Logo: 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.

Variants:

  • On UK theatrical releases, the text reads "Happy birthday MICKEY On Your Golden Jubliee".
  • On Italian thetrical and Super 8 releases, the text reads "Congratulazioni Topolino per il tuo Giubileo d'Oro".
  • A rare textless variant also exists.

Technique: Rotoscoped cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A loud orchestral fanfare, composed by longtime Disney composer Buddy Baker.

Availability: Appears on 1978 thetrical releases (The Cat from Outer Space, Return from Witch Mountain) and theatrical re-issues (Pinocchio, The Jungle Book).

Legacy: A very important and beautifly animated logo, which would later be used (in modified form) as the first logo for Walt Disney Home Entertainment.
