Visuals: On a Dark Yellow Gradient Background, we see the words Eclecta Video in a fancy-like font.
Technique: Traditional Wipe-In Effects.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on all Italian VHS Tapes of Disney's Pre-1940 Animated Films like Pinocchio but also some of their later animated films.
Legacy: This company is known to be infamous for making pirated bootleg copies of Disney's Pre-1940 Animated Films. It was presumed that these films had fallen into the public domain in Italy; Disney disputed this and posted notices at video stores warning customers that the Eclecta tapes of Disney product were illegal. Eclecta in turn responded with letters sent to the same stores insisting that their tapes of pre-1949 Disney cartoons were made within legal jurisdictions. The final sentence on this case was issued in 2015, according to the Disney Tapes and More website, which also notes that a similar unauthorized distributor of these features in Italy, Walkman S.r.l., removed its releases of them from circulation at Disney's insistence.
