purple water-like background, we see a 2-D Disney castle turning from right to center while white lights shine upon the logo. Turning with the castle we see the stacked words, "BUENA VISTA INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION" (in the same alignment as the "Servicing the distribution" version of the previous logo) and a Disney copyright stamp underneath. Above the castle is "Distributed by" (or sometimes "Servicing distribution of this programme") in Arial font.

Variants:

Like the previous two logos, this can be seen in either 4:3 or 16:9.
A 2.35:1 version exists.

FX/SFX: The castle fading in and turning.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:

One episode of Dirt on international airings use the music of the 5th FX Networks logo music due to a reverse plaster error.
On current prints of the TV movie Model Behavior, the short Walt Disney Television music is heard due to plastering the 1986 WDT and 1995 WDT/BVI logos.
A season 2 episode of Brandy & Mr. Whiskers uses the full Walt Disney Television music due to plastering the Walt Disney Television Animation logo.
On an international print of an unknown Hannah Montana episode, the logo has the short 2002 Disney Channel Original theme, due to bad plastering.

Availability: Uncommon.

Like the previous two, this is seen on international airings of Disney, ABC, Touchstone TV series and movies, though some international channels may not have this at the end.
It's seen on some international shows such as Polish airings of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Season 1 episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Polish airings of older Disney cartoons which plastered the previous 2 logos.
This also plastered the Touchstone Pictures and Amblin Entertainment logos on a Christmas Eve airing of Who Framed Roger Rabbit on BBC 2 a few years back.
It is rumored this appears on a few Mill Creek and Kino-Lorber Blu-Ray releases of Touchstone/Hollywood Pictures titles such as Big Business, Firebirds, Prefontaine, Scenes From a Mall, and possibly others.
It can be seen at the end of HBO and Cinemax airings of Mr. Destiny (1990).
The "Servicing the Distribution" version, like with the previous logo, appears on ex-Fox Kids, Saban, and Jetix co-productions or shows airing on the channel distributed by the company. Such examples include series 2 of W.I.T.C.H.. and Series 1 of Pucca, the latter of which retains the logo on some official YouTube prints of the series.

Editor's Note: None.
