Buena Vista Productions was the former production arm of Walt Disney Television International. It has no relation to a later company of the same name, which was later renamed to ABC Media Productions.
Nicknames: "(Classic) Disney Castle", "Abstract Castle", "Black BG & Blue Castle", "Disney Castle"
Logo: On a black background, we see the usual Abstract Disney Castle in blue. On the bottom is the text Buena Vista Productions in white, with "Productions" to the bottom of "Buena Vista", and copyright date below all of it in a different font. After this, all the text apart from "Buena Vista" fades away, with Distributed by fading on the top, and International, Inc. below in a gray font.
FX/SFX: Just the text fading.
Music/Sounds: The end theme to the special.
Availability: Extinct. The only known use of this logo was on a Christmas episode of the French series Disney Parade called "Disney Parade Spécial Noél" ("Disney Parade Christmas Special"), which aired on TF1 on December 24, 1989. Might have appeared on other episodes of the show from this time period.
Editor's Note: This logo is a wasted one and most likely a placeholder for the next logo.
Nicknames: "(Classic) Disney Castle II", "Abstract Castle II", "Blue BG & Rainbow Castle","Multicolored Kingdom", "Disney Castle II", "Rainbow Disney Castle"
Logo: It's basically the same as the 1986 Walt Disney Television and Buena Vista Television logos, but with "Buena Vista Productions" below. The "Productions" text fades in a few seconds after the logo starts.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Same as the 1986 Walt Disney Television logo.
Music/Sounds: The same ascending pings as the Walt Disney Television logo used at the time, or the ending theme to the show/special.
Music/Sounds Variants: On '90s episodes of the Australian version of Saturday Disney, the closing theme plays along with the bells. There was also an announcement that said "Saturday Disney is produced in conjunction with Buena Vista Productions for the Seven Network."
Availability: Rare.
Editor's Note: None.
