* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVCoWtlu3dE "Walt Disney and You"], a compilation trailer seen at the end of [[Disney]]'s videocassettes from 1982 onward, contains clips from various 1950s-1980s Disney films, mostly the live-action ones. (In '82 only a few [[Disney Animated Canon]] titles were available for home viewing.) It comes complete with a 1980s-style [[Ear Worm]] title song at the beginning and end. Earlier videos just contain trailers for other Disney movies after the end of the actual movie.
** The [[Disney's Sing Along Songs]] has a promo with Ludwig Von Drake trying to practice the song, ''Heigh-Ho'' from [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]].
* A lot of [[Metro Goldwyn Mayer|MGM/UA]]'s 1980s videos end with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69T7hbyUqYo a compilation trailer] that is similar to the "Walt Disney and You" trailer, except it is set to various songs and promotes MGM and [[United Artists]] films on video.
** Earlier, when MGM/UA was called MGM/CBS (a joint venture between MGM and [[CBS]]), its tapes just contained movie trailers at the end.
