Anyone else notice that the 1984 Walt Disney Classics logo starts rather abruptly on this version of the master? "Alice in Wonderland" did something like that too, but it also ends abruptly as well, fading out before the music finishes. (Some printings of "The Sword in the Stone" did that too.)
Your copy is actually a reprint from 1987; as the original 1986 VHS has the trailer for "The Journey of Natty Gann" inbetween the Warning screens and the 1984 Walt Disney Classics logo.
Ack, my bad. Like I said I don't have this tape anymore, so I was going by what Googling the history of Disney home video told me. I'll fix it when I get back to my computer in a little while.
Also, the earlier printings of the original 1986 Classics VHS releases of “The Sword in the Stone” and “Alice in Wonderland” had the 1981/1984 variant of the 1978-1986 Walt Disney Home Video “Neon Mickey” logo instead of the 1984-1987 Walt Disney Classics “Cheesy Diamond” logo.
Thanks for uploading this :)

The tape master might’ve been a rushed job.
That logo continually creeps me out. Not nearly as much now as it used to, but good grief. Moog synthesyndrome sure had its way here.
