After a while, the text "'''''Congratulating Mickey Mouse on his 50th Birthday!'''''", in white and in a fancy font, zooms in.

In 1978, Walt Disney Productions celebrated Mickey Mouse's 50th anniversary. As part of the birthday celebration, Disney created a special animated logo, which appeared on theatrical releases and re-issues. Later, the logo was modified to be used as the logo for Disney's new home media division.
Visuals: A solid red Mickey appears with purple dashed outlines surrounding it. The Mickey starts to rotate. After a while, the text "Congratulating Mickey Mouse on his 50th Birthday!", in white and in a fancy font, zooms in. After a few seconds, it zooms in towards the screen until vanishing from sight, and the top and bottom halves of the 1978 Buena Vista logo wipe in over the logo.
Note: For the 4th Video, skip to 1:13 for the variant.
Trivia: The rotating "Neon Mickey" is a silhouetted image of the animatronic Mickey conductor that was used in the former Walt Disney World/Tokyo Disneyland attraction "The Mickey Mouse Revue".
Variants:
Technique: Rotoscoped cel animation.
Audio: A loud orchestral fanfare, composed by longtime Disney composer Buddy Baker.
Audio Trivia: The score for this logo is the first track of the Intrada release of Return from Witch Mountain titled "Main Title - Pt. 1 '1978 Mickey Mouse Birthday Logo' (Buddy Baker)". It lacks the string section and the last timpani beat at the end, likely meaning it’s an alternate take.
Audio Variants:

Legacy: Contrary to the 1978 WDHE and 1981 WDHV logos, this does not receive as much negative community reception, thanks to the brighter color scheme.
