Opening to Disney's Hercules-Greek VHS release
Released in late 1997, the opening sequence featured pretty much the standard procedure by Disney and its Greek licensee and home video distributor Audio Visual Enterprises with a theatrical trailer, in this instance for Mulan and various ads for VHS releases, mostly for Disney classics such as Mary Poppins, Cinderella etc., with a teaser to stay after the end of the movie just before the opening credits.
Apologies for the partially damaged footage, the tape inside the VHS cassette was tangled and I had to open the cassette myself in order to untangle it but the damage was already been done. I describe in the chapters which ads are affected.
