The Aristocats Vhs Appraisal

The Aristocats (VHS)

The item is a presumably sealed VHS tape of the Walt Disney animated classic, "The Aristocats." The cover art features the main characters: Duchess, Thomas O'Malley, and the kittens Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse, set against a dark blue, starry Parisian night sky with the Eiffel Tower faintly visible in the background. The title "A Walt Disney Masterpiece THE Aristocats" is prominently displayed at the top. A bright yellow banner with the text "Coming To Video!" is visible in the bottom right corner of the cover art, suggesting this may be a promotional or early release version, or perhaps simply an advertisement on the cover for the upcoming VHS release at the time. The overall physical condition appears to be excellent, as the tape is still encased in its original plastic wrap, indicating it is likely new old stock or in very well-preserved, unused condition. There are no visible tears, scuffs, or significant discoloration on the plastic packaging or the cover art itself. The white cardboard housing for the VHS tape is also pristine with sharp corners. The film was originally released in 1970, and this VHS release would likely date from a later period, possibly the late 1980s or early 1990s, when 'Coming to Video' was a common marketing phrase for new home video releases. The intact plastic wrap is a significant indicator of its preserved quality.
