This opening logo was used until Treasure Buddies in 2012. In 2006, on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Disney introduced this CGI logo. It was also seen on many mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s prints of classic Disney movies with the RKO logo or the Buena Vista logo cut how ever since the late 1990s they restored the RKO logos and Buena Vista logos. The full version with sound would later appear that same year in The Black Cauldron.

This logo first appeared in 1985 with the film Return to Oz, although this version was rather incomplete and silent. The word 'PICTURES' fades in underneath, and a white semi-circular line is drawn over the castle to the bottom left.

Through the main gate of the castle, a white ball of light forms then extends out to form the words 'Walt Disney' in the familiar corporate 'Disney' logo font. The segments seem to be spaced farther apart by the time the light reaches the bottom. On a dark purple/blue gradient backdrop, a shower of light descends from the top of the screen, forming a stylized, segmented castle which is a white/purple gradient with only 6 flags. Various Walt Disney Television logos have been modified versions of the castle logo. The main production logo most often features various arrangements of ' When You Wish Upon a Star' from the 1940 animated feature Pinocchio as a fanfare. Some films feature variations of the logo with different lighting and color settings to better match the film's theme and tone. The design of the stylized Magic Kingdom was based on the symbol used during Disneyland's 30th anniversary during the same year. The logo almost always features a fairytale castle directly inspired by Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle, which has undergone several changes since its introduction in 1985.
