Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection

The Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection, or the Gold Collection for short, was a series of VHS and DVD releases of animated Disney films, similar to the Walt Disney Classics and Walt Disney Masterpiece Collections that preceded it. The series notably also featured the first home video releases of Make Mine Music and Saludos Amigos (although content from these two was cut).

The DVDs were similar in content to the failed Limited Issue DVDs, to the point that the Gold Collection DVDs for Pinocchio, Hercules, and Mulan were actually reissues of those films' Limited Issue DVDs. Most of the DVDs contained a few bonus features in the form of interactive read-alongs, trivia games, and sing-alongs, though some also contained bonus cartoon shorts.

Each wave of Gold Collection videos and DVDs were released on select days of each month from January 2000 through March 2001. However, due to subpar sales, Disney discontinued the line afterward. As a result, later releases with similar content and cover designs were not labeled as Gold Collection videos.

Many of the films released in the Gold Collection have since been released on DVD again, some as part of the Walt Disney Platinum Editions (and its successor series, the Walt Disney Diamond Editions) or as individual "special edition" DVDs. As of 2014, Make Mine Music, Melody Time, and A Goofy Movie are the only films released in the series that have not been given new DVD releases since then.

The Spirit of Mickey and So Dear to My Heart were apparently going to be re-released as part of the Gold Collection (as seen on a trailer for the collection on various videos), but these videos were never released. So Dear to My Heart was eventually released on DVD as a Disney Movie Club exclusive.
