Fantasia Appraisal

Walt Disney's Masterpiece Fantasia VHS

This item is a VHS tape of Walt Disney's 'Fantasia', part of the 'Walt Disney's Masterpiece' collection. The tape appears to be encased in its original, sealed plastic shrink wrap, suggesting it is new old stock or in pristine, unopened condition. The cover art features Sorcerer Mickey Mouse from 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' segment, dressed in a red robe with a yellow rope belt and a blue conical hat adorned with a white moon and stars. Mickey stands on a sheet of musical notation, with sparkling stars surrounding him on a vibrant purple and rose-colored background. The title 'FANTASIA' is prominently displayed in large golden letters, with 'WALT DISNEY'S MASTERPIECE' in smaller golden text above it. The physical dimensions are typical for a standard VHS cassette sleeve, approximately 7.5 inches in height, 4.5 inches in width, and 1 inch in depth. The glossy finish of the cover art is well-preserved, showing no visible signs of creasing, scuffing, or fading. The fact that it is still sealed in plastic adds significantly to its collectible value and indicates excellent preservation of the paper sleeve inside. This specific edition likely dates back to the 1990s, given the 'Masterpiece Collection' branding and the prevalent use of VHS format during that era. Its unopened status makes it a highly desirable piece for collectors of Disney memorabilia and vintage home video formats.
