The subtitle \"L'hebdomadaire des super-jeunes de 7 à 77 ans\" (The weekly for super-young people aged 7 to 77) is also clearly visible. To the right of the title, a vignette highlights a section on \"The best Walt Disney movies.\" The issue number, \"N° 31,\" and the reference \"30-7-85\" are clearly indicated, confirming the summer 1985 period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover features dominant colors of beige, sand yellow, light blue, and red, typical of youth magazines of the era.
