Storytime Collection was a sub-label of the Publishing and Broadcasting Video group in Australia and New Zealand, and was co-branded with Star Video. The label specialised in childrens animation films that were released on home video in the mid 1980s.
Their releases were often double features - two cartoons that were around 30 to 45 minutes long. Not all of the releases were double though; usually cartoons than ran for at least one hour were released as a stand alone title.
The anime scenes and characters shown in the grid are as follows:

The start and end of a Palace Vibrant Video, taken from Commuter Husbands (1972), with edits. This label released R-rated softcore and/or bowlderized adult films in Australia on video cassette for the rental market from 1984 onwards, for a few years. This particular one was released in late 1984.

As with other retro start and end videos on my channel, this is presented here for its historical interest and educational value, and to give you an understanding of the type of promotional material they contained. I realise its weirdly edited and I am sorry for this. But very explicit content is not permitted on YouTube (see Community Guidelines). So its either this or nothing at all. It sits behind an age restriction and is not intended for viewing by minors.
The edited trailer for Commuter Husbands itself has also been uploaded and can be viewed by searching YouTube for commuter husbands trailer . It was taken from the release of Delicious.
Aside from the films listed above and in the stay watching advice, other earlier titles released by this label included:
* Emanuelle, The Porno Nights
* Sextoons
* Come Play With Me
* The Ecstasy Girls
* Bad Girls
* Desires Within Young Girls
* Nurses of the 407 ~
* Up n Coming ~
* Emanuelle 3
* Divine Emanuelle
* Love, Lust & Ecstasy
* Tropic of Desire ~
* Object of Desire ~
* Oriental Blue
* Sensations
* Temptations
* Teenage Sex Kitten
* A Scent of Heather
* Intimate Lessons ~
* Expose Me Now ~
And heaps more.
The titles above that have a ~ next to it were also released in their uncut, hardcore X-rated versions on Palace X Video label in 1984.")
