United States and Canada (Domestic)

1st bumper (june 26, 1981-january 1982).

Visuals: On a blue background, the words " HERE ARE SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS FROM OTHER WALT DISNEY HOME VIDEOCASSETTES " are seen to the upper left corner of the screen in yellow text.

Technique: Chyron effects generated by a Character Generator unit.

Audio: None.

Availability: This was typically seen at the end of Disney films released on video at the time, either for sale or rental; though in general, it's not that easy to find given these releases were in home video's early days and it only lasted a year and a half. It depends on the tape label, the date it was printed in (a print date is usually seen on the spine of the videotape), and a few other factors. Some examples include the very first printing of the 1982 VHS of A Walt Disney Christmas , the 1981 VHS of Pollyanna , and the 1981 VHS of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

2nd Bumper (April-September 1982)

Visuals: On a black background, the Walt Disney Home Video logo (with Sorcerer Mickey) appears with the words "Also available from" above; everything is colored in teal-ish grey and outlined in white. The copyright date is below the logo.

Technique: Digital graphic.

Availability: This was an alternate variant of the first bumper. It's possible to find it via the details listed on the first bumper's section.

3rd Bumper (July 16, 1985-February 28, 1989)

Visuals: On a black background, the following white bumper text is seen in a plain white font.

• Coming to a Theatre near you, in the summer of 1985 (in a bold Helvetica Font)
• Coming Soon (in Helvetica Narrow font)
• Coming Soon from Walt Disney Home Video (in a bold Helvetica Font)
• Now on Walt Disney Home Video... (in an italic Times New Roman font)
• Coming Soon from Touchstone Home Video ("Touchstone Home Video" is done using their logo; the text is colored turquoise)
• Coming to Theatres in October 1986 from Touchstone Films (in a condensed Futura Bold font)
• And now, a preview of another blockbuster hit, from Touchstone Home Video (Seen on the 1988 VHS reissue of Tin Men , and the original 1988 VHS releases of Hello Again , D.O.A. , Shoot to Kill , and Good Morning, Vietnam )
• Ask your dealer about this hit title, from Touchstone Home Video (Seen on the 1988 VHS release of The Rescue and the 1989 VHS release of Big Business )
• And now, a preview of another blockbuster hit. (Only seen on the 1988 VHS release of The Rescue )
• A special Public Service Announcement (Only seen on the original 1987 VHS release of Outrageous Fortune and the 1988 VHS releases of Adventures in Babysitting (1987) and Can’t Buy Me Love )
• Feature Presentation

Variants: The font and size varies by tape.

• The "Coming Soon from Walt Disney Home Video" bumper is displayed on a black-blue gradient background. This precedes a trailer for The Journey of Natty Gann .
• On the 1986 VHS release of My Science Project , preceding a trailer for Down and Out in Beverly Hills , the "COMING SOON" text is dark blue and in quotation marks.
• On several 1986 VHS releases that open with trailers for The Journey of Natty Gann and The Sword in the Stone , a bumper appears in between the trailers with reused footage from an early Disney Channel bumper featuring Sorcerer Mickey. A short musical sting from The Sorcerer's Apprentice (from Fantasia ) is heard, with the 80s Disney Channel announcer, Jerry Bishop, saying "And here's what's coming soon!" over the bumper.
• An early variant of the "Ask Your Video Dealer..." bumper exists, where the text is still and instead reads "Ask your video dealer now about this hit title also from Touchstone Home Video." Grant Goodeve reads the text as usual, only his tone is different. This version was first seen on the 1988 VHS of Stakeout , the first tape to include these bumpers, and later appeared on the 1988 VHS releases of Three Men and a Baby and Adventures in Babysitting (1987).
• On the 1988 VHS release of Hello Again , the text is seen in an all-caps Impact font.
• On the 1988 VHS release of Shoot to Kill , a still version of the bumper is seen in between the two trailers on the tape.
• On the 1988 VHS releases of Can't Buy Me Love and Hello Again , the letters are in a different font and italicized.
• On the 1988 VHS release of Adventures in Babysitting (1987), a special animated variant is used. The text is the same as the 1st variant, but in gold. It then rotates around once, revealing it’s interlocked with the film's logo, and thus rests on that. The logo then shines and flies away into the top left corner of the screen.
• On the 1988 Canadian French VHS release of Shoot to Kill , the text instead reads "Notre Presentation de long metrage".
• One variant of the "A special public service announcement" bumper exists, where the background is orange red and the text is bolder. This version is only seen on the original 1987 VHS release of Outrageous Fortune .

Audio: Originally silent, until 1988, when it just had an announcer saying the following for two of the bumpers:

• Ask Your Video Dealer: "Ask your video dealer now about this hit title, also from Touchstone Home Video." Voiced by Grant Goodeve, later credited as the voice of the Engineer in Team Fortress 2 .
• Feature Presentation: "And now, our feature presentation from Touchstone Home Video." Voiced by Brian Cummings, well-known Disney bumper/commercial/trailer announcer and later credited as the voices of Doofus Drake in DuckTales (1987), Ranger McRanger in ChalkZone , and Sokolov in Metal Gear Solid 3 .

Audio Variants (FP only):

• The 1988 VHS release of Good Morning, Vietnam had the announcer saying, "And now for our feature presentation, Good Morning, Vietnam ."
• On the 1988-89 VHS releases of Three Men and a Baby , Shoot to Kill , The Rescue , and Big Business , the announcer says, "And now, our feature presentation."
• On the 1988 VHS reissue of Tough Guys , a rock-and-roll tune plays, and the announcer says, "And now, from Touchstone Home Video, our feature presentation, Tough Guys ."
• Similar audio is used for the animated variation on the 1988 VHS release of Adventures in Babysitting (1987), except the excerpt from the previously mentioned song is slightly muffled and the announcer adds, "... Adventures in Babysitting ."
• The 1988 VHS re-release of Outrageous Fortune has the announcer adding, "... Outrageous Fortune ."
• On the 1988 Canadian French VHS release of Shoot to Kill , a French announcer reads the text.

Availability: It is slightly easier to spot than the first two bumpers. Initially used on Walt Disney Home Video releases, they were relegated to use on Touchstone Home Video tapes in 1986.

• The "Summer of 1985" bumper is seen on early printings of the 1985 Classics video release of Pinocchio (1940), following the theatrical trailer for The Black Cauldron .
• The original "Coming Soon" version is seen on the original video releases of Return to Oz , The Blue Yonder , and The Small One , all released in December 1985.
• The "Coming Soon from Walt Disney Home Video" and Sorcerer Mickey bumpers appear on VHS releases from March 1986, including The Living Desert , Charley and the Angel , Lots of Luck , The Ugly Dachshund , and the first six volumes of Wonderful World of Disney Double Feature .
• The "Now on Walt Disney Home Video..." bumper can be spotted on VHS releases from April 1986, including Return from Witch Mountain , The Horse Without a Head , The Flight of the Grey Wolf , Elfego Baca: Six Gun Law , and Almost Angels .
• The "Coming Soon from Touchstone Home Video" variant can be seen on VHS releases of Wildside .
• The "Coming to Theatres in October 1986 from Touchstone Films" variant appears on the 1986 VHS releases of Down and Out in Beverly Hills and Off Beat , preceding a trailer for Tough Guys .
• The later versions of the bumpers, with the voiceover, debuted on the 1988 VHS reissues of Tin Men and Outrageous Fortune , making their first new release appearance on the 1988 VHS of Stakeout . The entire bumper in general, last appeared on the 1989 VHS of Big Business .

Legacy: This is the very first Disney ID to contain multiple bumpers, introduced years before it became a standard. Excluding the Sorcerer Mickey bumper, this is the last known Disney ID of any kind in U.S./Canada that didn't feature any voiceover on all of the bumpers until 2006. These bumpers look very plain compared to the more elaborate ones that came later; in fairness, these were the first forays into consistent bumper branding for Disney, and they certainly got better over time.

4th Bumper (April 18, 1989-May 27, 1992; September 18, 1992)

Visuals: On a black background, any one of the bumpers below swiftly appear in a Clarendon font depending on the bumper. It may either fly up and down, respectively, and then shine, fly up and then shine, fly in from the right and shine, or it may simply shine while otherwise being still.

• Also from Touchstone (First appeared on the original 1989 VHS release of Beaches ; last appeared on the 1991 VHS releases of Mr. Destiny and Three Men and a Little Lady .)
• Coming to Theatres (Seen on the 1990 Classics VHS release of Peter Pan (1953), and the original 1991 VHS release of White Fang .)
• Coming on Videocassette (First seen on the 1991 VHS release of Mr. Destiny as a still image; the fully animated version was first seen on the 1991 VHS release of Run and last seen on the 1992 VHS release of So Dear to My Heart .)
• Now on Videocassette (Seen on the 1990 Classics VHS release of Peter Pan (1953) and the original 1991 VHS release of Shipwrecked as a still image.)
• Also on Video (Seen on the 1991 Hollywood Pictures VHS releases of The Marrying Man , One Good Cop , and V.I. Warshawski .)
• Also from Walt Disney Home Video (This was seen on the 1991 VHS release of Three Men and a Little Lady )
• Coming this March to Videocassette (This was seen on the 1992 demo tapes of Paradise and The Doctor .)
• Stay Tooned (This always preceded a trailer for Who Framed Roger Rabbit , and was seen on the original 1989 VHS releases of Cocktail , Heartbreak Hotel , Beaches , Ernest Saves Christmas , and Three Fugitives .)
• Behind the Scenes (Exclusively seen on the 1989 VHS of Cocktail before a music video preview for Heartbreak Hotel .)

Trivia: Most of these bumpers were relegated exclusively to Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures VHS releases.

• The color scheme varies for each bumper.
• On the 1991 VHS release of Mr. Destiny , only the sparkling/shining animation on the "Coming on Videocassette" bumper is shown. This animation also occurs, but from right to left, on the "Now On Videocassette" bumper on the original 1991 VHS release of Shipwrecked .
• On a 1991 promotional VHS release featuring clips from both Run and Shipwrecked , the bumper fades out much earlier and slower than usual.
• On the original 1992 VHS releases of Deceived , Billy Bathgate , and Truly, Madly, Deeply , the "Coming on Videocassette" bumper cuts in a second later than usual.
• On the "Also from Touchstone" bumper, the text is in Courier, the "Touchstone" text shines differently, and doesn't have any sparkle effects.
• On the "Also on Video" bumper, the text is in a Lydian font. There are no sparkle effects on it.
• On the "Also from Walt Disney Home Video" bumper, the titular logo is seen with the words " ALSO FROM " on top in Courier, connecting at a fast speed.
• On the "Behind the Scenes" and "Feature Presentation" bumpers, the background is grey and the letters zoom in one by one from top to bottom instead of flying in. There are also no sparkle effects on them.
• On the "Feature Presentation" bumper, the text is in gold.
• Starting with the 1992 demo VHS releases of Deceived and Billy Bathgate and ending with the 1992 VHS of Truly, Madly, Deeply , Touchstone VHS tapes would have a variation of the "Feature Presentation" bumper using the normal black background and orange text.
• On the "Stay Tooned" bumper, it is on a different grey background, the text is in a gold-red gradient Balloon font, and instead of shining, a flash forms behind them, and spawns a shadow.
• On the "Coming this March to Videocassette" bumper, the text zooms in from the right top corner instead of connecting, and the text is more two dimensional. The text "shines" once centered on the screen.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: The first eight notes of "Great Ovation" by Steve Gray from the Bruton Music library, a triumphant tune meant to invoke an award show atmosphere noteworthy for its prominence on most Walt Disney Home Video bumpers until 1999. An announcer (Brian Cummings, the same announcer as the previous two bumpers), is heard saying one of the following:

• Coming to Theatres: "Coming to theaters from Walt Disney Pictures."
• Coming on Videocassette: "Coming soon on videocassette!"
• Now on Videocassette: "Don't miss this timeless Disney classic, now on videocassette."
• Also from Touchstone: "Ask your video dealer about these hit titles, also from Touchstone Home Video."
• Also on Video: "Ask your video dealer about these hit titles!"
• Also from Walt Disney Home Video: "Coming, from Walt Disney Home Video."
• Coming this March to Videocassette: "Coming from Touchstone Home Video."
• Stay Tooned: "Stay tuned for the most fun ever on home video!"
• Behind the Scenes: "Behind the scenes with Touchstone Home Video's Heartbreak Hotel ."
• Feature Presentation: "And now for our feature presentation."

Audio Variants:

• The version of the intro of "Great Ovation" used for the first two editions of the "Also from Touchstone" bumper along with the "Stay Tooned" and "Feature Presentation" bumpers sounds more intense and fades out earlier than normal. This is because the intro used for these bumpers was sampled from the original version of the fanfare, while other bumpers used a slightly modified version of the intro.
• The "Behind the Scenes" bumper has an even more modified version of the fanfare, going one octave upward as well as a different finish.
• Coming to Theatres: On the 1991 VHS of White Fang , Brian Cummings says, "Coming to theaters soon."
• The variant on the 1991 VHS of Mr. Destiny that lacks the fly-in animation features Brian Cummings quickly saying "Coming on videocassette."
• On the 1991 VHS release of White Fang , Brian Cummings quickly says, "Coming from Walt Disney Home Video."
• On the 1991 VHS release of What About Bob? , Brian Cummings enthusiastically says, "Coming on videocassette!"
• On an unknown demo tape from 1991, Brian Cummings says "Coming soon on videocassette." in a calmer tone of voice than usual. Along with its original energetic counterpart, this voiceover was reused for the 1992-94 bumpers.
• On the demo VHS releases of Paradise and The Doctor , an edited version of the audio from the second version of the "Also from Touchstone" bumper is used where Brian Cummings only says "Also from Touchstone Home Video."
• On the original VHS releases of Paradise and The Doctor , as well as the demo VHS releases of Deceived and Billy Bathgate , Brian Cummings says, "Coming from Touchstone Home Video."
• The 1992 VHS release of So Dear to My Heart has the shortened version of "Great Ovation" heard on other bumpers from the time, with Mark Elliot saying, "Coming soon, from Walt Disney Home Video." This bumper crossfades into the start of the Beauty and the Beast (1991) video trailer.
• Now on Videocassette: On the 1991 VHS release of Shipwrecked , Brian Cummings enthusiastically says, "Now on videocassette!"
• On 1989 Touchstone Home Video tapes, a different announcer, Tom Kane, later credited as the voices of Monkey Fist in Kim Possible and Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars , says, "Ask your video dealer about this hit title, also from Touchstone Home Video". As this version of the bumper only referred to one preview, this bumper appeared twice on the 1989 VHS releases of Three Fugitives and Turner & Hooch . The last tape to use this variation was the 1990 VHS of New York Stories , and the first tape to use the 1990 variation was the 1990 VHS of An Innocent Man .
• On the 1991 VHS releases of Mr. Destiny and Three Men and a Little Lady , Brian Cummings says, "Ask your video dealer about this hit title...from Touchstone Home Video".
• On the 1990 Laserdisc release of Dead Poets Society , no announcer is heard.
• On the "Behind the Scenes" bumper, a more bombastic version of "Great Ovation" sourced from the last few seconds of the track is heard instead.
• The "Also from Walt Disney Home Video" bumper used a sample of a different, majestic-sounding fanfare ("Pageantry (6)" as composed by Leslie Pearson, from the Bruton Music Library).

Availability: It was only used for 3 years, but is mainly found on Disney subsidiaries (i.e Touchstone) of the time. The Feature Presentation bumper is an exception, though, and was used on many Disney VHS tapes.

• It was first seen on the original 1989 VHS printing of Cocktail , and appeared on all subsequent titles from Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures Home Video until the 1992 VHS release of Truly, Madly, Deeply ; however, the "Coming on Videocassette" bumper made one last appearance on the 1992 VHS release of So Dear to My Heart .
• The "Feature Presentation" bumper is relatively more common, as it was used on Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, and Disney VHS releases, including the 1991 VHS releases of Lantern Hill , Looking for Miracles , Shipwrecked , White Fang , Robin Hood (1973), The Rescuers Down Under , DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp , and The Brave Little Toaster , and the 1992 VHS releases of Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken and The Rocketeer (1991).
• This was preserved on numerous Touchstone Home Video VHS reissues that used the below two bumpers described below well into the late 1990s, even with a later FBI warning screen replacing an earlier one.
• Also found on VHS releases from Filipino VHS distributor Regal Home Video, such as Aswang .
• The "Also from Touchstone" and "Feature Presentation" bumpers have also appeared on the 1990 Laserdisc release of Dead Poets Society .

Legacy: Many people in the logo community dub these bumpers the Fly In bumpers for how swiftly they fly in. Nowhere near as familiar as future bumpers.

5th Bumper (1989-2000)

Visuals: On a black background, one of the following bumpers is seen in a gradient gray Helvetica font and with a shadow-effect applied to it:

American Spanish bumpers:

• Ahora en video
• Próximamente en Video
• Atracción Principal

Canadian French bumpers:

• Bientôt disponible sur vidéocassette
• Maintenant disponsible sur vidéocassette
• Notre programme principal
• On the Canadian French VHS release of Aladdin (1992) and the European French SECAM VHS release of Hocus Pocus , the text is in Cooper Black font with the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo underneath it which looks slightly similar to the "Now You Can Own These Hit Titles" bumper from 1992. An unknown announcer is heard saying, "Bientôt disponible sur vidéocassette de Walt Disney Home Video." while the first eight notes of "Great Ovation" play.
• On the Canadian French VHS release of Pocahontas II: Journey to the New World , the text is in a different font.

Audio: Just the first eight notes of "Great Ovation" without a voiceover, an unknown announcer reading the text for the Aladdin variant.

Availability: This was used on most, if not all American Spanish Disney, and Canadian French VHS copies of the 1990s.

• The American Spanish bumpers can be found on U.S. Spanish Disney-associated videocassettes of the period, including the U.S. Spanish VHS releases of Disney films like The Aristocats , Toy Story , and The Fox and the Hound as well as the Canta con Nosotros ( Sing Along Songs ) series.
• The Canadian French bumpers appear on Canadian French Disney-associated videocassettes of the period such as Aladdin (1992) and Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World .

6th Bumper (February 6, 1991-September 18, 1992)

Visuals: Just the 1986-2001 Walt Disney Home Video logo, appearing in full or short (starting from the spark writing the words "WALT DiSNEY" and forming the logo).

• On the 1991 VHS releases of Lantern Hill and Looking for Miracles , the variant of the 1986 logo where "presents" fades in below the logo is used, starting as the spark appears on screen. The bumper crossfades to the home video trailer for Looking for Miracles ( Lantern Hill ) or Lantern Hill ( Looking for Miracles ).
• On the 1992 VHS releases of So Dear to My Heart and The Rescuers , the logo is seen already formed and shines a few times.

Technique: 2D computer animation with camera-controlled animation used in the end, produced by Orlando-based Hal Miles Imagimation Studios.

Audio: Same as the 1986-2001 Walt Disney Home Video logo, but with Brian Cummings slowly saying "Coming from Walt Disney Home Video".

• The early 1991 variant from Lantern Hill and Looking for Miracles features Brian Cummings saying "New, from Walt Disney Home Video!" over the music as the "presents" text fades in.
• On the 1992 variant, a shortened version of the introduction to "Great Ovation" is heard. Mark Elliott says "Now available on videocassette!" ( So Dear to My Heart ) or "And available now on videocassette..." ( The Rescuers ).

Availability: First seen on the 1991 VHS releases of Lantern Hill and Looking for Miracles , the short version is seen on the 1991 Classics VHS release of The Jungle Book (1967), and the full version is seen on the 1991-92 VHS releases of DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp and Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken . More investigation is needed to confirm dates.

7th Bumper (May 3, 1991) (Walt Disney Pictures)

Audio: Mark Elliot announcing the on-screen text.

Availability: Can only be seen on the Walt Disney Classics 1991 print of The Jungle Book .

8th Bumper (September 11, 1991-July 17, 1992)

Visuals: On a blue-black gradient background, the text " NOW AVAILABLE ON HOME VIDEO " in a golden-white gradient, narrow western font (the same font used for the Guns N Roses logo) is shown in the center of the screen. This is the first screen seen in the trailer for Walt Disney's Studio Film Collection.

Trivia: Unlike other IDs, this one was displayed during the first scene of a home video collection trailer, instead of after.

Audio: The first eight bars of an electric guitar/synth/jazz jingle, composed exclusively for the trailer for Walt Disney’s Studio Film Collection.

Availability: Seen at the beginning of the 1991-92 Walt Disney’s Studio Film Collection VHS releases of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea , Candleshoe , In Search of the Castaways , The Love Bug (1968), The Apple Dumpling Gang , Kidnapped , The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men , Old Yeller , The Parent Trap (1961), Freaky Friday (1976), The Three Lives of Thomasina , Treasure Island (1950), and Darby O'Gill and the Little People .

9th Bumper (April 10, 1992-August 17, 1999)

Visuals: On a lilac blue gradient background, one of the following bumpers below is seen in the Laser LET font. All the text have a drop shadow.

• Coming to Videocassette (Mainly found on early printings of The Lion King)
• Coming Soon to Videocassette (This can be found on most copies of the 1995 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Lion King (1994); very early printings use the above bumper)
• Coming to Home Video (This can be found on the 1992 Classics releases of The Rescuers and Beauty and the Beast (1991))
• Coming to Home Video/Coming on Videocassette this Summer (This can be found on the 1992 Classics release of 101 Dalmatians (1961); very early printings don't have this or the below bumper)
• Coming this Fall to Home Video (This can be found on the 1992 Classics releases of 101 Dalmatians (1961) and The Great Mouse Detective )
• Coming Only to Theatres this 1992 Holiday Season (This can be found on the 1992 Classics releases of 101 Dalmatians (1961) and Beauty and the Beast (1991))
• Now on Home Video (This can be found on the 1992 Classics release of Beauty and the Beast (1991))
• Now on Videocassette (This can be found on 1995 printings of the 1994 Masterpiece Collection VHS tapes; earlier copies contain the black/blue "Now Available on Videocassette" bumper)
• Special Previews after our feature from Walt Disney Home Video (This can be found on printings of the 1992 Classics VHS release of Beauty and the Beast (1991) from before July 1992)
• Feature Presentation (This can be found on most animated films of the 90s produced by Disney, as well as some of its live-action products such as 101 Dalmatians (1996))
• On VHS printings of Beauty and the Beast (1991) from May to Early July 1992, the "Special Previews" bumper is shown ( Side Note : The early copies from Late May to Early-Mid June, contains two home video previews for the Classics release of Pinocchio (1940) and 101 Dalmatians (1961) after the movie is over. On the middle copies from late June to early July, it still has the same "Special Previews" bumper, but it led to the editing error of having one preview for the Classics release of 101 Dalmatians (1961) after the movie is done, as a result of the Classics release of Pinocchio (1940) being removed at the end of the movie). Subsequent VHS printings from mid-late July contain the "Special Preview" bumper with one preview at the end of the movie and include a preview for Pinocchio (1940) before the movie and going right after the re-release preview for the cancelled 1993 theatrical re-release of Sleeping Beauty (1959), which was never removed on any printings of the tape).
• These bumpers were relegated exclusively to Disney VHS releases (mostly animated films but some live action films also), never appearing on Touchstone or other Buena Vista VHS tapes from the time period.
• The audio from the "Feature Presentation" bumper is heard at the very end of Cannibals , a track from Neil Cicierega's 2020 album Mouth Dreams .
• On several 1992 Classics VHS releases, the bumper appears underneath the red Walt Disney script from the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo, in place of "HOME VIDEO".
• Very rarely, a dark blue background will be used instead of the standard lilac blue gradient background, and the text is shadowless. This has been spotted with the "Feature Presentation" bumper on the 1992 Classics VHS release of The Rescuers .
• The "Feature Presentation" bumper writes itself in on the screen from left to right.
• Printings of the 1992 Classics VHS release of Beauty and the Beast (1991) from after July 1992 have only one preview following the film, so as such, the "s" in "Previews" is omitted.
• The Feature Presentation bumper was sparsely used from 1997-1998, before being used more often in 1999.

Technique: For most bumpers, it's just a still digital graphic, but the Feature Presentation bumper has cel animation (likely digital). CAPS computer systems may have been used to create the bumper, as Disney was using the system to digitally animate at the time.

Audio: These bumpers usually use the beginning of "Great Ovation", which was edited for the bumpers; some bumpers use different music, described below. Brian Cummings or Mark Elliot announce one of the following:

• Coming to Videocassette: "Coming soon to videocassette."
• Coming Soon to Videocassette: "And now, coming soon to videocassette."
• Coming to Home Video: "Coming from Walt Disney Home Video."
• Coming to Home Video/Coming on Videocassette this Summer: "Stay tuned, for a preview of two new Disney classics coming to home video. Coming on videocassette this summer."
• Coming this Fall to Home Video: "And, coming this Fall to home video..."
• Coming Only to Theatres this 1992 Holiday Season: "Coming only to movie theaters this 1992 holiday season: the newest Disney animated classic, from Walt Disney Pictures."
• Now on Home Video: "Now, on Walt Disney Home Video."
• Now on Videocassette: "Now on videocassette!"
• Special Previews after our feature from Walt Disney Home Video: "Be sure to stay tuned after our feature, for a look at more special previews, from Walt Disney Home Video."
• Feature Presentation: "And now, our feature presentation."
• On the "Coming to Home Video/Coming on Videocassette this Summer" bumper, an "extended" version of the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video theme is heard instead of the normal music.
• On the "Coming this Fall to Home Video" bumper and the version of the "1992 Holiday Season" bumper from the 1992 Classics release of 101 Dalmatians (1961), only the announcer is heard.
• On the "1992 Holiday Season" bumper and the "Special Preview(s)" bumper from the 1992 Classics release of Beauty and the Beast (1991), a triumphant horn fanfare beginning with a trumpet flourish is heard instead of the normal music ("Fanfare to the Modern Man 3" by Richard Hill, from the Bruton Music library, album BRG 09 - The Will to Win ).
• On the "Now on Videocassette" bumper, the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video theme is heard instead of the normal music.
• Coming to Home Video: On the 1992 Classics VHS release of The Rescuers , the shortened version of the opening to "Great Ovation" is heard and Mark Elliot says, "Coming soon, from Walt Disney Home Video.".
• Special Previews after our feature from Walt Disney Home Video: On the single-preview variant, Mark Elliot says, "Be sure to stay tuned after our feature, for a look at another special preview, from Walt Disney Home Video."
• A variant tailored for Disney tapes which open with the Walt Disney Company Intro (described in greater detail further down this page) had Beau Weaver announcing, "Thanks for joining us for this special preview. And now, our feature presentation!". The music's volume is lowered in this version. It was first used on the 1996 VHS release of Toy Story and was last used on the 1998 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of Hercules (1997).
• On the 1992 Classics VHS release of Beauty and the Beast (1991), the first note of the music is cut.
• From the 1997 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of Fun and Fancy Free through Hercules (1997), half of the first note of the 1996 variant is cut.

Availability: The iconic "Feature Presentation" bumper was the most prevalent of them all, the other bumpers being found only on a few early tapes, with the Coming Soon and Now on Videocassette bumpers being found more around 1995. By 1996, most tapes with this bumper have Flashbang or Walt Disney Company intro bumpers.

• The "Feature Presentation" bumper (and the entire bumper series) first appeared on the 1992 Classics VHS release of 101 Dalmatians (1961) and was used for most of Disney's animated films at the time. It was used unaltered on all subsequent Classics and Masterpiece Collection titles, until the updated version was introduced on the 1996 VHS release of Toy Story . The original unaltered version returned on 1999 Masterpiece Collection releases that lacked a custom opening, as well as a few direct-to-video specials like The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue , which is rather odd considering that the other bumpers used on VHS releases from this time were based off the Flashbang/Zoom In bumpers. The final VHS tapes to use this were Madeline: Lost in Paris , Belle’s Tales of Friendship and Hercules: Zero to Hero (the latter two were released on the same day).

Legacy: Fondly remembered among VHS collectors and Disney enthusiasts, these bumpers' eye-grabbing color schemes and fonts surprised some and captivated others. Dubbed the "Handwriting" bumpers by most of the logo community, these were the first successful attempts at Disney bumpers using consistent branding, preceding the below bumpers by one month.

10th Bumper (May 27, 1992-October 28, 1994; April 7, 1995; 1998)

• Coming from Touchstone Home Video at $19.99 S.R.P. ("Touchstone Home Video" is done using a still version of their logo; this can be found exclusively on the VHS screener of Sister Act . On the Canadian screener VHS of the film, "$19.99" is replaced with "$22.99".)
• Previews (This can be found on the VHS screeners of Super Mario Bros. (1993), Hocus Pocus and The Crow )
• Feature Program
• Due to an editing error, the "Also Coming on Videocassette" bumper at the end of the demo VHS of Medicine Man precedes two repeats of trailers that were already seen at the beginning of the tape.
• The "A Special Message after our feature" bumper is unique among Disney bumpers for not using the term "preview" to refer to post-movie content. Oddly, this bumper was used on the original 1994 VHS of Strictly Ballroom , which had two previews at the end.
• The trailers for titles that were available for rental but not supposed to be properly purchased were preceded by the "Coming to Videocassette", "Coming to Video this Fall", "Now Available on Videocassette", and "Rent this New Release" bumpers.
• The trailers for titles that could be properly purchased were preceded by the "Own this Big Hit", "Look for this Hit Movie", "Hit Movies you can own", "Own your favorite Hit Movies", "Look for these Action Hits", and "Now Available to own on Videocassette" bumpers.
• These bumpers were mostly relegated to Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures VHS releases, along with most live-action Disney VHS tapes from the time period.
• The color scheme varies slightly for each bumper.
• On the "Feature Presentation" bumper, the text swiftly zooms in and connects.
• On early VHS tapes, most of the outlining of "Feature Presentation" is blacked out and the text is tinted in white. This variant debuted on the 1992 VHS reissues from Walt Disney Home Video and made its final appearances on the 1992 VHS release of Sister Act and the 1993-94 VHS reissues of Paradise , Deceived , Billy Bathgate , The Doctor , and Anne of Green Gables . The standard version of the bumper debuted on the 1992 VHS release of Encino Man .
• On the "Feature Program" bumper, the text simply zooms in, and is in a different, wider, lighter Clearface font.
• On the "Now Available to own on Videocassette" bumper, the text is in a different, bolder Clarendon font.
• A sub-variant of the "Now Available on Videocassette" and "Own this Big Hit" bumpers features a still version of the 1993 "WDHV Presents" logo, which fades to the ID.
• On the 1993 VHS reissues of Paradise , Deceived , Billy Bathgate , and The Doctor , the "Hit Movies you can own" ID zooms in like the "Feature Program" ID, except at a slower pace, and the text looks thicker and includes a drop shadow.
• Demo VHS tapes used a Korinna font for the bumpers instead. Strangely, the 1994 demo VHS of The Joy Luck Club used the normal "Coming to Videocassette" variant instead.
• On the "Stay Tuned for more great scenes from The Very Best Of The Ed Sullivan Show after our feature" bumper, most of the text is light blue, and "The Very Best of The Ed Sullivan Show" is yellow.
• On the "Nationally Advertised Availability April 10th" bumper, the text is light blue.
• On the demo VHS releases of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and True Identity , the text is a dark purple color.
• On the demo VHS releases of Strangers in Good Company and Ernest Scared Stupid , the text is in a lighter shade of purple.
• On the "Coming from Touchstone Home Video at $19.99/$22.99 S.R.P." bumper, the text is the same dark blue color as the text in the Touchstone Home Video logo. The text also resembles that of Touchstone's logo typeface.
• The demo tapes of Super Mario Bros. (1993), Hocus Pocus and The Crow feature a special bumper with the movie's logo on top, and "Behind the Scenes" below it (in a different font depending on the tape), which cross-fades to the "Previews" bumper.
• Many different countries have bumpers that look like these, including Turkey, the United Kingdom,Bulgaria and Croatia.
• The "Now Available on Videocassette" bumper is silent, lacking the usual announcer and music. It also stays on screen for about three or four additional seconds before fading out.
• The "After our feature more great Previews" bumper stays on screen for about three or four additional seconds before fading out.
• On the 1994 VHS release of Muppet Sing-Alongs: It's Not Easy Being Green a dramatic trumpet theme plays, the words are replaced with "Stay Tuned..." and an announcer says "Stay tuned after the show to find out about more great Muppet entertainment". The words fade out and "Feature Program" fades in, then the announcer says "And now...Get ready to sing with all your favorite Muppets."
• In between cartoons on these tapes, "Stay Tuned..." is seen instead of "Feature Program", and the announcer says "Stay tuned for more Halloween fun!" instead.
• On Disney's Happy Holidays with Darkwing Duck and Goofy , an image of a Christmas tree is seen with the white words "Feature Program" on a starry background, similar to that of the Walt Disney Mini-Classics logo.
• On Spot VHS tapes, it takes place on a white background, and with Spot looking at the left side of the screen at the bottom-right corner of the screen, at the upper left-hand corner of the screen is the words "Feature Program" in black and in the Times New Roman font.
• On Fraggle Rock VHS tapes, "Feature Program" is seen as multi-colored text on the bottom right of the screen with a stone background and the "Fraggle Rock with the Muppets" logo on the top left corner.
• On most Alvin and the Chipmunks VHS tapes, the text is in a Revue font and it takes place in Dave's camera room.
• On some Alvin and the Chipmunks VHS tapes and Parachute Express: Come Sing with Us , it takes place on the Jay Ward Buena Vista background, and the text is in a different gold font.
• On Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad VHS tapes, it takes place on a background like that of the VHS opening title card, and the text "Feature Program" is in a font like that of the episode opening cards following the intro.

Technique: 2D computer animation for the FP bumper and a few other bumpers, and for most, digital graphics.

Audio: Unlike the previous bumpers, the edited version of the introduction of "Great Ovation" is only used on the "Coming to Videocassette", "Coming Soon on Videocassette", "Coming from Touchstone Home Video & Hollywood Pictures Home Video", "Feature Presentation", "Now Available to own on Videocassette" and "Also Coming on Videocassette" bumpers. The two "Special Preview(s)" bumpers used "Fanfare to the Modern Man 3" from the previous ID. Early Feature Presentation bumpers used the unaltered version of the Great Ovation intro. All other bumpers used either the 1991 WDHV logo theme or a slowed down version of the theme. Brian Cummings announces one of the following:

• Coming to Videocassette: "Coming soon on videocassette."
• Now Available on Videocassette: "Now on videocassette!"
• Own Your Favorite Hit Movies: "Now you can own your favorite hit movies!"

• Special Preview: "Stay tuned after our feature." (Recycled from a UK/Irish "Stay Tuned" bumper)
• Look for this Hit Movie: "Look for this ownable hit, from Touchstone Home Video."
• Look for these Action Hits: "Look for these action hits, from Hollywood Pictures Home Video."
• Stay Tuned after our feature...: "Stay tuned after our feature, for a special music video."
• Coming to Video this Fall: "Coming to video this Fall."
• Rent this New Release: "Now you can rent this new release, from Walt Disney Home Video!"
• Now Available to own on Videocassette: "Now available to own on videocassette." (This voiceover was later used for the 1994 bumper version of this bumper.)
• Nationally Advertised Availability April 10th: "Now on videocassette!"
• Stay Tuned for more great scenes from The Very Best Of The Ed Sullivan Show After Our Feature: "Stay tuned after our feature."
• Coming to Home Video: "Coming from Touchstone Home Video."
• Stay Tuned for other exciting Previews: "Stay tuned for other exciting previews following our feature presentation."
• Also Coming from Touchstone Home Video & Hollywood Pictures Home Video: "Coming soon on videocassette!"
• Also coming on Videocassette: "Coming on videocassette."
• Preview $45 Million Dollar Box Office Hit: "And now, here's a preview of the action-adventure hit that grossed $45 million at the box office, coming this August from Hollywood Pictures Home Video!"

• Also Coming on Videocassette: "Coming on videocassette."

• Behind the Scenes / Previews: "Before our feature begins, here's a look behind the scenes of [NAME OF MOVIE], plus some previews of soon-to-be released videos!"
• Feature Program: "And now, our feature program."
• On Malaysian, Pakistani, Indonesian, Filipino, and Singaporean VHS releases, the "Feature Presentation" bumper is higher pitched than usual. The "Now Available on Videocassette" bumper on these releases is silent.
• On the "A Special Message" bumper, only the WDHV music is heard.
• On the two bumpers from the demo release of Frankenweenie (1984) as well as the "Coming to Home Video", "Stay Tuned for other exciting Previews", "Also Coming from Touchstone Home Video & Hollywood Pictures Home Video", "Preview $45 Million Dollar Box Office Hit" and "Behind the Scenes / Previews" bumpers, only the announcer is heard.
• After the behind the scenes segment on the demo tapes of Super Mario Bros. (1993), Hocus Pocus and The Crow , the "Previews" bumper reappears, but is silent.
• On the 1992 VHS release of A Woman Under the Influence , the first tape to include this bumper, the announcer says, "Ask your video dealer about these hit titles from Touchstone Home Video.". This could be a direct rip from a Fly-In bumper.
• On the 1993 Studio Film Collection releases of The Shaggy Dog (1959), That Darn Cat! (1965), Herbie Rides Again , and Escape to Witch Mountain (1975), only the music is heard.
• On later printings of the 1994 VHS release of The Three Musketeers (1993), the "Great Ovation" audio from the 1990 "Now On Videocassette" bumper is heard instead of the 1991 WDHV theme.
• On the 1993 VHS releases of The Ernest Green Story , Perfect Harmony , Back Home , A Friendship in Vienna , Not Quite Human 2 , and Still Not Quite Human , Cummings’ voiceover is calmer.
• On rental releases of the 1992 VHS of Father of the Bride , the opening notes of "Great Ovation" are low-pitched and slower to accommodate the length of the voiceover. A different, deep-voiced announcer (believed to be Grant Goodeve) says, "Don't miss these exciting upcoming releases that you'll find at your favorite video rental store."
• On 1992-93 VHS tapes, Brian Cummings says "Coming soon on videocassette." in a calmer voice than usual. This version first appeared on the original 1992 VHS of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and last appeared on the 1993 VHS of Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey .
• Fall 1993 VHS releases have Brian Cummings saying "Coming soon on videocassette!" in a more energetic voice, reused from the 1989-92 bumpers. Although this voiceover was first heard on the 1993 VHS release of Aspen Extreme , it began regular use on the 1993 VHS releases of Swing Kids and Ethan Frome (which were released on the same day), and was last heard on the 1993 VHS releases of Guilty as Sin and Super Mario Bros.
• The final version of the voiceover was used from late 1993 to August 1994 (and on the Disney Princess Collection releases from 1995), and had Brian Cummings saying "Coming soon to videocassette." in a similar tone to the previous bumper. First heard on the 1993 VHS release of A Far Off Place , the voiceover was last heard on the 1994 VHS releases of Like Water for Chocolate and Three Colors: Blue , which were also the last releases to use this bumper.
• On 1994 demo tapes, Brian Cummings says, "Coming soon to videocassette."
• Sometimes, Brian Cummings’ voiceover is slightly delayed and he says, "Don't miss owning this big hit." Shown on the 1993 VHS re-prints of Honey I Blew Up the Kid , Newsies , Consenting Adults , and Sarafina! .
• On the 1993 VHS reissue of Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend , Cummings adds, "...from Touchstone Home Video."
• On the 1993 VHS releases of Not Quite Human , Chips the War Dog , and Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss , Brian Cummings says, "Now you can own this big hit!"
• On the 1993 VHS reprints of Paradise , Deceived , Billy Bathgate , and The Doctor , Cummings adds, "...from Touchstone Home Video!"
• On the 1993 VHS reissue of Adventures in Babysitting (1987), the introduction of "Great Ovation" is heard instead.
• On the 1993 VHS release of A Stranger Among Us (the first release to use this bumper), Cummings says, "After our feature, stay tuned for more great previews."
• On the original 1992 VHS release of Father of the Bride (the first new release to use this bumper), Grant Goodeve says, "And now our feature presentation." on the first version of the bumper.
• On the 1992 VHS release of So Dear to My Heart , the original Great Ovation audio that accompanied the 1989 Feature Presentation bumper is heard on the first version of the bumper.
• Brian Cummings says "And now, for our feature presentation!" on both versions of the bumper; first seen on 1992 VHS reissues from Walt Disney Home Video, and last seen on the 1993-94 VHS releases of Indian Summer and Anne of Green Gables . It also appears on Malaysian, Singaporean, and Filipino VHS releases.
• The second version of the bumper introduced a different voiceover where Brian Cummings says "And now, our feature presentation." Although this was first heard on reprints of the 1993 VHS releases of Consenting Adults , Sarafina! , Captain Ron , The Mighty Ducks , and The Distinguished Gentleman , it didn't begin regular use until A Far Off Place later that year. Its last appearances were on 1994 VHS releases from the Family Film Collection line.

Availability: Most sightings are delegated to Disney subsidiaries. Demo versions are much harder to find. However, this was used in most live action Disney movies. The mixed case Also Coming on Videocassette variant and Coming from Touchstone Home Video $19.99 SRP variant were recently found around late August.

• The demo versions of the bumpers first appeared on a February 1992 Buena Vista sampler demo tape, which was excerpted for the demo VHS release of Frankenweenie (1984). They were further polished a month later, on the 1992 demo VHS releases of Father of the Bride and Truly, Madly, Deeply . Starting with the 1992 demo VHS releases of Straight Talk and Newsies , all tapes with the demo bumpers (with the exception of Sister Act ) would just use the "Coming Soon on Videocassette" and "Feature Presentation" bumpers.
• In the U.K. and Ireland, this particular bumper variant continued to be used until 2004, as described below.
• The "Now Available on Videocassette" bumper was slightly more sporadic, primarily appearing on reprints of VHS tapes like the 1994 reprint of The Three Musketeers . It was also used on 1994 Masterpiece Collection titles, preceding a Handwriting bumper.
• The "Feature Program" bumper made its debut on the 1992 VHS release of A Classic Christmas from The Ed Sullivan Show , and on sell-thru reprints of the 1991 VHS of Mr. Destiny (due to an editing error). It made a comeback in 1998, appearing on early printings of the 1998 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Black Cauldron as well as the 1998 VHS releases of The Brave Little Toaster , Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World , The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (despite them being feature-length movies), The Spirit of Mickey , and both volumes of The Little Twins released by Buena Vista; these titles also used the Flashbang IDs.
• Both the "Coming to Videocassette" and "Now Available on Videocassette" bumpers appeared on the 1995 Disney Princess Collection VHS releases, released almost a year after the Flashbang bumpers were introduced. These releases also included the "Feature Program" bumper described above.
• In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, the "Now Available on Videocassette", "After our feature more great Previews", and "Feature Presentation" bumpers were still used on VHS releases until 2001, such as Sleeping Beauty , Toy Story , 101 Dalmatians: Dalmatian Christmas , Disney Sing-Along Songs: Honor to Us All , and The 13th Warrior .

Legacy: Although nowhere near as recognized as the Handwriting bumpers, this set surprised many, and many people shared that this was a source of nightmares as a child. These bumpers were dubbed the Black/Blue bumpers by some in the logo community.

11th Bumper (May 27, 1992; November 15, 1992)

Visuals: Just either the 1991 Hollywood Pictures Home Video logo playing at warp speed or the unaltered 1990 Buena Vista Home Video logo.

Availability: Both variants appear on Touchstone Home Video’s 1992 rental VHS release of Father of the Bride , while the latter can also be seen on Buena Vista Home Video’s 1992 VHS release of A Classic Christmas from The Ed Sullivan Show and sell-thru reprints of the 1991 VHS of Mr. Destiny .

• Previews (Only seen on demo tapes released by Dimension and Warren Miller)
• On the earliest VHS tapes to have these bumpers, the "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper appears as the last bumper before the "Feature Presentation" bumper; later in 1994, this was redone so the Theaters bumper would be first. Tapes with this bumper order include the original 1994 VHS releases of When a Man Loves a Woman and I Love Trouble .
• Rarely, these bumpers would precede a trailer for a non-Disney film or TV show. This occurs on the 1997 VHS of Supercop with a trailer for First Strike (released by New Line; likely included because Jackie Chan stars in both), and on the 1999 rental VHS of Life is Beautiful with a commercial for The King of Queens (which aired on CBS and is owned by Sony Pictures).
• The "Coming Soon to Videocassette", "Coming Soon to Rent on Video", "Coming soon on Video and DVD", "Now Available on Videocassette", "Now Available to Rent on Video" and "Now Available on Video and DVD" bumpers are for rental releases. The "Coming Soon to Own on Videocassette", "Now Available to Own on Videocassette", "Now Available to Own on Video and DVD", and "Now Available to Own on DVD" bumpers are for retail releases.
• Appears on most home video releases from Disney and its subsidiaries, but was mostly used on VHS, as most DVDs from 1997-99 have no previews.
• The Feature Presentation bumper appears on most tapes of the era except for some which use the Handwriting Feature Presentation bumper, most of which were animated films.
• On the 1995 VHS release of Street Sharks: The Gene Slamming Begins , the "Now Available to Own on Videocassette" bumper variant abruptly starts just before the second flash occurs. This is likely due to an editing error. The "Coming Soon to Own on Videocassette" bumper fades in silently at the end of the trailer for Sailor Moon on the same tape, which is simply the English intro to the show.
• On the 1996 VHS release of A Kid in King Arthur's Court , the "Now Available to Own on Videocassette" bumper silently fades in. This appeared before a trailer for Gordy .
• On both of the Disney Interactive bumpers, the font is slightly different.
• On the Video & DVD, "Feature Program", and rental bumpers, the text zooms in and the font is Flange Light.
• On the "Previews" bumper, no flash accompanies the text zooming out.
• The "Now Appearing" bumper is in Flange Light and a still image.
• The "Stay Tuned after the Feature" bumper, after a few seconds, fades to the "Feature Presentation" bumper, with the blue background still in place.
• On the Crow bumpers, the Crow symbol zooms out, and after the second flash, the text appears.
• Earlier releases had the text already white when it zooms out.
• On the 1995 VHS release of Gargoyles: The Movie , the yellow-orange gradient text is on a black background, and Jim Cummings says "And now, for our Feature Presentation."
• On the 1997 VHS release of Phenomenon , John Travolta says, "Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy Phenomenon ."
• On the 1997 VHS releases of Schoolhouse Rock! , the yellow and red text is on a white background.
• On 1998 VHS releases from Vol. 8 of Walt Disney Film Classics (such as Big Red and The Legend of Lobo ), the bumper as it appears following the aforementioned Stay Tuned after the Feature bumper is used. The result is the text already in place on the blue background and the ID being still; with the music and announcement retained.
• On the 1999 VHS release of Doug's 1st Movie, Mark Elliot says, "And now, it's time for Doug's 1st Movie!".The logo for the said film then appears.
• On Disney's Love Tales tapes, the text is in a pink Disney's Love Tales font.
• On some Sailor Moon tapes, the text is in a black-rose gradient font, and set on a bright, bubbly background mirroring the episode title card to a Sailor Moon episode. Other tapes used the "Feature Presentation" bumper.
• On Disney's Sweetheart Stories , the text is in a pink Disney's Sweetheart Stories font on a lavender fabric background.
• On Timon and Pumbaa tapes, it takes place on a green background, and the text is in an orange jungle-like font.
• On Disney's Doug , it has Doug holding a giant pencil on a white background.
• On Bone Chillers , it has Edgar Allan Poe High School surrounded by bats at night.
• On Quack Pack , it has Donald Duck sitting on a green chair, staring at the viewer.

Technique: For the Flashbang bumpers, 2D CGI. For the Zoom In bumpers, a simple zoom in effect (Likely CGI). The Now Appearing bumper was just a still created with a computer.

Audio: A whooshing sound when the first flash occurs, followed by an orchestral 'crash' when the second flash occurs which morphs into a quiet note. The announcer, Brian Cummings, announces the following bumpers:

• Coming Soon to Theaters: "Coming soon to theatres."
• Now in Theaters: "Now in theatres."
• Coming Soon to Own on Videocassette: "Coming soon to own on videocassette."
• Now Available to Own on Videocassette: "Now available to own on videocassette."
• Coming Soon to Videocassette: "Coming soon to videocassette."
• Now Available on Videocassette: "Now available on videocassette."
• Now Available on CD & Cassette: "Now available on CD and cassette."
• Look for This Soundtrack: "Look for this great soundtrack."

• Coming Soon to Rent on Video: "Coming soon to rent on video."
• Stay Tuned after the Feature: "Stay tuned after the feature for more great previews. And now, our feature presentation."
• Previews: "Join us, for the following previews!"
• The audio was re-orchestrated for the two Disney Interactive bumpers. The "whoosh" at the start is less muffled and fades out quicker, and a choral note replaces the orchestral crash / quiet note.
• On the 1998 VHS release of G.I. Jane , during the "Now Available on CD & Cassette" bumper, the announcer says, "Now available on CD and cassette from Hollywood Records."
• On the "Zoom In" bumpers as well as the "Previews" bumper, an edited version of the intro to "Great Ovation" is heard. Its usage here marks the last time the cue had ever appeared on any Buena Vista bumper.
• On the "Feature Program" bumper, the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video jingle is used.
• The "Now Appearing" bumper is silent.
• The music is extended from its normal length to match the longer announcements, featuring a longer quiet note and synthesizer notes echoing throughout the remaining duration of the bumper.
• On the Crow variant, Brian Cummings says, "Stay tuned after the feature for the last on-camera interview with Brandon Lee, which includes never-before-seen footage. And now, our feature presentation."
• On the Crow: City of Angels variant, Brian Cummings says, "Stay tuned after the feature for a special Brandon Lee tribute, which includes never-before-seen footage. And now, see what's available on CD and cassette."
• This variant also appears on the 1997 VHS releases of Scream and Trainspotting , but without "very".
• On the 1995 VHS releases of Tall Tale and Camilla , Brian Cummings says, "Stay tuned after the feature for another great preview. And now, our feature presentation."

Availability: It can be seen on almost all Buena Vista VHS tapes issued during the mid-to-late-90s.

• The bumpers premiered on the original 1994 VHS release of The Crow , and began widespread usage on four titles issued on the same day, October 12: Touchstone's The Inkwell and Golden Gate , Hollywood's Holy Matrimony , and Miramax's Mother's Boys .
• The "Feature Program" variant was seen on the direct-to-video Beauty and the Beast sequels, the original VHS of Disney Sing-Along Songs: Happy Haunting Party at Disneyland , and the 1998 reprints of Winnie the Pooh: Frankenpooh and Spookable Pooh .
• The "Now In Theaters" variant was seen on rental printings of The Crow , and later appeared on VHS releases like Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers , Supercop , Brassed Off , 54 , and Sing a Song with Tigger .
• The last proper appearance of the Flashbang bumpers on a high-profile release was on the 1999 VHS of Instinct , though they continued to be used until 2001 on Warren Miller Entertainment VHS releases such as Ride and Fifty , on the 2000 VHS release of Sing a Song with Tigger and reprints of Winnie the Pooh compilation videos from that year, and on Dimension Home Video releases into 2003 such as the first two Scary Movie films, Scream 3 , Confessions of Sorority Girls , The Accidental Spy , The Crow: Salvation , Dracula 2000 , Halloween: Resurrection , early printings of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back , and the final release with them in general, Mimic 3: Sentinel (higher profile Dimension releases - the first two Spy Kids films, The Others , and later prints of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - instead used the Filmreel bumpers).
• On DVD, the "Now Available to Own on Video and DVD" bumper can be seen on the original 1999 DVD release of Enemy of the State (three times, appearing in-between trailers).
• The "Previews" bumper was exclusively seen on demo VHS releases from Dimension and Warren Miller, taking the place of the corresponding Filmreel bumper.
• The "Now Available on CD & Cassette" bumper also appears on all VHS and Laserdisc releases of Armageddon .

If you find any VHS/DVD copy with this bumper, why not add it to the table? (INSERT TABLE HERE)

Legacy: This set of bumpers is known for its omnipresence on many releases from both Disney and their subsidiaries, as well as their startling nature and sporadic appearances on tapes that otherwise have different sets of bumpers. The zoom-in bumpers are considered an improvement, but some don't like that it uses "Great Ovation" in the place of the original music. Many people in the logo community dub the zoom out bumpers the Flashbang bumpers, and the ones that zoom in the Zoom-In bumpers.

21st Bumper (March 3, 1995) (Walt Disney Pictures)

Visuals: Just the words " C OMING T HIS S UMMER F ROM W ALT D ISNEY P ICTURES ", " C OMING N EXT S UMMER F ROM W ALT D ISNEY P ICTURES " or " C OMING J UNE 23 , 1995 F ROM W ALT D ISNEY P ICTURES " in a turquoise or cerulean color. Both variants appear before and after a trailer for Pocahontas , respectively.

Audio: None on the opening variant; the end of the song "Colors of the Wind" from the Pocahontas trailer on the closing variant.

Availability: This can only be seen on the 1995 Masterpiece Collection VHS releases of The Lion King (1994).

22nd Bumper (April 24, 1996-February 1, 2000) (Walt Disney Pictures/Walt Disney Home Video/Disney Interactive)

Visuals: Opening with a clip of the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo (the 1990 variant, specifically), beginning when the "WALT DiSNEY" text is revealed, it goes into a montage of the following clips is shown:

• The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996): Clopin laughing and tossing down a ball of smoke.
• Toy Story : Woody and Buzz "falling with style."
• Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure attraction: Indy swings on a rope as a rolling boulder races toward the guests.
• The exterior of the Palace Theatre in New York City, advertising the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast , followed by a moment from the show itself.
• A little boy and his father watching television, the screen showing an ABC bumper in motion (which is described here ).
• Bambi : Bambi meeting Flower.
• Hercules (1997): Herc awkwardly gesturing.
• Scenes from the Hunchback of Notre Dame Festival of Fools stage show at Disneyland and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction at the Magic Kingdom.

Afterwards, the introduction fades into one of the first three bumpers listed below:

• Coming to Theaters: The El Capitan Theatre with the curtains raising, revealing a screen with the 1990 updated version of the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo. Tinkerbell flies in and waves her wand in animation reused from other bumpers of the time to start the preview for the movie. The screen on the movie theater zooms in to take up the entire screen, and the trailer begins.
• Coming to Videocassette: A TV in a living room shows a scene from Fantasia with Mickey Mouse putting the sorcerer's hat on, which cuts to a boy and a girl watching the TV happily. The TV is then shown once more, this time with the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video logo on the screen, which zooms in to start the trailer.
• Walt Disney World: An overview shot of Epcot, side views of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and the Walt Disney World Monorail near Spaceship Earth. It ends with the aforementioned animation of Tinkerbell waving her wand to transition to the ad.
• Disney Interactive: A clip of a kid playing a Disney Interactive Animated Storybook game. Tinkerbell flies over and changes the computer screen to the Disney Interactive logo, which flashes on a moving purple space background with black text. The logo is then seen as a still on a black background with white text before the ad starts.
• Feature Presentation: Just the standard Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo without any modifications. ( Side Note : The lilac blue Feature Presentation bumper does not appear on the 1996 VHS releases of The Aristocats or Oliver & Company , as both VHS releases have the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo with Beau Weaver saying, "And now, our feature presentation".)
• This bumper appears on mostly popular VHS releases from WDHV at the time, such as the ones with the Handwriting and Flash-bang bumper sets.
• The Coming to Theaters portion of Bumper B uses stock footage from the 1991 Disney Channel documentary Be Our Guest: The Making of Beauty and the Beast , hosted by David Ogden Stiers, the voice of Cogsworth.

Variants (Bumper A):

• Pocahontas: Pocahontas and Meeko go down a waterfall on their canoe.
• A shot of the entrance of the Magic Kingdom in Florida.
• An alternate take of the same moment from the Broadway stage production of Beauty and the Beast .
• A mother watching TV with her two children.
• A rapid-fire montage of Cinderella Castle with fireworks in the sky, Buzz unloading his wings in Toy Story , the "Be Our Guest" sequence from Beauty and the Beast , guests going down the final drop on Splash Mountain, and a clip from the final scene of The Lion King (1994).
• September 25, 1996: On the 1996 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of Oliver & Company , the Pocahontas clip was replaced by a clip from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) (of Quasimodo sliding down a rain gutter, which was also on the 1996 VHS of Toy Story ), the alternate take of the same moment from the Broadway stage production of Beauty and the Beast was replaced by the exterior of the Palace Theatre in New York City that advertise the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast , and the clip of the mother watching TV with her two children was replaced by the clip of the little boy and his father watching TV together.
• October 29, 1996: Another early variant is seen on the 1996 VHS release of Toy Story . Here, instead of the clips from Bambi (1942) and Hercules (1997), clips from Pocahontas (of Pocahontas and Meeko going downstream in their canoe, a different shot rather than the same shot that was shown on the 1996 VHS of The Aristocats (1970)) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) (of Quasimodo sliding down a rain gutter, as shown on the 1996 VHS of Oliver & Company ) were used. The ABC logo on the TV screen is a still of the logo instead of the animated version seen in later versions of the intro.
• January 5, 1999: On the first, recalled printing of the 1999 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Rescuers , Beau Weaver simply says, "You can always count on something new and exciting from Disney!" at the end of the bumper without adding anything over the following bumper.

Variants (Bumper B):

• On the former release, a brief scene of a man's hand drawing character designs for Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) is seen on the theater screen before the bumper, and the Masterpiece Collection theme is instead replaced with a dreamy string / woodwind tune common on other pre-preview bumpers on Disney tapes from this period, followed by the music for the trailer.
• On the 1998 Masterpiece Collection VHS releases of Hercules (1997) and Peter Pan (1953), the announcer says, "Join us now for a special preview from Walt Disney Pictures!"
• A German version exists.
• On the former title, the music is the beginning of the Oliver & Company song, "Why Should I Worry?". The announcer is still heard. This was most likely due to an editing error, as Oliver & Company was not being advertised.
• On the 1997 VHS release of 101 Dalmatians (1996), Beau Weaver says, "Enjoy all the magic at home with this great Disney movie coming to video!".
• On the 1997 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), instead of the WDHV logo, the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo is seen taking up the entire screen.
• On the 1997 VHS release of 101 Dalmatians (1996), instead of the WDHV logo, Winnie the Pooh with the words "Once Upon a Time..." above him is seen.
• On the 1998 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of Lady and the Tramp (1955), instead of the WDHV logo appearing on the screen, the first scene of the trailer for The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story (a scene of Colonel Hathi shouting) is seen.
• On the 2000 VHS releases of Tarzan (1999) and Toy Story (1995), the 1999 version of the bumper is seen as usual, then the 1991 WDHV logo fades in to the Disney DVD logo, which shines and zooms out of the TV screen. Beau Weaver says, "Enjoy all the magic at home with these great Disney movies coming to video and Disney DVD!"
• On the original 1996 VHS release of Toy Story and the 1997 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), the first two clips in the "Walt Disney World" bumper are of the Main Street Electrical Parade and the Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom. Beau Weaver says, "And now, Walt Disney World celebrates its 25th anniversary!".
• On the 1996 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Aristocats , Tinkerbell is mirrored from her usual position. Beau Weaver says, "And, here's what's new from Disney Interactive!".

Technique: A mix of live action and 2D animation. For the Toy Story "Falling with Style" scene, CGI produced at Pixar Animation Studios.

Audio (Bumper A): The 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo theme by John Debney, followed by the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection theme (which plays into whichever bumper follows the intro). While this plays, Beau Weaver says the following: "From magical movies, to unforgettable adventures, from the thrill of the theater, to the comfort of your home, you can always count on something new and exciting from Disney."

Audio (Bumper B):

• Coming to Theaters: The last few notes of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo music, fading into the music for the trailer. Beau Weaver is heard saying, "Join us for a special preview from Walt Disney Pictures."
• Coming to Videocassette: Either a dreamy string / woodwind tune if the bumper is seen on its own, or the end of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo music if it's connected to the Walt Disney Company Intro as the second bumper. Beau Weaver says, "Enjoy all the magic at home with these great Disney movies coming to video!"
• Walt Disney World: The end of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo music, along with Beau Weaver saying, "Now, here's a special message from Walt Disney World.". This was shown on the 1996 VHS of The Aristocats .
• Disney Interactive: A gentle calypso theme that would later be used on the ABC bumpers. Beau Weaver says either "Let's see what's in store for you, from Disney Interactive." from the 1996 VHS Oliver & Company or "There's always something exciting for everyone from Disney Interactive!" from the 1996 VHS of Toy Story to the early copies of the 1997 VHS of The Jungle Book (1967).
• Feature Presentation: The full Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection logo theme and Beau Weaver saying, "And now, our feature presentation." during the last few seconds.

Audio Variants (Bumper A):

• The prototype versions that was seen on both releases of The Aristocats and Oliver & Company used a slightly different announcement: "From movies, to magical vacations, from the theater, to your living room, there's always something new and exciting from Disney."
• On the original 1996-97 VHS releases of Toy Story and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), the music is accompanied by extra sound effects, including a "poof" sound when Clopin throws his smoke ball, a rumbling sound for the boulder as it rolls, and the little boy giggling.
• On the 1999-2000 VHS releases of A Bug's Life , The Great Mouse Detective , Toy Story , and Tarzan (1999) (the last Disney VHS release to use the Walt Disney Company intro), the 1992 bass-distorted version of the Walt Disney Classics theme is heard instead of the Masterpiece Collection theme during the second half of the bumper. Beau Weaver's announcement was also re-recorded. This was possibly due to the fact that the Masterpiece Collection was soon ending at the time.

Availability: It can be seen on WDHV tapes with the Walt Disney Company Intro. The "Feature Presentation" bumper is rare, as most tapes instead used the standard 1991, 1994, or 1999 IDs, but it appears exclusively on the 1996 Masterpiece Collection releases of The Aristocats and Oliver & Company . The "Coming to Theaters" clip on also appears on the 1999 60th Anniversary VHS release of Pinocchio (1940). These bumpers don't appear on their DVDs as they have no previews or use the Filmreel bumpers instead.

Legacy: A thrilling montage through the world of Disney, this is a nostalgic favorite among many due to its appearances on many famous titles throughout the 1990s, and are a refreshing change of pace from the previous bumpers. These bumpers brought some much-needed consistency to Disney branding; the variations of each bumper are very slight compared to the bumper sets on prior Disney releases. Sadly, an original Feature Presentation bumper was not made for these bumpers since these titles either used the Masterpiece Collection logo (appears on The Aristocats and Oliver & Company ) or the 1991, 1994 and 1999 FP bumpers. The bumpers are often dubbed the Walt Disney Company Intro bumpers.

23rd Bumper (March 1997)

Visuals: On a grey gradient background, 2 abstract marquee shapes fold inwards towards the top of the screen, with the one on the left in a cerulean color and the one on the right in a cream -orange gradient color. The 2 meet together, for the former over and off-set over the latter, and the text " HOLLYWOOD HITS " flashes in a custom bold font, stacked on top of itself with an curve, and a yellow filmstrip appears wrapping around the marquee, with a section marked with " '97 " on it. Below it, a filmstrip with yellow cells waves in from the right, with " Feature Presentation " on it.

Technique: No video footage as of far, however it is speculated to be CGI.

Audio: A funky beat plays as Brian Cummings says, "Now our feature presentation, part of the biggest rental program ever, Hollywood Hits 1997".

Availability: Seen on demo VHS releases of films intended for the Hollywood Hits '97 rental program, including those of Ransom , Swingers , and Adrenalin: Fear the Rush .

24th Bumper (November 11, 1997) (Walt Disney Records)

Visuals: Just the words " Now Available on CD & Cassette " on promotional art of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas .

Audio: A male announcer, who also provided the voiceover for UAV / Sterling 's own, saying, "Now available on CD and cassette".

Availability: This can only be seen on the original 1997 VHS release of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas .

25th Bumper (March 31, 1998) (Walt Disney Pictures/Walt Disney Home Video)

Bumper A: Clips from The Little Mermaid (1989) play out before going to a live action environment with a live action fishbowl showing CGI versions of Gil and Phil from the movie, and then a live action Jodi Benson (who plays Ariel) coming up introducing the movie The Little Mermaid , going to the next bumper.

• Coming Soon to Theaters: Following the introduction, Jodi Benson introduces a sneak peek of the studio's then-upcoming feature Mulan with CGI replicas of Gil and Phil, before cutting to the teaser for Mulan (1998).
• Coming Soon to Theaters (B): After the trailer for Mulan (1998), Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson, introduce a sneak peek of A Bug's Life . A paper with the Mulan logo can be seen, along with "COMING TO THEATERS 1998" shown below it. It then cut to the teaser for A Bug's Life , with Benson continuing to narrate.
• Coming Soon to Video: After the trailer for A Bug's Life , it cuts back to Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson, introducing their newest video release Melody Time , which was released on VHS as a Masterpiece Collection title.
• Coming Soon to Video (B): After the trailer for Melody Time , it cuts back to Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson, introducing the new compilation video The Spirit of Mickey .
• Coming Soon to Video (C): After the trailer for The Spirit of Mickey , it cuts back to Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson, introducing their direct-to-video sequel Pocahontas: Journey to a New World .
• Coming Soon to Video (D): After the trailer for Pocahontas: Journey to a New World , it cuts back to Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson, introducing their newest Masterpiece Collection video release of Lady and the Tramp (1955).
• Disney Cruise Line: After the trailers, it cuts back to Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson, introducing a promo for the Disney Cruise Line.
• Disney's One Saturday Morning: After the Disney Cruise Line message, it cuts back to Gil and Phil, along with Jodi Benson telling them about Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC.
• Feature Presentation: It starts off with the camera zooming out of an extremely close, tilted shot of the words " FEATURE PRESENTATION ", done in gold (a la 20th Century Fox structure logo). As the camera pans out to a confortable distance/angle, the letters are revealed to be sitting at the center of a dark-blue stadium on a gradient black to indigo background, with several spotlights standing still in the background. The logo is shown on a live-action television, viewed from a fishbowl underwater. As a result, the logo looks slightly distorted by the ripples in the water, and as the camera pans into the television set on which the logo is being shown, the aforementioned fish are initially seen at the left and right of the screen, and a castle in the fishbowl covers up part of the lower left hand corner of the screen.
• Stay Tuned: Before fading away to the home video variant of the THX "Broadway" logo, Jodi Benson (as part of the filler at the start of the VHS where she converses with her CGI pet goldfish, Gil and Phil) reminds the audience to stay tuned for a music video.

Technique: A mix of live action and CGI.

Audio (Bumper A): An excerpt from the song "Under the Sea", along with some dialogue introducing the film.

Audio (Bumper B): The actual bumper is silent, but Gil and Phil (two computer-animated goldfish) are heard conversing with Jodi Benson and themselves about the upcoming film they are about to watch:

• Gil: "Yeah, the shrimp!" (This is in response to Jodi listing off Flounder as one of the characters from the film they--and by extension, the audience--are about to watch.)
• Phil: "Well, grab a seat, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show."

Availability: Seen on the 1998 Masterpiece Collection VHS issue of The Little Mermaid (1989).

Legacy: Disney's first attempt at a set of custom VHS bumpers. This practice would later be replicated on the 1999 VHS release of Mulan (1998), using shorter clips compared to this set of bumpers, which use a more fitting "filler" to make the bumpers more "entertaining".

26th Bumper (October 27, 1998) (Walt Disney Pictures/Walt Disney Home Video)

Bumper A: A light moves over from a black background, and a white flash appears. The flash reveals itself to be clips from The Rescuers . It cuts to a yellow box in the upper left corner, and a filmstrip appears, and then a blue box appears at the bottom half of the screen. The black word " get " and the white word " ready " slides up from the bottom, then it cuts to clips from 101 Dalmatians (1961) and A Bug's Life , then it cuts back to the screen, but the word " get " is replaced by " hold " and " ready " is replaced by " on ". After that, it cuts to a clip from Mulan (1998), and it cuts back to the screen, only this time the black word on the yellow box reads " brace " and the white word on the blue box reads " yourself ". This cuts to more clips from Mulan (1998) and The Rescuers , then it cuts to the film countdown with the yellow words " action ", sliding up and a zoom in effect. It cuts to clips from Mighty Joe Young (1998), and it cuts back to the countdown, only this time it reads " fun " instead of " action ". Finally, it cuts to a clip from Mulan (1998) and A Bug's Life , and it cuts back to the countdown, only this time it reads " adventure ". Then it cuts to clips from 101 Dalmatians (1961), The Rescuers , Mulan (1998) and Mighty Joe Young (1998), before it fades to the Coming to Theaters bumper from Bumper B.

• Coming Soon to Theaters: A screen that has a yellow box in the upper-left corner and a cerulean box at the bottom half of the screen fades in. Just as it fades in, black text that reads " coming soon to theaters " (with " theaters " in a slightly larger font, placed below " coming soon to ") fades onto the screen in the yellow box. The Walt Disney Pictures logo (with the " PICTURES " text more closely packed-into each other) fades in on the cerulean box at the bottom. As this all happens, blue-tinted pictures of film used for movie cameras can be seen cycling in the box in the upper-right corner of the screen.
• Coming Soon to Video: A bright, lens-flare-styled flash occurs. After the flash disappears, it shows a screen that has a yellow box in the upper-left corner, a box of blue television static that has an oddly designed, "retro" styled television set with a transparent screen in the upper right corner, and a cerulean box at the bottom half of the screen. Then, blue text that reads " coming soon " fading in on the yellow box, followed by the Walt Disney Home Video logo (with the "Home Video" text packed closely together underneath the Walt Disney text) logo fading in on the cerulean box. At the same time, the television screen on the television set has the Gold 1991 Walt Disney Home Video logo fade in.

Bumper C: There is a white flash that becomes a yellow square, which moves to the upper right of the screen to reveal a blue background with a test pattern. Then the words " feature presentation " in white zoom in while a purple filmstrip appears and wipes the background away. The background becomes black and " feature " moves from right to left above " presentation ".

Technique: Computer animation combined with archival footage.

Audio (Bumper A): A techno hip hop tune with whooshes and Brian Cummings saying, "And now... get ready... hold on... and brace yourself... for all the action... fun... and adventure... coming your way from Walt Disney Studios!"

Audio (Bumper B): Just Brian Cummings saying, "Coming soon to theaters from Walt Disney Pictures." or "And coming soon, from Walt Disney Home Video...".

Audio (Bumper C): A whooshing sound when the flash appears, followed by Brian Cummings saying "And now, Disney proudly presents: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride !"

Availability: Only appeared on the original 1998 VHS tape of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride .

Legacy: An attempt by Disney to make a new set of generic, but related, VHS bumpers for any future major release.

27th Bumper (February 2, 1999) (Walt Disney Pictures/Walt Disney Home Video)

• Please stay Tuned: On a red-black gradient background, the same dragon from the Mulan film logo is seen on the bottom, but in yellow. Above it is " Please Stay TUNED " in a script-esque font.
• Introduction: Cutting away from the "Please Stay Tuned" bumper, in the forest is Cri-kee, Mushu, Mulan (in her male soldier disguise) and the black horse Khan introduce the previews.
• Coming Soon to Video (A): Just the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video logo without any modifications. A bug cuts itself a path through it, revealing that of Mushu and his bug Cri-Kee surfing down the side of a avalanche. Then it cuts to the trailer for A Bug's Life .
• Coming Soon to Video (B): After the trailer for A Bug's Life , it zooms in and cuts to Cri-Kee hitting a gong; this then cuts to a screen with Mushu and Cri-Kee, then a silhouette of a pot of honey comes in and pours out its contents, transitioning into the trailer for Winnie the Pooh: Sing a Song with Pooh Bear .
• Coming Soon to Video (C): After the trailer for Winnie the Pooh: Sing a Song with Pooh Bear , Mushu tries to awaken the Great Stone Dragon, but to no avail. Then, pawprints appear across the screen and zoom in to reveal the trailer for the Masterpiece Collection release of 101 Dalmatians (1961).
• After the Movie: On a paper sheet, Cri-Kee is seen typing away a letter. It then zooms in and cuts to a stone background, with "www.DisneyVideos.go.com" typing in slowly, along with the Go Network logo appearing in a glow. The text then zooms in and cuts to Mushu taking the letter, slipping Cri-Kee up into the air. This can be only seen on early printings.
• Sneak Peek: Just the logo for Disney's Tarzan .
• Feature Presentation: Same as the "Please Stay Tuned" ID, except the text says " Feature PRESENTATION ".

Technique: Archival footage and 2D computer effects.

Audio: A sound of a gong being struck, along with the audio for the clips and Brian Cummings cheerfully narrating:

• Please stay Tuned: "Please stay tuned after the previews for a special behind-the-scenes look at an upcoming Disney animated entertainment event!"
• Coming Soon to Video: "Coming soon to home video!"
• After the Movie: "After the movie, play exciting games and go on new adventures with Mulan at www.DisneyVideos.go.com, part of the Go Network."
• Sneak Peek: "And now, a sneak preview of Disney's all-new animated motion picture, Tarzan !"
• Feature Presentation: "And now, our feature presentation!"

Availability: Seen on the 1999 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of Mulan (1998).

28th Bumper (October 26, 1999) (Walt Disney Home Video)

Visuals: Over a different clip of Pinocchio (1940), a bumper appears over the clip.

• Coming Soon to Own on Video. (The clip is Pinocchio as a human carried around by Geppetto, before it freezes and the text in a blue serif font rises up from the bottom of the screen.)
• Available this Holiday Season (The clip is Jiminy Cricket with Pinocchio hopping onto his foot, and the text slides in from the left in red with a white outline.)
• Join us After the Feature (The clip shows Pinocchio doing a trick with his head and the text slides in from the left, in the same font as the "Coming Soon to Own on Video" bumper).
• Feature Presentation (The clip has it showing the wishing star twinkling, as the text fades and zooms in slowly, colored red with a white and black drop shadow.)

Technique: Computer effects overlaid onto archival footage.

Audio: The first three bumpers feature specially recorded instrumental cues, while the third has some of "When You Wish Upon a Star." All four have Brian Cummings doing the announcement.

• On the "Available This Holiday Season" bumper, Brian Cummings announces, "Available to own this holiday season..." while an instrumental rendition of "Jingle Bells" plays.
• For the "Join us After the Feature" bumper, Brian Cummings announces, "Be sure to join us after the feature for a special bonus feature, A Wish Come True: The Making of Pinocchio."
• On the "Feature Presentation" bumper, Brian Cummings cheerfully exclaims, "And now, our feature presentation!"

Availability: This custom bumper set only appears on the 1999 60th Anniversary VHS release of Pinocchio (1940). No "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper was made for this title since it used the 1996 bumpers.

Legacy: The "...to Own on Video" and "Feature Presentation" announcements were later used in the Filmreel IDs. The "Available this Holiday Season" later got its own bumper below. Along with the two sets of bumpers listed below, these were used as early templates for the 1999-2010 IDs. This is one of the earliest bumpers to use the voiceover variants for the 1999 Filmreel bumpers.

29th Bumper (November 9, 1999) (Walt Disney Home Video)

Visuals: A clip of Pluto's Christmas Tree , which shows the camera zooming into a house on a snowy night, plays as the words " AVAILABLE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON " in a Cooper Black font, with snow on top of the letters, zooms in from the house.

Audio: Brian Cummings announces, "Available to own this holiday season..." while an instrumental rendition of "Jingle Bells" plays.

Availability: This bumper appears only on the 1999 VHS release of I’ll Be Home for Christmas .

30th Bumper (November 9, 1999) (Walt Disney Home Video)

Visuals: Same as the 28th ID, except with Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas .

• Coming Soon to Own on Video (The clip shows Goofy slipping and somehow having his family dinner land perfectly into place, and the text in a blue font drops down with the turkey, with Goofy smiling blissfully.)
• Now Available to Own on Video (The clip shows Donald opening his closet to reveal sleds for his 3 sons, and the text in white flies out of the closet to the top left.)
• Feature Presentation (The clip shows Mickey and Minnie sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, which zooms out as the bumper text in blue again zooming in.

Audio: Like the 28th, some associated music and Cummings' voiceover.

Audio Variant: On the "Feature Presentation" bumper, Brian Cummings cheerfully exclaims, "And now, our feature presentation!"

Availability: Like the 28th Bumper, this is a custom bumper set only appearing on the 1999 VHS release of Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas .

Legacy: Unlike the 28th Bumper, all three announcements were later used in the Filmreel IDs. The font for these bumpers was later used in the next ID.

31st Bumper (December 7, 1999) (Walt Disney Home Video)

Visuals: Same as the previous two IDs, except with Inspector Gadget (1999).

• Coming Soon to Own on Video and DVD (A giant jet engine comes out of the Gadgetmobile before it rockets off into the horizon, with the text in a metallic silver color flying up from under the car.)
• Now Available to Own on Video and DVD (The same clip, but with this bumper's text instead)
• Feature Presentation (The clip shown has Inspector Gadget forming a helicoptor rotor out of his hat as he prepares to take off, follow by him flying through town and into the camera. The bumper text materializes at the bottom of the screen.)

Audio: Like the 28th and 30th IDs, some associated music and Cummings' voiceover.

Availability: This is a custom bumper set only appearing on the 1999 VHS public release of Inspector Gadget (1999). The demo version uses a custom version of the Zoom-In bumpers instead.

32nd Bumper (December 14, 1999-December 5, 2006 [Sneak Peeks through June 8, 2010]) (Buena Vista Home Entertainment)

• As one of the one of the following bumper texts - some of which slides down while the other section of text slides to the right, respectively, before settling. There is a pink rectangular strip on the top (moving towards the bottom of the screen), a gold rectangular strip at the top moving to the right, a transparent strip moving to the left (forming into a backing for the top bumper text), golden lines moving in from every side and a gold rectangular strip that forms from the right going toward the left side of the screen (the bottom bumper text will usually end up in this strip). Film reels are slowly spinning in the blue-tinted background.
• When hitting "Sneak Peeks" on the main menu on most 2004-10 DVDs, the phrase "Sneak Peeks" zooms slowly down the top of the screen and stays put. Four gold arrows slide in from all four directions of the screen, after which the words "PLAY ALL" (on the top right side of the screen), "MAIN MENU" (at the bottom right side) and "MORE" (at the bottom left side) fade in. Then, several logos for movies/TV shows/TV networks animate in several unique ways and appear in the middle of the screen in all sides. Then, a blue filmreel with gold holes appears next to either one of the logos or "PLAY ALL", and the viewer can use their remote control to move the filmreel to a movie logo, which by clicking on them takes them to the trailer they want to see, or to "PLAY ALL" (which plays all the trailers, either on the disc or on the page), "MAIN MENU" (which jumps right back to the main menu), "MORE" (which jumps to an additional page of trailers), and "BACK" (which can only be accessed from the second page, and jumps back to the first page). When the viewer selects a trailer they want, the small filmreel inverts and the menu cuts to black, then the start of the trailer. To see an expanding list of logo animations on this menu/bumper, click the link above.

• After the Feature (Found on the 2004 VHS of Kill Bill: Volume 1 )
• Previews (Demo tapes only)
• Early DVD releases from Disney and its subsidiaries had no previews or when had previews did not allow viewers to skip the previews. Because of subsequent backlash, the ability to jump directly to the main menu at any time was added. In August 2000, text regarding such an option was added to the first bumper on the disc (more on that below), although the 2001-04 DVD releases of Just Visiting , The Love Bug , and My Baby's Daddy , which use only one bumper, feature no additional text. This ability was also provided by Disney's Fast Play, which was introduced in 2004, except on discs with it, there were no bumpers in-between trailers until 2010.
• On the 2004 DVD release of Home on the Range , the "Coming Soon to Own on DVD & Video" bumper appears twice, once before a trailer for Aladdin: Platinum Edition , and once again before trailers for Mulan: Special Edition and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (the latter of which, unusually for a 2004-06 DVD, appears on the second page of the Sneak Peeks menu on the disc instead of the first).
• Conversely, on the 2005 DVD release of The Parent Trap: 2-Movie Collection , a preview for Toy Story: 10th Anniversary Edition is shown, despite the "Now Available to Own on DVD" bumper being missing. This could be because of a later reissue of Toy Story 2 being advertised at the preview's very end.
• In a similar case to the Flashbang bumpers, the trailers for titles that could be rented but not properly purchased were preceded by the "...on Video", "...on DVD", "...to Rent on Video", and "...on Video & DVD" bumpers. The trailers for titles that could be properly purchased were preceded by the "...to Own on Video", "...to Own on DVD", and "...to Own on DVD and Video" bumpers.
• These bumpers were mostly relegated to most Buena Vista releases except some early-to-mid-2000s Dimension Home Video and Warren Miller VHS copies, which continued to use the Flashbang set.
• It's also the first bumper set not to use either version of the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video logo music that some previous bumpers and international bumpers also used.
• DVDs released from 2000-05 with trailers include a still card for each trailer after each bumper. DVDs released after 2005 would jump into their sets of trailers after each bumper. it returned on some 2010 DVDs during previews.
• The filmreel background is likely based on the design of the Frank G. Wells Building at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California.
• The bumpers with the bottom text that appears in a widened Helvetica Light font animate in a smooth way (the lower text having a "motion blur" effect applied), with both the upper and lower texts sliding slowly while inside the screen.
• In a few cases, the lower text appears in a widened Verdana font and slides into the golden strip slightly slower than usual. This version occurs only on the early version of the "Now Available on Video" bumper, and the "Now Available on CD" and "Join Us after the Program" bumpers. A similar version appears on the "Join Us after the Movie" bumper, except the text "after the Movie" is in a standard Verdana font.
• In other cases, the lower text is in a standard Verdana font, emerges from the left side of the screen and swiftly slides into the golden strip. The upper text also emerges from the top of the screen before it falls to its usual position. This version occurs on the early version of the "Now Available to Own on DVD" bumper as well as the "New From Disney Interactive" and "New from the Secret Lab" bumpers. This also applies to the later versions of the "Coming Soon to Theaters from Disney & Pixar", "Now Available on Video", "Previews" and "Feature Program" bumpers.
• For both "Collector's Edition DVD" bumpers, the bottom text appears in Helvetica Light.
• On the 2002 DVD of Mickey's House of Villains , both lines of text on the "Coming Soon on Video & DVD" have a shadow effect applied to them. On a side note, the bumper also cuts in and out instead of fading in and out.
• On the 2006 widescreen DVD release of Cars (one of the last releases to feature this bumper), there is a more detailed version where the 3D text "Coming Soon" turns downward to face the screen. "to Theaters" or "to Own on DVD" (depending on the bumper used) swipes in from the left side of the screen and rotates to face the screen, settling above the golden strip. The background from the original variant of the Sneak Peeks menu/bumper is used. It would appear this was a prototype bumper that would eventually lead to the 2006 era bumpers, as the 3D text resembles the animation used in those bumpers.
• On the 2004 DVD release of That's So Raven: Supernaturally Stylish , the text appears on the second bumper instead of the first.
• As a side note, the 2000 UK/Irish DVD releases of The Tigger Movie and Tarzan (possibly the first ever DVDs to be released by Disney in the UK/Ireland to contain previews) features the "Coming Soon to Own on Video & DVD" variant, complete with the voiceover and music, only the bumper fades to black, then to a still card for the first preview.
• This variant is translated to "Auf Video und DVD" (not all in uppercase) on German and Turkish DVDs.
• This variant is translated to "En Video et DVD" on some French DVDs.
• On DVDs released in Spain, the bottom text is translated to "en video y DVD" and "Titulos que estan or estaran proximamente" is added above.
• In December 2003, due to the DVD format overtaking VHS in sales, the bottom text in the Coming Soon/Now Available bumpers was switched to "DVD & Video." This version was first used on the VHS of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (its DVD counterpart used the "Video & DVD" versions), and made its first DVD appearances on Recess: All Growed Down and Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade .
• The 1999 60th Anniversary VHS release of Pinocchio (1940)
• Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas
• Inspector Gadget (1999)
• Playhouse Disney VHS tapes from 2000-05
• Most teen-oriented Buena Vista, Marvel, and Miramax VHS tapes from 2002-05
• The font is in a bolder and slightly narrower Helvetica font, "Coming Soon" is above the gold rectangle, "to Theaters" is in it, and "From Disney & Pixar" (with "From" smaller) is arranged below it. In addition, the text is already partially shown just as the bumper appears. This variant is seen only on the original 2000 VHS and DVD releases of Toy Story 2 .
• "Coming Soon to Theaters" (now in the normal Helvetica Light font) is arranged above the gold rectangle and "FROM DISNEY & PIXAR" (in the Verdana font used for the Now Available to Own on DVD ID of the time) is in said rectangle. This variant is seen only on the original 2002 VHS release of Monsters, Inc. .
• On the 2000 VHS re-release of I'll Be Home for Christmas , "Now Available" is slightly narrower and "on Video" is in a widened Verdana font.
• On the 2002 VHS release of Spider-Man: The Return of the Green Goblin , "Now Available" is in Helvetica and "on Video" is in Verdana.
• On VHS tapes such as the 2002-05 VHS releases of the Vault Disney Collection series, Sweet Home Alabama , Moonlight Mile , Freaky Friday (2003), Scary Movie 3 , The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou , and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz , the slide-in is rougher, and the bottom text is in Verdana. Although most DVDs use the second variant, this variant continued usage on Roger Corman, Miramax and Dimension titles such as the 2005-06 DVD releases of Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood , The Great Raid , Hostage , Tsotsi , Asphalt Wars , Keeping Up with the Steins , Daltry Calhoun , An Unfinished Life , Bride & Prejudice , and Chicago: The Razzle-Dazzle Edition .
• On most DVDs, both of the texts are presented in their usual font and slide-in smoothly.
• 2000-01 demo tapes, such as The Kid , crazy/beautiful , High Fidelity , and Chocolat , feature a partly-formed still image of the bumper, and "Previews" sliding in from the left.
• 2001-04 demo tapes, such as Unbreakable , Jerry Seinfeld: Comedian , Moonlight Mile , and Cold Creek Manor feature the bumper animating as usual, except this time, "Previews" comes down from the top.
• "New From" is arranged above the gold rectangle in a white Helvetica font and "Disney Interactive" (in the Verdana font used for the Now Available to Own on DVD ID of the time) is in said rectangle.
• A still version of this bumper appears only on the 2000 VHS release of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins .
• The following preview is classified [rating]
• The following previews are classified [rating]
• This following feature is classified [rating]
• The following previews & feature are classified [rating]
• On the standard "Feature Presentation" bumper, the bumper moves differently. On a gold background, the text "Feature Presentation" is seen sliding to to the left in a golden tint. Then, "Feature" zooms to the left and the "Presentation" zooms to the right, changing the background to the typical bumper background, and they connect together in the middle. Gold arrows and multicolored rectangles move around the bumper in different ways.
• On some tapes from 2001-05, an alternate "Feature Presentation" bumper is shown like this: On a dusk background, a CGI version of Sleeping Beauty Castle on a cloud, with fireworks exploding, is seen and the camera zooms through the entrance at the same time as some stars come through the gate. A large firework goes off in the center of the screen, while circles of filmstrips spin around, with a still image of a Disney/Pixar film on each frame. A circle of stars spins at the top of it. The filmstrips and circle of stars then go down as the text " FEATURE PRESENTATION ", in the same font as the 1st CGI FP bumper from the 1998 Masterpiece Collection VHS release of The Little Mermaid , comes up from the bottom of the screen. After the Feature Presentation text rises up to the center of the screen, several fireworks fly up and explode behind the text.
• An earlier version used a still image that has the words scrunched together. In this case, the "Feature Program" text is very large. While "Feature" is slightly narrower, "Program" is wider and positioned above the golden strip.
• A later version contains the same animation as the second variant of the "Coming Soon to Theaters from Disney & Pixar" bumper, except with "Feature" on top and "Program" on the golden strip.
• On the "After the Feature" variant, the animation of the logo seems to be slowed down as well.
• After the movie/program, the text "Special Bonus Material" is pasted over a textless version of the background from the usual Filmreel ID. This variant appears only on Australian VHS tapes.
• "Stay tuned after the feature for a special music video"
• "Stay tuned after the feature for a bonus short"
• "Stay tuned after this feature for special bonus material"
• There is a variant that is seen on the 2000 VHS release of Diamonds . The colored squares and golden arrows are removed from the Filmreel background, and instead of the usual text, it shows: Join Us After the Feature for a Special Message in gold and in a serif font, displayed on the screen.
• A few of the bumpers were translated into Spanish and French for U.S. Spanish and French Canadian VHS and DVD releases, respectively.
• Many different variants of the Sneak Peeks menu were created, so much so that a separate page was needed just for documenting them all.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A somber 2-note flat electronic synth theme, with electronic beeping in the background, and a slight whoosh/choir near the end, with Brian Cummings announcing the bumper.

• The international "On Video and DVD" bumper is completely silent. The "Coming Soon to Theaters" and "Coming Soon to Own on Video and DVD" bumpers are also silent on the 2000-05 DVD releases of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins and the original release of Sin City , as is the "Coming Soon to Own on DVD" bumper on the 2003 DVD release of Daredevil vs. Spider-Man (the VHS version of the former and the latter's other bumpers, however, use the normal audio).
• The standard "Feature Presentation" bumper and the "Feature Program" bumpers used a flat, somber 4-note synth theme culminating in a distant drumroll.
• A version of the "Feature Presentation" bumper with Beau Weaver announcing Cummings' line "And now, our feature presentation." at a slightly faster rate exists.
• Another version of the "Feature Presentation" ID consists of Brian Cummings announcing his line in a cheerful tone of voice. This version appears on Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection VHS tapes and 2000-02 VHS releases of other family-friendly titles from WDHV and BVHE. It premiered on the Gold Classic Collection VHS release of Mulan (1998) and last appeared on The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina and Monsters, Inc. This voiceover variant was also used on some of its custom IDs listed above and below.
• On the Diamonds variant of the "Join Us..." bumper, the ID is silent except for Tom Kane saying, "Join us after the feature for a special message from Kirk Douglas."
• On the demo tape of Inspector Gadget 2 , the exact same voiceover from Brian Cummings and music from the standard edition's animated version of the 1992-2006 Stay Tuned ID are heard instead.
• On the "After the Feature" variant, Tom Kane says, "Watch the trailers from writer/director Quentin Tarantino, coming up right after the feature." Instead of the standard flat music, a song from the film's soundtrack, "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei, is used in its place.
• On the custom "Feature Presentation" variant, the announcer is absent, and a loud, majestic fanfare with a change in pitch at the very end is used.
• On post-2001 DVDs and titles with the "...DVD and Video", "Now Available on Video" and "...to Own on DVD" bumpers, Cummings' voiceover is heard in the middle of the bumper instead of the beginning.
• On most DVDs with the "Coming Soon on DVD", "Now Available to Own on Video and DVD", and "Now Available on DVD" bumpers beginning in 2001, Cummings’ voiceover is more enthusiastic.
• On DVDs with the "Now Available to Own on DVD" bumper, Cummings’ voiceover is more relaxed; more relaxed sounding voiceovers were also used for the "DVD & VIDEO" bumper variants that began usage in 2003. Strangely, the 2006 DVD release of Asphalt Wars instead uses the original voiceover.
• On VHS up until 2003, as well as the 2002 DVD release of Max Keeble's Big Move , Cummings' voiceover is heard about half a second after the bumper begins. On most DVDs, there is a slight delay before the voiceover is heard on most bumpers.
• On the 2004-05 DVD releases of Open Range , The Haunted Mansion , and Prozac Nation , the audio for their respective "Coming Soon TO OWN ON DVD & VIDEO," "Coming Soon to Theaters," and "Now Available to Own on DVD" bumpers is out of sync.
• On the trailer for Alias: The Complete Fourth Season (on the DVD of Desperate Housewives: The Complete First Season ), the "Coming Soon to Own on DVD" variant is silent.

Audio Trivia: The music score for this style of bumper is entirely custom, composed by Walter Werzowa at Musikvergnuegen, who also composed the Intel leitmotif & its variants used beginning in 1994, the music of the 1998-2006 Buena Vista Home Entertainment logo, DTS 's Sonic Landscape logo, the second Legendary Pictures logo, and the EW Scripps news music package used from 2009-2012.

Availability: Though the availability of each bumper variant varies, Most, if not all, Buena Vista VHS and DVDs used this bumper set since it appeared on numerous VHS tapes and DVDs released under the Walt Disney family of labels (Buena Vista, Walt Disney, Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension, and Hollywood) during this time period. However, they do not appear on some early-to-mid-2000s Dimension Home Video VHS tapes and most Warren Miller tapes (as they used Flashbang bumpers), various preschool-oriented Disney releases (which used the "handprint" bumpers), some kids action titles from Buena Vista/Miramax (which used the "wavelength" bumpers), the 2003 Miramax DVD release of Mouth to Mouth , early Disney DVDs that contain Disney's FastPlay (they had no bumpers), or VHS tapes from February 2006-February 2007 (as they were only distributed by Disney Movie Club and had no previews). The DMC tapes are worth tons of money, and the key sign is no Filmreel bumpers.

• The bumpers first appeared on the 1999 VHS releases of Disney's Annie and Miramax's The Very Thought of You , both released on the same day. The last VHS tapes with the primary "Feature Presentation" bumper were Bambi II and the demo VHS of Cinderella III: A Twist in Time , and the last releases with the bumper set overall were the original 2006 DVDs of Cars , High School Musical: Remix Edition , and Disney DVD Game World: Disney Dogs Edition - Blue Ribbon Challenge .
• The bumper also appeared on VHS tapes of films released by Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension and Hollywood Pictures, including She's All That , High Fidelity , O' Brother, Where Art Thou , The Sixth Sense , Chocolat , Just Visiting , Bounce , Ella Enchanted , Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back , In the Bedroom , Spy Kids , The Hot Chick , and The Cider House Rules .
• The "Coming Soon to Theaters from Disney & Pixar" variants only appear on the original VHS releases of Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. , as well as the former's original DVD.
• The "Disney Interactive" variant is seen on the 2000-03 VHS releases of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins , Mickey's House of Villains , Sorority Boys , ESPN's Ultimate X: The Movie , and Who Framed Roger Rabbit .
• The "Now in Theaters" variant was first seen on the 2000 VHS of Woman Wanted . Like with the Flashbang variant, it was only rarely used, but it can be found on the 2003 VHS and DVD releases of Bringing Down the House , the 2005 DVD release of Finding Neverland , and the 2005 VHS release of Darkness , among a few others. It was also apparently intended to be used on the 2000 Gold Classic Collection DVD of A Goofy Movie , preceding a trailer for Fantasia 2000 , but both are hidden within the disc files and not used on the actual release (probably because of a release date delay or an authoring mistake).
• The "On Video & DVD" variant is seen on UK/Irish and Greek DVDs.
• The "Now Available Collector's Edition DVD" variant can be seen on the 2005 DVD release of The Great Raid .
• The first DVD to use these bumpers is the original 2000 release of Tarzan , and the last to use them were the 2006 DVD releases of Cars , High School Musical: Remix Edition , and Disney DVD Game World: Disney Dogs Edition - Blue Ribbon Challenge .
• Some demo tapes, such as Swing and Music of the Heart , use the standard bumpers instead of the "Previews" one. Conversely, the "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper appears on a few demo tapes, such as Jerry Seinfeld: Comedian and Moonlight Mile , alongside the "Previews" one.
• The "Video" variants were last seen in the summer of 2005, examples being A Lot Like Love and The Pacifier .
• The earlier "Feature Program" version can be seen on some 2000 tapes, such as Out of the Box: Happy Holidays and the re-releases of the Winnie the Pooh: Storybook Classics and 101 Dalmatians: Christmas . This version reappeared on several tapes from 2005: Disney Princess - Princess Stories Volume 2 , Cadet Kelly , MyScene Goes Hollywood: The Movie , Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie , Power Rangers S.P.D. VHS tapes, the demo tape of Bambi II , and The Even Stevens Movie . However, some of these are feature-length movies.
• The later "Feature Program" version is seen only on the 2002-04 VHS releases of Spider-Man: The Return of the Green Goblin , Schoolhouse Rock!: 30th Anniversary Edition , The Incredible Hulk (1996), Disney's Sing Along Songs: Brother Bear - On My Way , Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: Planet of the Lost , and Disney’s Sing Along Songs: Home on the Range - A Little Patch of Heaven .
• The Beau Weaver version of the "Feature Presentation" bumper is only seen on the 2000 VHS releases of Toy Story and Tarzan . The 2005 reprint of the latter has the standard Brian Cummings voiceover, while the former was only released on DVD that year.
• The custom "Feature Presentation" bumper isn't as common as the standard one, but it appears on the 2001-05 VHS releases of Atlantis: The Lost Empire , all 2001-05 Platinum Edition releases, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas: Special Edition , 2002 prints of the Gold Classic Collection reissue of Mary Poppins , and The Incredibles , among others. The last tape with this bumper was the 2005 Platinum Edition VHS of Cinderella .
• The "Sneak Peek" bumper always precedes the long trailer for The Lion King 1 1/2 , and was seen on fall 2003 VHS releases like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl , The Music Man , George of the Jungle 2 , and Finding Nemo , along with the 2004 VHS of Pokémon Heroes (their DVD versions all skip it).
• The "Sneak Peeks" version is, arguably, the most common of all, as it can be seen on many DVD releases of Buena Vista-owned properties from the period. However, since it is more of a menu than a bumper, it can only be accessed by selecting "Sneek Peeks" from the main menu of the DVD. It first appeared on both Rolie Polie Olie: Springy-Time Fun (in still form) and Spot: Where's Spot/Spot Goes to the Farm (in animated form), and was last seen on StarStruck: Extended Edition . For a full list of variants and appearances, see the dedicated Sneak Peeks page .

Legacy: The quality of the bumpers from this era of bumpers is wildly inconsistent, arguably more so than any of the other styles of bumpers. On a positive note, the subdued, soothing atmosphere marks this era of bumpers as a thankfully calmer and more welcoming turn after the tenure of the 1994 era of bumpers. The bumpers are very widely known, getting the Filmreel name and appearing in many 2000s nostalgia compilation videos.

• While some of the bumpers properly match the layout and overall quality of the FP bumper of the time, other bumpers are visibly not as good, and still other bumpers look like they were made on a shoestring budget.
• As for the earlier "Feature Program" version, ​​this bumper has been criticized as a rush job by some, due to the still animation and the smaller "Program" text not in the gold bar, both of which contrast significantly with most bumpers from the era. Presumably, this was a placeholder for the previously mentioned bumper, but even by those standards, it's still considered sloppy. The later "Feature Program" version can be considered an improvement over the previous one as more effort was put into it, although the earlier variant was used more often.
• For the "Feature Presentation" bumper, it has been widely regarded as one of Disney's most memorable bumpers, due to the soothing music and the stand-out animation from its companion bumpers.

• Coming Soon (UMD Video for PSP logo)

• Now Available (UMD Video for PSP logo)

International bumpers:

• On DVD (also seen on the 2008 North American DVDs of Lost: The Complete Fourth Season and Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fourth Season )
• On DVD and Blu-ray
• On Blu-ray and DVD
• In the earliest days of the ID, only three color schemes were used: purple, red, and green. Later in 2007, pink and black and white were introduced. In 2008, starting with No Country for Old Men , aquamarine and dandelion were introduced as well. In 2011, however, most of the color schemes were abandoned in favor of purple. The international and UMD variants only use an orange background.
• Some DVD releases prior to 2011 only use one color for the bumpers on the disc. For example, The Invisible and Alice in Wonderland: Special Un-Anniversary Edition only feature a red background for the bumpers.
• On the 2010 DVD release of Surrogates , the "Coming Soon to Blu-ray and DVD" bumper precedes a trailer for Everybody's Fine , which wasn't actually released on Blu-ray until 2012, as part of Lionsgate's deal with Miramax that allowed them home video rights to part of their catalog.
• Until the mid-2010s, the "Blu-ray and DVD" IDs would appear alongside the "Theaters" ones.
• In 2008, an animation style not unlike that seen in these bumpers was adopted for use on the Sneak Peeks menu.
• These bumpers were mostly relegated to most Buena Vista DVD releases while Blu-rays use the next clip on.
• These and the next set of bumpers have no announcers saying the on-screen text.
• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, releases featuring 2020 projects had snafus that affected their status. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Frozen II respectively have the "Coming to Theaters" bumper precede trailers for Mulan (2020) and Onward , the former of which was instead released on Disney+ (although it did have a theatrical run before the pandemic). On The Call of the Wild (2020), the trailer for Jungle Cruise still says "In Theaters 2020," despite it eventually being released the next year. Coincidentally, the titles mentioned were among the last releases to feature these bumpers.
• The Now in Theaters bumper was lost, but was discovered in 2022.
• On the "To Own On DVD" bumpers, before "On DVD" zooms out along with "To Own", there is a silver object wiping down the right side of the screen for a second before it disappears. The animation of the text zooming out also looks unstable. These could possibly be due to animation errors.
• The international bumpers only use an orange background.
• For the home video bumpers, a blank DVD appears in the upper left corner of the screen.
• For the " Theaters "/"Cinemas" bumpers, a filmreel appears in the upper left corner of the screen instead. The international "In Cinemas" bumper features an alternate design.
• On 2006-10 DVDs, " To " is capitalized and in a bold Times New Roman font.
• In 2010, " To " was changed to a thin Trebutchet MS "to."
• An early version of the "Coming Soon To Theaters " ID consists of a dark grey background with a pair of filmreels spinning (used as a background from the filmreel IDs and possibly uses ether the 2005 variant or 2008 variant of Sneak Peeks Menu background) as opposed to the standard blurry multi-colored background. In addition, the text is shifted further off to the left, " Theaters " is slightly wider, and "To" comes in from behind the filmreel. This variant appears on the 2006-09 DVD releases of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest , The Diving Bell and the Butterfly , Dan in Real Life , Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive - Pink Emerald , The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian , Power Rangers: Jungle Fury - Into the Jungle , Swing Vote , and Brideshead Revisited .
• On the original variant, "Now" turns downward to face the viewer, while "IN" zooms out and slides all over the screen before settling below "Now." In addition, "IN" is in all caps and in a bold Times New Roman font.
• On the later variant, "Now in" turns downward to face the viewer, while "Theaters" does its usual animation.
• This series of IDs may appear in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen or 1.33:1 fullscreen, depending on the intended aspect ratio of each DVD. However, some 2006-07 DVD releases of widescreen films (such as Invincible , The Prestige , Venus , The Lookout , and Our Very Own ) present the bumpers in 1.33:1 instead.
• A "windowboxed" 1.85:1 version can be found on the 2008-09 DVD releases of Home Improvement: The Complete Eighth Season and seasons 7 and 8 of Scrubs .
• French DVDs have the international bumpers translated into French.
• On the UMD variants, after a while, a filmstrip fades in the center of the background. In addition, the text is in a different font and quickly zooms out one by one.
• Just like the 1999-2010 bumpers, pressing "Sneak Peeks" on the main menu of DVDs from 2008-09 brings forth a specialized menu, this time tailored to match the look of these bumpers.
• The French DVD release of Glory Road features this same variant, except it is translated into French.
• On UK/Irish Blu-rays, the bumper text is sharper.
• An early variant of the "On Blu-ray" bumper exists, where the text is in all-caps. This was found on the 2007 UK/Irish Blu-ray of Air Force One .

Audio: There are gentle pieces of music, and/or intense scores, depending on the variation and appearance of each bumper. A couple of whooshing sound effects are also present. Below is a list of the following known music cues:

• An upbeat whimsical fanfare, adapted from the track "Fantastic Adventure" by Ian Hughes. (This can mostly be heard on 2006-08 releases such as The Cheetah Girls 2 and Ratatouille )
• An ominous string theme, leading up to two orchestral notes. (This, along with the cue listed above, was used frequently in the bumper's early days and can also be heard on the first two releases to include the bumpers, The Cheetah Girls 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)
• A light orchestral theme, adapted from the track "Intergalactica" by Ian Hughes. (This can be heard on releases from 2006-2011, most prominently in 2007, such as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Toy Story 3 )
• An eerie synth tune, adapted from the intro to the stock music piece "Journey" by William Ashford. (This can be heard on 2006-11 releases such as Invincible , Step Up, Deja Vu , The Queen , The Prestige , Primeval , Venus , The Lookout , Ratatouille , Step Up , No Country for Old Men , FlashForward: The Complete Series , and Gnomeo & Juilet )
• An orchestral tune with some light flute. (This can be heard on The Night Listener and Dan in Real Life )
• A somber keyboard/string theme, adapted from the track "Caterpillar's Walking" by Alain Mouysset. (This can be heard on 2007-2010 releases such as The Prestige , Pixar Short Films Collection Vol. 1 , Scrubs: The Complete Seventh Season , The Princess and the Frog , Alice in Wonderland: Special UN-Anniversary Edition and Air Bud: World Pup: Special Edition )
• A fanfare with a triumphant intro and a gentle ending, also adapted from the track "Intergalactica" by Ian Hughes. (This was used from 2007-09, and can be heard on Jump In!

• In 2008, the original set of music cues was replaced with a different set of cues. Some of them are driven by acoustic guitars, while a couple feature prominent electric guitar. However, some of the original cues were still used.
• The Sneak Peeks menu variant uses the same music as before.
• Both of these cues were used on Frozen , with the 2012 cue playing over the "Coming Soon to Blu-ray and DVD" bumper and the 2006/11 cue playing over the "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper.
• On the 2009 French DVD release of WALL-E , the 2007 primary music cue is in PAL Pitch.

Audio Trivia:

• The cues listed above came from the Opus 1 Music Library, the JW Media Library, and the Audio Horizons Music Library from the Spirit Production Music website. (Some of the music can be found here in these links: Journey , The Giant Ver 1 )
• On the 2007 DVD release of DuckTales: Volume 3 , the same cue is used on both bumpers.

Availability: Seen on most DVD copies of this period, dwindling in sightings as time goes on.

• It was first seen in prototype form on late 2005 UMD releases for the PlayStation Portable (such as on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Toy Story ), and appeared on every DVD from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and its subsidiaries (Buena Vista, Pixar, Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, Miramax, ABC Studios, Marvel, and in 2020, 20th Century Studios) from the 2006 DVD release of The Cheetah Girls 2 up until the 2020 remake of The Call of the Wild .
• Other DVDs with this ID include the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, Wild Hogs , Deja Vu , The Queen , The Guardian , The Invisible , The Prestige , seasons 6-8 of Home Improvement , Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile , High School Musical: The Concert: Extreme Access Pass , High School Musical 2 , Jump In!: Freestyle Edition , The Lookout , The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Sweet Suite Victory , Cory in the House: All Star Edition , Return to Halloweentown , Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board , Ratatouille , the 2007-13 DVD re-releases of National Treasure , the first two Toy Story films, The Incredibles , Finding Nemo , Monsters, Inc. , and Cars , the 2008 reprint of Hannah Montana: Livin’ the Rock Star Life , National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets , The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian , WALL-E , Confessions of a Shopaholic , Up , Surrogates , The Princess and the Frog , The Sorcerer's Apprentice , Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time , Everybody's Fine , Toy Story 3 and 4 , Tangled , Gnomeo & Juilet , Cars 2 and 3 , Winnie the Pooh (2011), both The Muppets films, John Carter , The Avengers , Wreck-It Ralph , Lincoln , Monsters University , both Planes films, the Frozen , Maleficent , and Ant-Man franchises, Inside Out , Zootopia , The Jungle Book (2016), Finding Dory , Moana , Beauty and the Beast (2017), Coco , Ralph Breaks the Internet , and The Lion King (2019).
• On FastPlay releases, it debuted on the 2010 DVD release of Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You and was last seen on Frozen II .
• Strangely, the 2014-19 DVD releases of Toy Story of Terror!, Big Hero 6 , Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars , The Good Dinosaur , Incredibles 2 , Missing Link , and Stuber did not contain any bumpers before the previews. For the latter two, they were some of the final releases under the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment name and operations.
• By 2020, most of the bumpers were retired, since Maleficent: Mistress of Evil , Frozen II , and The Call of the Wild (2020) only show the "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper. Newer releases either have no previews at all, or just go straight to the opening previews without a bumper following.

Legacy: While these bumpers have faced some criticism for looking cheap, they have largely been praised for being an improvement over previous series of bumpers, thanks to its animation advances and wider selection of musical cues (although its post-2011 limitations to the purple color scheme and one of two musical cues may face some criticism). The variety of colors and metallic typefaces help make each bumper stand out smoothly as well. However, because most DVDs now have no bumpers, and Disney's large focus on Disney+, the days of this bumper may be numbered.

40th Bumper (April 3, 2007-) (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment) (Blu-ray)

Visuals: On a blue magical background, sparks fly around revealing the metallic shimmering text of bumpers in a bold cyan-silver Goudy Old Style font.

• Coming to THEATERS
• Now in THEATERS
• Coming to (Blu-ray Disc logo)
• Coming To (Disney Blu-ray logo)
• Now on (Blu-ray Disc logo)
• On (Blu-ray Disc logo) and DVD (only used on the 2010 UK Blu-ray of A Bug's Life )
• Coming to (2002-10 Disney Channel logo)
• Coming to (2009-15 Disney XD logo)
• Bientot a laffice
• Bientot sur Blu-ray et DVD
• The ID's background can also be seen on a Disney Blu-ray promo and in the 2008 variant of the Sneak Peeks menu.
• On the 2008 Blu-ray release of Enchanted , the "Coming to Blu-ray Disc" bumper appears twice, once before a trailer for Sleeping Beauty: Platinum Edition , and once again before trailers for National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets and Tinker Bell .
• Some 2020 releases feature cases of pandemic-related production snafus. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil , Frozen II , and Onward all have the "Coming to Theaters" bumper precede trailers for Mulan (2020) and Soul , both of which were instead released on Disney+ (although Soul did have a limited internation theatrical run in countries where Disney+ was unavailable, as well as a worldwide home media release). On The Call of the Wild (2020) and Onward , the trailer for Jungle Cruise still says "In Theaters 2020," despite it eventually being released the next year. Coincidentally, the titles mentioned were the last releases to feature these bumpers.
• Early Blu-rays from Disney and its subsidiaries only had a preview for the format, or any other additional previews for that matter.
• These bumpers were mostly relegated to most Buena Vista Blu-ray releases while DVDs have the previous bumper.
• These bumpers appear on the 2010 U.S. DVD release of Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales when French is selected.
• After the trailers on DVD and Blu-ray releases from 2010-11, such as Alice in Wonderland (2010), Toy Story 3 , the Diamond Edition of The Lion King (1994), and the 25th Anniversary Edition of The Black Cauldron , the same background is used, but the text reads " To view these trailers and more ." It appears above logos for various Buena Vista-owned releases (a layout similar to the Sneak Peeks Menu). Below it is the text " Press Sneak Peeks on the main menu ".
• A still version is used where the text is replaced with "All films and promotions may not be available in all territories." This version debuted in October 6, 2009, and appears on DVD and Blu-rays from Disney and its subsidiaries as soon as all the previews are over. This is the only bumper still in use after Disney stopped using other bumpers on their newer titles by late 2020.
• A variant of this exists for Toy Story 3 , which consists of the logo reveal from the teaser trailer. This can only be seen on the first two movies' 2010 Blu-rays & other Blu-rays released from 2009-10.
• The above variant first appeared on the 2010 UK/Irish Blu-ray of A Bug's Life , but with different text.

Audio: A couple of sparks and a synth theme. A Sample from Journey .

• In some cases, a different theme is used.
• Beginning in late 2012, a different orchestral fanfare is heard. This fanfare debuted on the Blu-ray release of The Avengers .
• None for the still versions.
• The "Sneak Peeks" version features a whimsical tune, which had previously been used on the previous ID from 2006-08.
• On the Toy Story 3 version of "Stay tuned for exciting Previews including..." variant, a piece of the score is heard.
• On the UK/Irish "On Blu-ray and DVD" bumper, one of the music cues from the U.S./Canada 2006 bumper series is used.

Audio Trivia: In 2011, the musical cues were adapted for use on the previous ID.

Availability: Seen on most Disney Blu-Ray discs, but as time goes on, less sightings of this bumper are reported.

• Seen on numerous Disney Blu-rays and a few DVDs of the era, starting with the 2007 Blu-ray releases of King Arthur and G.I. Jane .
• As with the previous bumper, by 2020 only the "Coming to THEATERS" bumper was shown, and Onward was the last release to use it altogether, though the "Stay tuned For Exciting Previews..." and "All films and promotions..." bumpers are still used. For the former bumper, with Disney debuting a new logo on September 9, 2022 for its upcoming centenary in 2023, its days may be numbered.
• Some releases such as Big Hero 6 , The Good Dinosaur , Space Buddies , Stuber , and Missing Link don't have any bumpers before previews.
• The "Coming to Blu-ray Disc" bumper was also used as part of the opening logo on a bootleg DVD of The Wolfman (2010), a Universal film, complete with the fanfare from the shortened WDSHE logo.

41st Bumper (November 6, 2007-August 25, 2009) (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)

Visuals: It starts out with clips from many Disney movies. It differs depending on the country, year or period of time that the DVD or Blu-ray was released in, but the first three always remain the same: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest , Peter Pan (1953), and The Princess Diaries . Eventually, the camera then zooms out, revealing a wall of hundreds of clips from Disney movies, both animated and live-action, old and new. More and more clips fly out, replacing some others. One by one, the words "MOVIES.", "MAGIC.", and "MORE." zoom out and fade out in various directions. Then all of the clips come together to form the 2006 Disney Castle . The ring gets drawn around the castle, as usual, then "DiSNEY", in the 2006 remake of its famous script, fades in below. After a few seconds, the bumper fades to black and a brief screen that advertises many of the films featured in the bumper appears. The text "AVAILABLE ON (DVD logo) AND ( Disney Blu-ray Disc logo)" and the titles (which may also differ depending on the previously mentioned country, year or period of time that the DVD and Blu-ray was released in) are shown in a white narrow font.

• The appearance and positioning of the "DiSNEY" text would be used to replace the "WALT DiSNEY PICTURES" text on current Disney films beginning with the November 2011 theatrical premiere of The Muppets , only it would appear out of the fairy dust coming out of the gate, instead of simply fading in. The "WALT DiSNEY PICTURES" variant made its final appearances at the beginning of the 2012 film Treasure Buddies and at the end of the theatrical release of The Lone Ranger (2013).
• This ID is commonly referred to as "There is only one, Disney" by individuals across the globe.
• Despite being mentioned in the third version of this ID, which debuted on the 2008 DVD and Blu-ray releases of WALL-E , The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was not released on both formats until December 2nd of that year. Once again, this could be considered false advertising.
• This was the Home Entertainment logo for Disney from 2007-2009.
• A lot of the movies shown in the promo weren't released on Blu-ray until years later (mostly 2009-2015) when this promo ended.
• Even after the second version debuted on the 2008 DVD and Blu-ray releases of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets , various titles from mid-late 2008 continued to use the first version.
• Even after the third version debuted on the 2008 DVD and Blu-ray releases of WALL-E , various titles from late 2008-mid 2009 continued usage of the second version.

Variant: As mentioned above, the remaining clips in the Disney Castle sequence and selection of titles in the "AVAILABLE ON (DVD logo) AND (Disney Blu-ray Disc logo)" screen may differ depending on the country, year or brief period of time that the DVD or Blu-ray was released in. Check out the lists of remaining clips and selection of titles below for more information.

• The clips from High School Musical 2 , Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and The Santa Clause 2 are replaced with clips from WALL-E , Enchanted and Tinker Bell (2008).
• On the "AVAILABLE ON..." screen, both the DVD and Disney Blu-ray Disc logos are replaced by the Disney DVD and Disney Blu-ray - Hi-Def logos, respectively.
• The Princess Diaries (2004 Special Edition DVD release and then-upcoming 2012 Blu-ray collection of both movies)
• High School Musical 2 (2007 Extended Edition DVD release and 2008 Dance Edition DVD release)
• The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
• National Treasure (2007 DVD and Blu-ray releases)
• National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
• 101 Dalmatians (referring to both the 2008 Platinum Edition DVD release of the 1961 film and the 2008 DVD release of the 1996 live-action remake)
• Freaky Friday (2003)
• Lilo & Stitch (then-upcoming 2009 Big-Wave Edition DVD release)
• Tinker Bell (2008)

Technique: All modern and beautiful effects that stand out nicely to this day.

Audio: An edited version of the overture from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (also used as the theme of American Masters and the post-1991 Morgan Creek logos). On the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest clip, Jack Sparrow states "We have our heading.", and on the Peter Pan (1953) clip, the titular character bellows "Here we GOOOOO!" After the Peter Pan (1953) clip, an announcer (Tony Rodgers) says, "From the magic within our hearts...to the adventure beyond the horizon...there is only one, Disney." As soon as the announcer finishes speaking, the overture rises to a beautiful, triumphant state and ends with a majestic climax.

Audio Variant: If one selects "Español" at the start of Disney DVDs from 2008-09, the dialogue is translated into Spanish. In addition, subtitle translations for the English text appear at the bottom of the screen, and they are also read aloud.

Availability: Seen at the beginning of numerous DVDs and Blu-rays released by Disney during this time period, preceding either the post-2006 bumpers (for non-FastPlay DVDs), the post-2007 bumpers (for Blu-rays), or the FastPlay bumper (for FastPlay DVDs). In general, this bumper debuted on the 2007 DVD and Blu-ray releases of Ratatouille (which was released under the WDHE Name), and the final release to use it was The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away .

• Some other early discs with this ID include Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End , the 2007 Collector’s Edition re-release of National Treasure , High School Musical 2: Extended Edition , Underdog (2007), The Game Plan , the 2008 reprint of Hannah Montana: Livin’ the Rock Star Life , Hannah Montana: One in a Million , Twitches Too: Double Charmed Edition , and Snow Buddies , which also contain the print logos for Walt Disney (Studios) Home Entertainment on the packaging, along with the first version of this ID.
• The final titles with this ID include the 2009 DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away , Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience , and The Tigger Movie: 10th Anniversary Edition , all of which contain the either the second or final versions of this ID. Both versions later reappeared on the 2013 DVD releases of The Sword in the Stone: 50th Anniversary Edition and Oliver & Company: 25th Anniversary Edition , and the 2019 Blu-Ray release of A Bug's Life , respectively, due to them recycling content from their previous 2008-09 DVDs and Blu-Ray.
• Please note that this ID did not appear on the 2007-08 DVD and Blu-Ray releases of Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 , Cars (as well as 2006 DVD release, this bumper was not out at the time), The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Claus , My Friends Tigger & Pooh: Super Sleuth Christmas Movie , Wish Gone Amiss , Return to Never Land: Pixie-Powered Edition , Cinderella II: Dreams Come True: Special Edition , and The Aristocats: Special Edition , possibly since these were released as the final titles under the Walt Disney Home Entertainment name. It also does not appear on the second disc of all 2-disc DVDs/Blu-rays that WDSHE released during this time period or any of the company’s releases since fall 2009, since they contain the abridged WDSHE logo instead. It also does not appear on the 2019 DVD and Blu-Ray releases of Ratatouille and WALL-E as they go straight to the other opening previews, and also due to them being reprints of their original 2007-08 Blu-Rays and DVDs.
• In the wake of Buena Vista's renaming to Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment in November 2007 and the liquidation of their Walt Disney Home Entertainment label in February 2008, this ID appears on international editions of their DVDs and Blu-rays as well, starting with the 2007 international DVD of Air Buddies .

Examples of where to find each variant on American DVDs and Blu-rays from WDSHE:

• Version #1 (November 6, 2007-October 14, 2008): Ratatouille , Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End , the 2007 DVD edition of National Treasure , High School Musical 2: Extended Edition , Underdog (2007), Handy Manny: Fixing it Right , The Game Plan , the 2008 reprint of Hannah Montana: Livin’ the Rock Star Life , Hannah Montana: One in a Million , Twitches Too: Double Charmed Edition , Snow Buddies , Little Einsteins: Race for Space , Little Einsteins: Flight of the Instrument Fairies , the Platinum Edition release of 101 Dalmatians (1961), Enchanted , the 2008 Classic Caballeros Collection DVD releases of Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros , Cory in the House: Newt and Improved Edition , The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: Lip Syncing in the Rain , The Jungle Book 2: Special Edition , Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Storybook Surprises (international editions), and Little Einsteins: The Christmas Wish .

Final Note: After the DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Call of the Wild (2020) and Onward , respectively, Disney largely stopped using bumpers on their newer titles under the Disney , Walt Disney Animation Studios , Pixar , Marvel Studios , Lucasfilm , 20th Century Studios , and Searchlight Pictures labels, in-between their accompanying trailers, so newer releases only include the previews (first three companies), or no previews at all (latter four companies). Rarely there can be some bumpers. Disney in Australia and New Zealand no longer sell physical copies of films, being the first region to do so.

1st Bumper (1995?-1997)

Visuals: On a white background, the Disney Videos logo is seen in the bottom right corner, and the bumper text is seen in the top left.

• " PRÓXIMAMENTE ESTRENO EN CINE "
• " PROXIMAMENTE EN VIDEO "
• " A LA VENTA EN VIDEO "

Variant: On the "PRÓXIMAMENTE ESTRENO EN CINE" bumper, the Disney Videos logo is omitted, and the text is in the center of the screen.

Technique: Still image created by computer.

Availability: Found on VHS releases of the time, such as The Aristocats ( Los Aristogatos ) and Pocahontas .

2nd Bumper (1996?-1997)

Visuals: On a purple background, a crop of the Disney Videos logo is seen with the respective bumper below in gold.

• " LLEVATELA EN VIDEO "
• " LLEVATELAS EN VIDEO ¡YA! "
• " PREPARATE PARA LA PELICULA "

Availability: Used in tandem with the first bumper. Some of the VHS releases with this bumper include Sleeping Beauty ( La Bella Durmiente ) and Hercules .

3rd Bumper (1997-2005)

Visuals: On a purple gradient background with a Disney wordmark pattern, the Mexican Disney Videos logo is seen in the bottom-right corner. Then, after a second or two, the bumper text in a white Hobo font (though the A's are in the Arial font strangely) materializes in a reverse disintegration effect.

• " PROXIMAMENTE EN CINE "
• " ¡AHORA EN VIDEO! "
• " ¡PREPARATE PARA LA PELICULA! "

Variant: Starting with 2001, the background is blue-purple with a Mickey Mouse head pattern, and the Disney Videos logo is moved to the bottom-left corner.

• 1997-1999: None.
• 1998-2001: The Disney Videos logo theme.
• 2001-2005: A shimmering sound.

Availability: Found on Mexican releases at the time, such as Tarzan , Toy Story 2 , Dinosaur ( Dinosaurio ), Monsters Inc. , and The Incredibles ( Los Increíbles ).

November 1987-February 28, 1989 [ ]

ID : On a black background appears the words "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in white. The letters appear to be set in either Helvetica or Arial.

• On Can't Buy Me Love , Adventures in Babysitting , and Hello Again , the letters are in a different font and italicized.

FX/SFX : None.

Cheesy Factor : This bumper looks very plain and looks like it was done in just 2 minutes. Then again, this was Disney's very first FP ID, and they certainly got better over time. It's possible that this was just a placeholder for the next bumper. Also, the appearance of the bumper is awkwardly delayed on Good Morning, Vietnam to make room for the announcer variant on it, when if the regular version was extended just a little bit without the awkward delay, it would've been just fine.

Music/Sounds : Often, it just had an announcer saying "And now, our feature presentation from Touchstone Home Video." The announcer is Brian Cummings (later credited as the voice of Sokolov in the PS2 games Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence ).

Music Variants :

• Most tapes from 1988-1989, such as Three Men and a Baby and Big Business had the announcer saying "And now, our feature presentation."
• On Tough Guys , a rock-and-roll tune plays, and the announcer says "And now, from Touchstone Home Video, our feature presentation: Tough Guys ."
• On Adventures in Babysitting , Hello Again , and Can't Buy Me Love , the song "Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals, notably featured at the beginning of Adventures in Babysitting , is heard.
• Outrageous Fortune has the announcer saying "And now, our feature presentation from Touchstone Home Video: Outrageous Fortune ."
• Adventures in Babysitting had the announcer say "And now, our feature presentation from Touchstone Home Video: Adventures in Babysitting ."
• Good Morning, Vietnam had the announcer say "And now for our feature presentation: Good Morning, Vietnam ."

Availability : Rare. It was only seen on some Touchstone Home Video tapes from 1987 to 1989, such as D.O.A. , Good Morning, Vietnam , Three Men and a Baby , Tin Men , Can't Buy Me Love , and Tough Guys .

Scare Factor : Minimal to low.

April 18, 1989-May 27, 1992 [ ]

ID : On a gray background, we see the gold letters " FEATURE " and " PRESENTATION " in a western-style font, connecting at a fast speed & at the same time, zoom in, & zoom up. The words "shine".

Variant : Some VHS tapes from 1992 use a black background with the letters still in gold, but with more orange in it.

FX/SFX : The connecting, zooming up, and zooming in.

Music/Sounds : The first eight notes of " Great Ovation " by Steve Gray from the Bruton Music library, with an announcer (Brian Cummings, the same announcer as the previous bumper) saying "And now for our feature presentation." Unlike later bumpers, the version of the fanfare in this bumper fades out earlier than normal.

Availability : Quite rare. It was first seen on the first VHS print of Cocktail . It is also seen on many VHS releases from Touchstone Home Video and Hollywood Pictures Home Video afterwards. It was last seen on the American VHS print of Truly, Madly, Deeply . Can be also seen on the 1991 prints of Shipwrecked , White Fang , Robin Hood , The Rescuers Down Under , DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp , and The Brave Little Toaster . Also seen on the original prints of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and What About Bob? . This was preserved on numerous Touchstone Home Video prints well into the late '90s even with the latest FBI warning screen plastering an earlier one, as seen on a VHS of Pretty Woman . Also found on Regal Home Video releases in the Philippines, such as Aswang .

Scare Factor : Low for the early variant and medium for the 1992 variant. The sudden zooming of the words and the announcer might catch some off guard, and the font of the text may spook some, and the pitch black background in the 1992 only makes it worse, since it makes it difficult to determine when it will appear, especially without warning, but it's pretty tame. However, it can increase on Regal Home Video releases since the Regal Pictures "R from Hell" follows it.

November 1991-August 31, 1999 [ ]

ID : On a lilac blue gradient background, we see the words "Feature Presentation" writing themselves in the Laser LET script font.

Trivia : This was based on other Disney IDs from the time.

• The 1992 VHS release of The Rescuers uses a black-navy blue gradient background instead of the standard lilac blue gradient background, and the text is also white.
• In October 1996, a variant tailored for Disney tapes that had the Walt Disney Company intro prior to the film was introduced on Toy Story with the announcer, Beau Weaver this time around, saying "Thanks for joining us for this special preview. And now, our feature presentation!"

FX/SFX : The handwriting.

Music/Sounds : The same eight notes from "Great Ovation" with an announcer saying "And now, our feature presentation." The announcer is Mark Elliot.

Availability : Common. It was first seen on the 3rd reissue of The Rescuers Down Under from 1991. It could also be seen on all Walt Disney Classics tapes starting in 1992 such as 101 Dalmatians , Aladdin , The Rescuers , and Pinocchio , as well as Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection releases from the era such as The Lion King , The Hunchback of Notre Dame , Sleeping Beauty and others. It was last used for Belle's Tales of Friendship and Hercules: Zero to Hero , as both specials were released on the same day. Strangely, this logo can also be seen on most 1999 VHS releases, such as 101 Dalmatians (WDMC tape) and The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue , which is rather odd considering that the other IDs used on those VHS tapes were based off the 1994 FP bumper. It was also used on some live-action and non-Disney animated canon films released by Disney, such as Toy Story , 101 Dalmatians (live-action version), The Santa Claus , Gordy , and A Goofy Movie .

Scare Factor : Depending on the variant:

• Regular variant: Medium to High. Some people might not like the font the words are written with, and the text being animated (in stark comparison to the previous bumpers of the era that used still text) may startle more than a few people. Others may dislike the sudden fanfare as well as the announcer's voice.
• "Thanks for joining us" variant: None to Low since the fanfare's volume sounds are lowered, and a more friendly voice is used.
• Navy Blue variant: Medium to Nightmare because of the darker background, as well as the sudden fanfare, announcer, and animation/font of the text. The scare factor may be raised due to the logo being followed by the distorted Walt Disney Classics logo. The variant overall seems more ominous than the other variants.
• None to Minimal for those who are used to seeing both the original variant and the Navy Blue variant.

Nevertheless, the regular variant is a widely popular ID.

May 27, 1992-October 28, 1994 [ ]

ID : On a black background we see the tall, blue words "FEATURE" and "PRESENTATION" connecting & zooming in at the same time.

• On most VHS tapes in 1992, most of the outlining of "FEATURE PRESENTATION" is blacked out. Also, the text is tinted in white.
• On the 1992 release of So Dear to My Heart , the same voiceover from the 1989 FP with Brian Cummings was heard.
• On the original 1992 VHS of Father of the Bride (the first tape to use this bumper), there is a different announcer, Grant Goodeve, saying "And now our feature presentation".
• Some post-1994 tapes, like the 1998 printings of The Brave Little Toaster and its sequel, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars , the 1998 WDMC VHS of The Black Cauldron , and some other videos use a "Feature Program" version of this bumper that is in a non-narrowed version of this font, and Brian Cummings says "And now, our Feature Program", with the 1991 Walt Disney Home Video fanfare. The words are still zooming in, but are already connected.
• The first UK FP logo (See International logos below) is a variant with the same audio as the above listed variant, just with no announcer. Later versions of this use a different fanfare.
• Demo tapes from 1992-1994 feature the text in a different, non-narrowed font (the font used in Jeopardy clues and the 1989 versions of Paramount's warning screens ). The words are already connected, but don't connect or zoom in.

FX/SFX : The words connecting & zooming in.

Music/Sounds : Again, the first eight notes of "Great Ovation", but this time with Brian Cummings saying "And now, for our feature presentation". Later tapes feature him saying "And now, our feature presentation".

Availability : Uncommon. Can be seen on 1992-1994 tapes from Walt Disney Home Video (non-Classics/non-Masterpiece), Touchstone Home Video, and Hollywood Pictures Home Video, such as The Brave Little Toaster , Old Yeller and The Nightmare Before Christmas , among others. This can also be found on Disney VHS tapes in the Philippines, such as Toy Story .

Scare Factor : Low to Medium. Some may be startled by the the text's animation and spooky style of font as well as the dark background, but it's otherwise harmless. The next ID however is an entirely different story...

October 28, 1994-November 9, 1999 [ ]

ID : On a white background, which quickly changes to black, the shiny blue text "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in the font ITC Tiepolo SC, zooms out. When it reaches the middle of the screen, a white flash occurs. The background changes to blue and the text becomes white.

Trivia : This was based on the Disney IDs from the time.

• On some tapes, the text fades in on the background after the "STAY TUNED AFTER THE FEATURE" text (the Special Preview ID of the time) fades out, and the voice over is in a deeper tone. The music is also extended--after the quiet note, we hear a brief synth theme.
• Earlier releases had the text already white when it zooms out.

FX/SFX : The zoom in, and the white flash.

Music/Sounds : A whooshing sound followed by an orchestral hit and a quiet note followed by an announcer saying "And now, our feature presentation". The announcer is Brian Cummings.

Availability : Uncommon. It debuted on Hollywood's Holy Matrimony in fall 1994, and can be seen on VHS releases afterwards until 1999 from Disney's (then-owned/then-active) film divisions and subsidiaries: Hollywood, Touchstone, Miramax, and Dimension. It can also be seen on many 1995-1999 Walt Disney Home Video prints from the era, although all Masterpiece Collection prints and most WDHV prints from 1999 feature the third ID instead. Although the logo was officially last used on Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You , Dimension Home Video continued use of this bumper well into the early-mid 2000s. Strangely, this also appears on The Great Mouse Detective and the Masterpiece Collection release of Peter Pan , Melody Time , The Black Cauldron and Lady and the Tramp , which is rather odd considering that they use previews that were usually accompanied by the 1991 FP ID.

Scare Factor : High to Nightmare, because the very sudden flash combined with the somewhat scary music can catch you off-guard, especially since it comes after a trailer with no warning at all whatsoever. The text and the announcer don't look nor sound too friendly, either. However, it's less scary for those used to it.

March 31, 1998 (A) [ ]

ID : We start with the camera zooming out of a extremely close, tilted shot of the words "FEATURE PRESENTATION", done in gold. As the camera pans out to a confortable distance/angle, the letters are revealed to be sitting at the center of a dark-blue stadium on a gradient black to indigo background, with several spotlights standing still in the background. The logo is shown on a live-action television, viewed from a fishbowl underwater. As a result, the logo look slightly distorted by the ripples in the water, and as the camera pans into the television set the logo is being shown on, the aforementioned fish are initially seen at the left and right of the screen, and a castle that is in the fishbowl is covers up part of the lower-left screen.

Trivia : The bumper can be considered a prototype variant of the 2001 FP logo, as this was technically the first Disney FP made in CGI.

FX/SFX : The bumper itself is made entirely with computer animation, but the bumper is shown in a live-action setting-specifically on a live-action television, from within a live-action fishbowl underwater.

Cheesy Factor : No qualms with the actual bumper (it's actually animated pretty well), but the CGI used on Gil and Phil is rather dated nowadays, and as a result they look kind of creepy.

Music/Sounds : The actual bumper is silent, but we hear Gil and Phil conversing with Jodi and themselves about the upcoming film they are about to watch: Gil: "Yeah, the shrimp!" (This is in response to Jodi listing off Flounder as one of the characters from the film they -and by extension, the audience- are about to watch.) Phil: "Well, grab a seat, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show."

Availability : Extremely rare. Seen only on the 1998 VHS re-release of The Little Mermaid .

Scare Factor : None whatsoever for the bumper itself, although some may be creeped out by the dated appearance of Gil and Phil.

October 27, 1998 (B) [ ]

ID : There is a white flash that becomes a yellow square, which moves to the upper right of the screen to reveal a blue background with a test pattern. Then the words "feature presentation" in white zoom in while a purple filmstrip appears and wipes the background away. The background becomes black and "feature" moves from right to left above "presentation".

FX/SFX : Everything.

Music/Sounds : A whooshing sound when the flash appears, followed by Brian Cummings saying "And now, Disney proudly presents: The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride! ".

Availability : Extremely rare. This only appears on the original VHS release of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride .

Scare Factor : Low to Medium. It's tamer than the 6th ID, but will catch some off-guard because of the background and the "Feature Presentation" text as well as the whooshing sound. If people were expecting the 5th bumper but got this, then the scare factor may be raised.

December 14, 1999-February 7, 2006 [ ]

ID : On a gold background, we see the text "Feature Presentation" zooming to the left. Then, "Feature" zooms to the left and the "PRESENTATION" zooms to the right, changing the background to a blue background with a blurry filmreel on it, and they connect together in the middle. Gold arrows and multicolored rectangles move around the bumper in different ways.

• On most tapes, such as Toy Story 2 and the 1999 VHS of Annie , the announcer says the text a little slower in a deeper voice.
• The 1999 VHS tapes of Inspector Gadget , Pinocchio , and Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas have the bumper's voiceover used on bumpers based off their respective films.
• One variant has Beau Weaver saying the text. This was seen only on the 2000 VHS of Tarzan and the Gold Classic Collection VHS of Toy Story (presumably because these two tapes use the Walt Disney Company intro).

FX/SFX : The objects moving. Great animation and a nice artistic look which looks almost ahead of its time.

Music/Sounds : A flat, somber 4-note synth theme culminating in a distant rumble. Brian Cummings says "And now, our feature presentation!".

Availability : Seen on most Walt Disney Home Entertainment VHS releases from the era, as well as some other VHS releases from the era from Hollywood Pictures Home Video, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Touchstone Home Entertainment, Miramax Home Entertainment and Dimension Home Video. The first tapes to use this bumper were the 1999 VHS releases of A Knight in Camelot , Tower of Terror , Gold Rush , and Safety Patrol , and was reportedly last seen on the 2006 VHS of Bambi II . Don't expect to find this bumper on post-2006 VHS releases, however, because most post-2006 releases either start off with just a logo and then the start of the movie, or stick an FBI warning between the logo and the start of the movie.

Scare Factor : None to low. The music may startle some, but it is a good bumper to be exact, and is also tamer than the 1991 and 1994 IDs.

2002-2004 [ ]

ID : On a blue background, the red words "Feature Presentation", written in a childish font, fly in, followed by a square transition cutting the logo to black.

FX/SFX : The usual handprints and word movement animation from these bumpers.

Cheesy Factor : The background seems to be recycled from its feature program counterpart, and then edited to look brighter.

Music/Sounds : A whimsical woodwind jingle, with Brian Cummings saying "And now, our feature presentation!"

Availability : Very rare, since it was used in tandem with the last bumper (and the next one as well), and it was only seen on seven preschool-oriented videos from Walt Disney Home Entertainment: The Book Of Pooh: A Valentine For Eeyore , the 2002 VHS of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh , Winnie The Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year , Winnie The Pooh: Un-Valentine's Day , Winnie The Pooh: Springtime With Roo , Rolie Polie Olie: The Baby Bot Chase and Very Merry Christmas: Sing Along Songs .

Scare Factor : None to minimal. It's a cute bumper, though it can surprise some who were expecting its feature program variant.

August 7, 2001-October 4, 2005 [ ]

ID : We see a CGI version of the WDP castle on a cloud, with fireworks exploding on a dusk background. We zoom in and through the entrance at the same time as some stars. A large firework goes off in the center of the screen, while circles of what are supposed to like filmstrips spin around, with a still image of a Disney/Pixar film on each frame. A circle of stars spins at the top of it, then the filmstrips and circle of stars go down as the text "FEATURE PRESENTATION", in gold (and in a similar font to the 1st CGI bumper), comes up from the bottom of the screen. After the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" text moves up to the center of the screen, several fireworks fly up and explode behind the text.

FX/SFX : All the animation in the bumper, which is entirely made up of CGI.

Music/Sounds : A majestic fanfare with a change in pitch at the very end.

Availability : Rare. This was used completely in tandem with the previous bumper. Seen on Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the Platinum Edition VHS of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the 2002 Special Edition VHS of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas and 2001 prints of the Gold Classic Collection VHS of Mary Poppins, The Incredibles, among others. The last tape to use this logo was the 2005 VHS of Cinderella: Special Edition.

Scare Factor : None to low. If you were expecting the previous bumper but got this, the fanfare and the fast pace may startle you, but it's harmless really.

International Bumpers [ ]

Australia [ ], 1993-2001 [ ].

ID : On a black to dark blue gradient background, the words "Feature Presentation" in a white to light blue gradient color separately zoom in from the top and bottom of the screen respectively, and meet in the middle. After a second, the words shine.

FX/SFX : The words flying, the shining, & connecting.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Seen on 1993-2001 Disney videos from Australia, such as Toy Story. Australian Disney VHS tapes from 2001-2006 use the American 1999 Filmreel FP bumper.

Scare Factor : Minimal. The dark background and the style of font may get to some viewers, but it's pretty tame otherwise.

2001-2006 [ ]

**skip to 0:11**

ID : Same as the 1999 Filmreel FP ID.

FX/SFX : Same as the 1999 Filmreel FP ID.

Music/Sounds : The same music from the 1999 Filmreel FP ID, without the announcer.

Availability : Seen on post-2001 Disney VHS tapes from Australia, such as Pokémon 4Ever, Monsters Inc., and The Country Bears.

Scare Factor : It all ultimately depends on how you feel about the music, although since the announcer is not there, there may be a slight reliever for those who also get scares from him on the US/Canada version.

United Kingdom [ ]

September 9, 1992-march 22, 2004 [ ].

ID : Same as the domestic ID.

FX/SFX : Same as the domestic ID.

Music/Sounds : From 1992-1994, the 1991 WDHV music was used. In 1994, it was replaced by a majestic fanfare, sounding like a remix of the 1991-2002 WDHV jingle.

Availability : Very common. Seen on Buena Vista videos from United Kingdom, like Chicago , Kill Bill Volume 1 , Toy Story 2 , George of the Jungle , and many more Buena Vista tapes from the UK.

Scare Factor : Same as the domestic ID.

March 1, 2004-February 20, 2006 [ ]

ID : On a black background with bright rays in the middle of the screen, the words "FEATURE PRESENTATION" zoom out and two white lines appear above and below it. After a few seconds, a flash appears and brightens the whole screen, before cutting to black.

FX/SFX : The words zooming out, the rays, the flash.

Music/Sounds : A calm orchestral tune, followed by a whoosh.

Availability : Less common but seen on later Disney VHS tapes from the era, such as Brother Bear and The Haunted Mansion .

Scare Factor : Minimal to medium.

Latin America [ ]

Late 1980s-1990s [ ].

ID : On a black background, we see the words "Atracción Principal" (which means "Feature Presentation" in Spanish) in a gradient gray color and with a shadow-effect applied to it.

Cheesy Factor : The "shadow" effect applied to the text doesn't really work on a black background, and the bumper overall looks very plain and unprofessional.

Music/Sounds : Just the first eight notes of "Great Ovation" without a voiceover.

Availability : Can be found on Spanish Disney-associated videocassettes of the period, including Spanish VHS of Disney films like The Aristocats and Toy Story as well as the Canta con Nosotros series.

Scare Factor : Medium. The dark background and the sudden fanfare might get to some viewers. The lack of an announcer may also startle viewers who are used to the announcers in the domestic logos.

Venezuela [ ]

Early 1990s- [ ].

ID : On a purple background with Mickey Mouse shapes, we see a green Mickey Mouse shape write the words "Preparate a disfrutar de nuestra presentación Disney..." (which means "Get ready to enjoy our Disney presentation..." in Spanish).

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor : The green Mickey Mouse shape "writing" the words.

Music/Sounds : The 1994 variant of the UK variant of the 1992 Black/Blue "Feature Presentation" bumper.

Availability : Seen on Buena Vista tapes from Venezuela, often distributed by Video Rodven sublabel Venevista Video, such as Winnie Puh: Haciendo Amigos .

Scare Factor : Low. The rather loud fanfare could get to some.

1990s-???? [ ]

ID : On a blue background, we see the words "ZAPRASZAMY NA FILM" (which means "Welcome to the film" in Polish) in white and in a bold font.

Music/Sounds : Same as the 1994 variant of the UK variant of the 1992 Black/Blue "Feature Presentation" ID.

Availability : Seen on Chip i Dale: Brygada RR , and possibly a few Polish Disney tapes from the 90s.

Scare Factor : Same as the Venezuelan variant.

Early 1990s-Early 2000s [ ]

ID : We see a scene from the cartoon Mickey's Birthday Party . Text fades in on the bottom-left corner of the screen. It reads "Y AHORA SU PELICULA" (which means "And now your film" in Spanish).

FX/SFX : The animation from Mickey's Birthday Party and the text fading in.

Music/Sounds : A dreamy tune which sounds similar to the early 1990s Buena Vista Home Video logo.

Availability : Common; seen on Buena Vista tapes from Chile.

Scare Factor : None.

Canadian-French [ ]

Mid-1990s- [ ].

ID : Same as the Latin American variant, expect the words instead read "Notre programme principal" (which means "Our main program" in French).

Cheesy Factor : Same as the Latin American variant.

Music/Sounds : Same as the Latin American variant.

Availability : Can be found on Canadian-French Disney-associated videocassettes of the period, including Les Trois Caballeros .

Scare Factor : Same as the Latin American variant.

(1992; 1998) [ ]

See the clip-on library page for the description.

(1997–1998) [ ]

(2000–2005) [ ]

(2002–2006) [ ]

Variants [ ]

(alvin and the chipmunks) (1992–1995) [ ].

Bumper: On the same background of the Jay Ward Buena Vista Home Video logo, we see the brownish-gold text "Feature Program" zooming in fast.

FX/SFX: The zooming in of the words "FEATURE PROGRAM".

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1992 Feature Program bumper.

Availability: Seen on few Alvin and the Chipmunks tapes. A few Alvin and the Chipmunks tapes from that year either use the Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing-Along variant or cut straight to the theme song from the Alvin and the Chipmunks preview. This was also seen on the 1995 VHS of Parachute Express: Come Sing with Us .

(Jim Henson Video) (1992–1995) [ ]

Nicknames : "Comic Sans Prototype"

Bumper : On a green background, we see the white words "FEATURE PROGRAM" in the Dawncastle font, which resembles a prototype version of the infamous Comic Sans font.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : The last few notes of Howard Pfeifer's "All For Just One Thin Dime" with Brian Cummings saying "And now, our feature program."

Music/Sounds Variant :

• On Jim Henson Video tapes, Beau Weaver provides the voice-over.
• On Muppet Babies videos and Muppet Sing-Alongs: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs, the screeching trumpet theme from the end of the Muppet Babies closing theme is heard. Beau Weaver provides the voice-over.
• On the 1994 VHS of Muppet Sing-Alongs: It's Not Easy Being Green a dramatic trumpet theme plays, the words are replaced with "STAY TUNED..." and an announcer says "Stay tuned after the show to find out about more great Muppet entertainment". The words fade out and "FEATURE PROGRAM" fades in, then the announcer says "And now...Get ready to sing with all your favorite Muppets."

Availability : Seen on the 1995 VHS of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories and an assortment of Jim Henson Video releases, such as The Great Muppet Caper , Hey Cinderella! and, judging by how many trailer and preview videos are made out of it, the quite mimetically popular Muppet Sing-Alongs: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs. Also seen on some 1993 prints of The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper due to a video editing error (other prints use Jim Henson Video's Feature Presentation logo instead).

Editor's Note : The Muppet Babies / Billy Bunny variant has bothered some, due to the "Bad Trumpet" theme being played in the ID.

(Disney's Haunted Mansion) (1993) [ ]

Nickname : "Haunted Scene"

Bumper : We start with an image of a tree, full moon, and black clouds in a gray background. After a second, the text "Feature Program" in an orange "Matterofact" font with a dark green border appears.

FX/SFX : The lightning flash and "Feature Program" appearing.

Music/Sounds : An organ theme is heard with some other typical Halloween sound effects (i.e.: wind blowing, lightning striking, a wolf howling). Brian Cummings then eerily says "And now, our feature program!" and does an evil laugh!

Availability : Rare, only seen on Disney's Haunted Mansion (not to be confused with the 2003 film The Haunted Mansion ) tapes.

Availability: Seen on few Alvin and the Chipmunks tapes such as "Trick or Treason" (which is strange because it is a Halloween special) or "Robomunk". Also seen on Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing-Along tapes.

Background [ ]

Paramount Home Entertainment (formerly known as "Paramount Home Media Distribution", "Paramount Home Video", and "Paramount Video") is Paramount Pictures ' home media division and was formed around 1978/1979 (some sources claim late 1975). The company owns the home media rights to films and shows owned by Paramount and shows from sister company ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks (under individual labels such as MTV Home Video and other subsidiaries). The company also licenses the right to release material from CBS Corporation (now known as Paramount Global) such as CBS Studios / CBS Media Ventures and Showtime Networks material released through CBS Home Entertainment , (although CBS Films material is released by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Lionsgate Home Entertainment ) and several independent studios. They formerly released DreamWorks Animation material through DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment until 2014, when the latter acquired distribution rights to their library and transferred the rights to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment . On September 27, 2011, Paramount Home Entertainment was renamed Paramount Home Media Distribution after merging with Paramount Digital and Television. Starting in 2012, the Republic Pictures library and select Paramount films were licensed to Olive Films (until 2017), Kino Lorber Studio Classics, Shout! Factory, Arrow Films, and the Criterion Collection. From 2013-17, much of the company's output was co-released in conjunction with Warner Home Video . Paramount continues to release licensed material (such as from Peacock ) and material from sister companies. In May 2019, the company went back to the Paramount Home Entertainment name.

Paramount Home Video [ ]

1st logo (september 1979-june 1980) [ ].

Nicknames : "Still Mountain," "Boring Mountain," "Home Video Blue Mountain"

Logo : On a navy blue background, the text "Paramount" in its famous script can be seen, with "HOME VIDEO" below that in a wide Microgramma Bold font sandwiched between two lines, one above and one below. To the right of that is the 1968 Paramount print logo with the Gulf+Western byline. A moment later, the logo crossfades to a navy blue warning screen.

Variant : A black and white variant exists for releases of B&W films, such as Stalag 17 and The Elephant Man .

FX/SFX : The crossfade to the warning screen.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Ultra rare. This was only seen on the earliest batch of VHS and Betamax tapes, and as a result, these are very hard to find.

• Titles that have this include the first two Godfather films, Saturday Night Fever , Grease , Heaven Can Wait , True Grit , Goin' South , Play It Again Sam , The Bad News Bears , Prophecy , and Catch 22 .
• Among the last releases to use this logo were five volumes of Star Trek episodes as part of the "Television Classics" series on VHS and Betamax in early 1980 (which are long out of print, having been replaced in 1985 by Paramount's single episodes releases, and are hard to find), as well as tapes of North Dallas Forty , Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman , and early copies of Escape from Alcatraz .
• This surprisingly appears on a late 1983 pressing of The Odd Couple (usually, releases printed around that time started with the "Acid Trip" warning screen, followed by the Paramount Pictures logo), which is likely a reprint.

Editor's Note : It's a little simple, but this is one of the earliest home video logos ever, so don't expect a showstopper.

2nd Logo (July 1980-October 1981; 1984; March 5, 2019) [ ]

Nicknames : "Mountain Silhouette," "Mountain of Doom," "Black Mountain," "Rising Mountain," "Cheesy Mountain," "In the Shadow of Paramount"

Logo : On a blue background, a silhouette of a mountain appears as the camera zooms out. After zooming to a comfortable distance, a bright flash occurs behind the mountain, and white "stars" (looking more like lens flares) appear, as well as "Paramount" (in a school bus yellow script, but closer to the pre-1975 logos). A saffron-colored trapezoidal trail zooms out from the base, and "HOME VIDEO" (set in the same font as the previous logo) zooms out soon after, tacked onto the saffron-colored trail. As that happens, the blue background gets extremely dark (looking like federal blue). The end result looks similar to the pre-1967 print logo.

Trivia : The second half of the logo was first used as the 1977 Paramount Television Service logo, which explains the rough cut after the mountain zoom out. "PARAMOUNT TELEVISION SERVICE" was featured at the bottom, which explains the chyron for "HOME VIDEO". If one looks very closely as the trail zooms out, the original text can barely be made out before the chyron appears.

Variant : On Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown! , the logo cuts to the second half of the film's Paramount logo.

FX/SFX : The flash behind the mountain, the stars and text zooming toward the screen. All scanimate effects that were produced by the design firm of Sullivan & Marks, who also did the earlier Paramount Television Service version.

Music/Sounds : A pounding backbeat as the mountain zooms out, then a synth chord mixed with a brief explosion sound and synthesized sizzling.

Availability : Extremely rare, but more because of the fact that this was only used on two batches of releases and re-releases.

• Seen on VHS/Betamax releases of the time, which are not that easy to find, especially since the logo was usually taken off of post-1981 prints. However, since this was on a decent variety of movies, it may help a little. Among the releases are Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!) , Death Wish , Breaking Glass , Friday the 13th , Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Airplane! , Charlotte's Web , Little Darlings , a re-release of Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown! , Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy , Starting Over , American Gigolo , Urban Cowboy Shogun , and Don't Look Now .
• Also seen on certain Hi-Fi re-releases of Paramount's early releases (such as Downhill Racer and Death Wish ) from 1984, and the first Hi-Fi and Mono combined VHS release of True Grit .
• Don't expect this on any Laserdisc releases, as the LaserVision logo appeared instead.
• It made a surprise appearance on a 2019 April Fool's Day VHS trailer for Bumblebee , despite the film taking place after the logo's run had ended (the trailer also appeared on the promotional VHS version it was plugging).

Editor's Note : It shares the same amount of cheesiness from the Paramount Television Service logo, with the addition of the cheap cut to it and the chyroned "HOME VIDEO" text. It's also known to creep out some thanks to the ominous music and nature. Nonetheless, it's quite an interesting logo, and even Paramount themselves found it so cheesy, that they decided to reuse it almost 40 years later for April Fool's Day!

3rd Logo (November 1981-March 1987; late-1980s) [ ]

Nicknames : "Growing Mountain", "Blue Paramount"

Logo : On a black background, the abstract mountain logo in light blue appears, with "Paramount" in black script and the "A Gulf + Western Company" byline at the bottom. The whole logo immediately zooms up to the camera right after it fades in, as the stars (which are followed by light trail streaks) and byline zoom past, and both the mountain and circle grow bigger until all that's left is the top of the peak and "Paramount" centering in. Right after the background fully turns blue and the stars are out of view, the "Paramount" text begins to shine with a bright flash filling the screen, and it dies down to reveal the Paramount script logo (in blue) and a small "VIDEO" (where the flash dies down to) between two blue lines. It then fades out.

• Sometimes, the logo cuts to black after it finishes. This can be seen on the 1986 VHS of Teen Wolf .
• At the start of the 1986 VHS of The Untouchables: The Scarface Mob , the logo cuts in half a second late. The ending features the full logo.
• A rare, slightly longer variant exists, which starts with a still shot of the blue Paramount print logo. After a little over a second, the music starts and the logo animates as normal. The fades are also slower.
• At the end of an April 1998 Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy) airing of The Devonsville Terror , the animation is slowed down but plays as normal until all there is is "Paramount" and the mountain, when the logo freezes in place and the rest of the music is heard. It's unknown if this was used anyplace other than this.

FX/SFX : The mountain and other elements growing, the text shining and flashing. Pure Scanimate effects that look better than the previous logo.

Music/Sounds : A building set of synthesized strings, ending in a new-age 4-note synthesizer tune. Composed by Richard J. Krizman.

Music/Sounds Trivia : The 4-note tune sounds very similar to the "Meet George Jetson" portion of the theme song to The Jetsons .

Music/Sounds Variant : On the 1983 RCA CED videodisc release of An Evening with Robin Williams , this follows the RCA SelectaVision logo, but is silent.

Availability : Very rare.

• This was mostly reserved for VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc & CED releases of television shows, specials, and non-Paramount licensed material. Most Paramount films released during this period instead went straight to the film after the warning screen, as does, surprisingly, Toho's Godzilla vs. Monster Zero .
• Some releases where this can be seen include episodes of Star Trek (except the 1984 Television Classics Laserdisc release of the two-parter "The Menagerie," which uses no logo), Paramount Comedy Theater: Volume 1 , Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! , Heathcliff: The Movie , The Adventures of the American Rabbit , Teen Wolf and Call to Glory .
• It was also seen on some prints of the 1982 VHS release of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (the earliest prints, from around 1982-early 1983, have no logo), as well as on a 1990 reprint.
• It is also seen on the 1991-92 releases of Toho's The Wizard of Oz and A Dog of Flanders (along with the warning that preceded it), also likely reprints themselves.
• The black and white version can be found on The Untouchables: The Scarface Mob and Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back .
• This was surprisingly retained on 1990s re-releases of Strong Kids, Safe Kids , Eddie Murphy: Delirious and The Metropolitan Opera: La Bohème following the 5th logo.
• This also appeared on 1984-86 episodes of the Showtime sitcom Brothers , which was produced by Paramount Video during that timeframe (Paramount Television took over for the 1987-89 episodes).

Editor's Note : This is a favorite of many, thanks to its soothing music and rather high-tech (for the time) animation.

4th Logo (April 1987-October 7, 2003; mid-2000s) [ ]

Nicknames : "CGI Mountain," "Model Mountain"

Logo : It's just the 1986 Paramount Pictures logo without a video indicator, except it's videotaped, the picture quality is sharper, and the color scheme is brighter than normal.

• April 1987-1989: "A Gulf + Western Company". 1987 releases used the 75th Anniversary variant, while 1988-89 releases used the standard version.
• 1989-1995: "A Paramount Communications Company" with a line above the byline fades in. 1989-90 releases had the byline and line above it in gold, while 1990-95 releases had them in white.
• 1995-October 7, 2003: "A VIACOM COMPANY" (in the 1990 \/|/\CO/\/\ "Wigga Wigga" font) with a line above the byline fades in, again, in white.
• A black and white version was found on the 1988 VHS releases of Hamlet and This Sporting Life .
• At the end of some home video promos from the early 1990s, the logo is shortened to when the semi-circle forms. Alongside the byline, a copyright notice fades in. This variant surprisingly appears in place of the regular logo on the screener tape of Trancers III: Deth Lives! , immediately after the warning screen.
• A still version is used at the end of some releases. Normally, this fades in and out, but on Snoopy Double Feature: What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown/It's Magic, Charlie Brown and Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Pajama Party , it cuts in and fades out.

FX/SFX : The same as the Paramount logo from 1986.

Music/Sounds Variant : Following a retailer promo for Drop Zone on its demo VHS, the 1987 Paramount Television theme plays.

Availability : Extremely common.

• This was used as a de-facto home video logo, and can be seen on every licensed VHS and Laserdisc release from that period. This also includes television series, comedy specials, and films from other companies like Atlantic Releasing Corporation, Skouras Pictures, Full Moon Entertainment, and Toho.
• Look for either the 75th Anniversary print logo, or the standard Gulf+Western print logo (with no mention of "HOME VIDEO") on the packaging and labels. The 75th Anniversary logo plasters over the original "Blue Mountain" logo on the 1987 home video releases of Ferris Bueller's Day Off , "Crocodile" Dundee , Children of a Lesser God , and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home .
• Meanwhile, the standard Gulf+Western version plasters over the 75th Anniversary logo on the 1988 releases of Beverly Hills Cop II , The Untouchables , Back to the Beach , Fatal Attraction , and Planes, Trains, & Automobiles . International releases of these films (all released by CIC Video except for "Crocodile" Dundee ) will likely have the film's original logo intact.
• Strangely, the Great American Writers Series VHS of The Great Gatsby plasters the film's original Paramount logo with the Gulf+Western variant. The Paramount Communications variant also makes a surprise appearance on the 1995 VHS of Through the Eyes of a Killer , which has the Viacom variant of the next logo preceding it.
• In all other cases, Paramount films released during this period will use the logo originally used on the film, or sometimes a newer-byline plaster of the same theatrical logo.
• This was also used on all 1994-2004 Peanuts releases and all Nickelodeon releases from 1996-2003, as well as the 2003 VHS of Two of Us , and at the end of the 1993 VHS of Sunstroke (in place of the Paramount Television logo).
• The 75th Anniversary variant was also used on a Showtime broadcast of Hamburger Hill from March 1991.
• It was also seen on the direct-to-video films The Little Bear Movie and Blue's Big Musical Movie .
• The logo makes unexpected appearances on demo tapes from 2004-07, such as Broadway: An American Musical , Jakers: Piggly Gets Into Trouble , and The Wonder Pets: Save The Wonder Pets . It was also spotted on a Mexican VHS of Collateral as well.
• Occasionally, this will appear before the opening previews on certain tapes. Examples include the Paramount reissue of Rugrats: A Baby's Gotta Do What a Baby's Gotta Do and some other Nickelodeon tapes from 1996.

Editor's Note : Despite it simply being a videotaped variant of their 1986 theatrical logo, this may be one of the most common home video logos ever due to its 16-year lifespan and appearance on nearly every Paramount-licensed release during this period. It even rivals that of MGM's or Disney's logos, or even the following bumper.

5th Logo (May 17, 1989-December 2008) [ ]

Nicknames : "Feature Presentation," "Coming Attractions," "Abstract Mountain," "The ID-ish Logo", "90th Anniversary"

Logo : On a background filled with textured indigo squares, a blue square with the 1968 Paramount print logo (with one of three bylines) in gold sits in the middle of the screen. The stars shine from left to right, then moves and zooms away as the squares behind it pull away, revealing the stacked words "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in gold zooming in on a heliotrope gradient background. The words shine, and after that, it zooms towards the camera at breakneck speed. Just when the text engulfs the screen, it cuts to a warning screen, which has a pattern of Paramount mountains in the background.

Bylines : This used whatever byline Paramount was using at the time:

• May 1989 - November 1989: " A Gulf+Western Company "
• November 1989 - June 1995: " A Paramount Communications Company " (in sans serif font with a line above)
• June 1995 - December 2008: " A VIACOM COMPANY " (in its 1990 corporate "wigga-wigga" font with a line above)
• The Paramount Communications variant of this uses the same serif font for the byline as the theatrical logo, with the text and line being a bit further apart than the Feature Presentation one.
• Black and white versions of the Gulf+Western and Paramount Communications variants exist. They can be seen on the 1989-90 VHS releases of Sunset Boulevard , The Delicate Delinquent , The Desperate Hours , The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance , and Hell Is for Heroes .
• Some prints of Changing Lanes have this logo cut to the wallpaper warning screen instead of the dark blue one, due to a tape manufacturing error. This is probably due to the fact that earlier prints used the standard Feature Presentation logo instead of this one.
• This also occurs on the 1989 VHS of Will Penny , but the bumper instead cuts to the start of the film as it and the warning screen had their usual orders swapped.
• A shorter version of the Viacom variant exists where after the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" text zooms in, it suddenly cuts to black. This can be seen on the 1997 releases of the Godfather trilogy, the 2003 Filipino VCD of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life , UK and Australian releases that have special features after the film, and the 1994 screener VHS of Dragonworld (this also applies to promotional copies of Paramount films as well, although the demo warning screen appears after a split-second of a black screen).
• On the 1991 screener VHS of Hired to Kill , the logo cuts in a half-second late.
• On a few screener cassettes from 1991-95 such as The Two Jakes , Soapdish , The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult , and Clear and Present Danger , a timecode can be seen in various positions.

Variants Trivia : The cloud background for the 90th Anniversary variant is simply footage taken from a stock video library. The footage in question can be viewed here at approximately 6:30.

FX/SFX : The shine on the stars, the squares moving away, the zooming of the text. Amazing CGI work that still holds up today.

Music/Sounds : The 1987 remixed Paramount on Parade fanfare, composed by Jerry Goldsmith, with the intro chimes omitted and a slightly different lead. As the squares separate, a male announcer (most likely Bill McAllister) says one of the following:

• Coming Attractions : "Here are some exciting coming attractions from Paramount."
• This voiceover would mostly be used for videocassette releases that had previews before the feature, as well as Paramount Communications-era Philips CD-I releases (excluding The Addams Family , Black Rain , and Apocalypse Now , which use the other voiceover).
• Some tapes without opening previews mistakenly use this voiceover, such as a reprint of the original 1989 VHS release of Major League , the 1989 VHS of Sunset Boulevard , a few Star Trek titles (one printing of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier , the pan and scan version of the 1991 Star Trek: The Movies VHS box set [the widescreen version uses the correct "Paramount is..." voiceover], and Star Trek: Nemesis ), the screener VHS of Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (the commercial release does have previews before the film), the 1996 reissue of Flashdance , Cousins , Scrooged , Paycheck , Extreme Ops , the 2005 reissues of Mean Girls and School of Rock , Timeline , and Kid Cop .
• This was used with all three bylines, and can be found on Laserdiscs, Viacom-era Philips CD-I discs, and videocassettes without opening previews.
• This voiceover was also rarely used for the 90th Anniversary variant, appearing on Damaged Care , Bleacher Bums , My Horrible Year! , Bobbie's Girl , the demo tapes of SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash and Hey Arnold!: The Movie , and The Day Reagan Was Shot .
• On rare occasions, this variation did appear right after the opening previews, such as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade , Wayne's World , Delicatessen , Pet Shop , Spellbreaker: Secret of the Leprechauns , the 1996 VHS of Ferris Bueller's Day Off , screener tapes of Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth , The Silver Stallion: King of the Wild Brumbies , It's All True , Intersection , Jimmy Hollywood , The Browning Version , I.Q. , Pontiac Moon , Parallel Lives , Dead Man on Campus , Hollywood Confidential , Midnight Man , Bad Apple , Apres Vous , Asylum , Year of the Dog , Next , Rugrats: Grandpa's Favorite Stories , Mad Hot Ballroom , Winter Solstice , and Ask the Dust , and two in a series of four videocassettes sold as part of a 1993 McDonald's promotion, namely The Addams Family and Ghost ( Charlotte's Web and Wayne's World were the other two, but both use the correct voiceover). The McDonald's releases have the Rank Home Video print logo on one of the spines on the slipcovers for those films and a face label on the tapes with a special red, yellow, black and white color scheme.

Music/Sounds Variants :

• On the VHS of The Desperate Hours and the Laserdisc of The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live (both released in 1989), the ending of the fanfare is cut off. This also happens on the screeners of Leapin' Leprachauns! and Magic in the Mirror: Fowl Play , except at a slightly later point in the music.
• On the 1991 screener VHS of Subspecies , the bumper is silent. This was fixed on the commercial release.
• On the 1991 screener VHS of Hired to Kill , the music starts a split-second in due to the logo cutting in.

Availability : Very common overall. It appears on most Paramount VHS, Laserdisc, VCD and CD-I releases.

• It made its overall debut alongside the "Feature Presentation" bumper on Coming to America , and was last used on The Phantom .
• The Paramount Communications variant is the most common, while the Gulf+Western and Viacom variants are significantly harder to come by.
• While it usually appears as the very first thing on the tape, it appears second on the aforementioned Coming to America (after a Pepsi commercial) and two Peanuts tapes from 1994 released in conjunction with Travelodge: It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown and You Don't Look 40, Charlie Brown (both after a Travelodge promotional offer ad plugging Peanuts tapes).
• The Gulf+Western variant is rare, as it was only used for less than a year. Like mentioned above, it made its debut on Coming to America , and can be found on releases afterward such as the first four Star Trek films, Distant Thunder , The Experts , The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live , Cousins , The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! , Major League , Pet Sematary , and Puppet Master , among others.
• The Paramount Communications variant is more common. It debuted on Scrooged , and appears on almost all Paramount tapes from late 1989-95. It also appears on Paramount-distributed titles from Prism Entertainment, Full Moon Entertainment, Skouras Pictures, and Miramax Films, as well as some reprints past 1995, such as the 1996 reissue of It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! .
• The Viacom variant is extremely common and appears on nearly every release from June 1995 onwards, starting with Drop Zone (although the screener version uses the Paramount Communications byline). The final Paramount film released on VHS and to use this logo was Yours, Mine & Ours (2005), and the final commercial release to use it overall was Go Diego Go!: Diego Saves Christmas! . It continued to appear on screener tapes of material released afterwards up until as late as 2008, such as An Inconvenient Truth , The Wonder Pets: Save the Wonder Pets , and Ghost Town , none of which were released on VHS commercially.
• Some titles, such as the 1991 Laserdisc release of Apocalypse Now and the 1998 VHS release of Titanic , go straight to the warning screen, while on the 1997 releases of The Godfather trilogy, the logo cuts to black before the THX "Broadway" logo, as the warnings are placed at the beginning, separate from the logo. It also goes right to the warning screen on most French Canadian Paramount releases, right after Malofilm Video ceased distribution of French Canadian Paramount releases. Other releases where only the warning screen appears include the 1991 VHS releases of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the 1989 VHS of The Shootist , a 1990 reprint of Breakfast at Tiffany's , the 1989 Laserdisc of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! , some Star Trek: The Animated Series tapes, alternate copies of The Truman Show and Sliding Doors , and CHC prints of Payback .
• This makes a surprise appearance on foreign VHS releases that have any special features at the end of the tape (perhaps because American video masters were likely used over in the UK, but were edited for release there), such as the UK releases of The Italian Job (2003) and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life , and an Australian dealer copy of Jackass: The Movie .
• The bumper appears twice on double feature demo tapes, preceding both features on the cassette. It is also seen twice (with the 4th logo inserted in between) on the 1998 demo VHS of Midnight Man with both voiceover variants.
• This appears on demo VHS tapes of PBS shows from 2004-06, such as Teletubbies , Boohbah , Cyberchase , Broadway: An American Musical , and Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise & Fall of Jack Johnson . The commercial releases just start with the warning screen used on Paramount DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.
• It premiered on later prints of Vanilla Sky (earlier prints use the standard bumper) and was last seen on K-19: The Widowmaker .
• Other 2002 releases that use this variant include SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , The Sum of All Fears , Lucky Break , MTV Yoga , later prints of Crossroads and Orange County , Dora the Explorer: Move to the Music , The Day Reagan Was Shot , Damaged Care , Bleacher Bums , My Horrible Year! , the demo VHS tapes of SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash and Hey Arnold!: The Movie , all 3 Jackass volumes, and Rugrats Christmas .
• Some 2002 releases, such as Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius , SpongeBob SquarePants: Halloween , 9/11: The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition , Rugrats Halloween , Rat Race: Special Edition , the standard VHS version of Hey Arnold!: The Movie , Rugrats: Easter , We Were Soldiers , the demo VHS of SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , and Little Bill: I Love Animals , have the 90th Anniversary print logo on the spine and label, but instead use the standard bumper on the tapes themselves.

Editor's Note : Perhaps one of the most famous logos/bumpers in home video history, due to its well-done CGI animation and appearances on many video titles throughout its runtime. The loud fanfare and the cut to black on some variants may startle some, though.

The 90th Anniversary variant was a unique and impressive way to celebrate the film studio's milestone, even though it was short-lived.

6th Logo (December 1993) [ ]

Nickname : "Lined Mountain"

Logo : On a black background with blue filmstrips, "Paramount" is seen being written in a gold color in its trademark font. As this is occurring, the background is opening up in segments to reveal the 1986 Paramount logo, without a byline and the stars in a light gold color.

FX/SFX : The background opening up, "Paramount" being written, and the Paramount Pictures logo being revealed. All of this is very nice CGI.

Music/Sounds : A male announcer says, "Paramount Pictures, bringing you the best in holiday entertainment, and the best of the new year". All of this is said against a bombastic fanfare, an excerpt from The Untouchables soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone.

Availability : Very rare. This logo was seen on three out of four VHS releases by the company from the era around the Christmas season of 1993 that were available in McDonald's restaurants, those being Charlotte's Web , Ghost , and The Addams Family ( Wayne's World was the fourth, but it was merely a re-release of the standard issue).

Editor's Note : A well-animated alternate take on the 1986 theatrical logo, despite only appearing on a few promotional releases.

7th Logo (May 21, 2002-October 24, 2006) [ ]

Nicknames : "CGI Mountain III", "Ultra Majestic Mountain II", "Ultra Majestic Paramount II"

Logo : Like the 4th logo, it's just the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo without a video indicator, except it is videotaped and zoomed out.

Variant : In its first year of use, VHS and DVD releases used the "90th Anniversary" variant.

FX/SFX : Same as its movie counterpart.

Availability : Fairly common. This was used as another de-facto home video logo.

• The 90th Anniversary version is used on 2002 VHS and DVD releases such as Trading Places , SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , MTV Yoga , Dora the Explorer: Move to the Music , The Day Reagan Was Shot , Flashdance , Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (where it inexplicably plasters the 1999 film logo on VHS), Orange County (also plastering the 1999 logo, but on both formats), Black Sheep , Vanilla Sky , Major League , Damaged Care , Bleacher Bums , My Horrible Year! , all 3 Jackass volumes, and Rugrats Christmas , as well as the 2003 DVD of Easy Come, Easy Go (despite the normal logo being used on the packaging).
• The standard version is used on 2003-06 releases such as G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom , SpongeBob SquarePants: The Sponge Who Could Fly , Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown , and Go Diego Go!: Diego Saves Christmas! (where it made its final overall appearance on VHS).
• The standard version plasters the 90th Anniversary variant of the film logo on the VHS versions of Extreme Ops , The Wild Thornberrys Movie , Star Trek: Nemesis , Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure , and The Hours .
• Strangely, it doesn't appear on the DVDs of Graveyard Shift and Five Card Stud , which just start on the warning screen.

Paramount DVD [ ]

1st logo (2002) [ ].

Logo : The 1986 Paramount logo is seen on-screen already formed. However, the "Paramount" text is black in front of a DVD disc that is behind the mountain. "DVD" is seen below, with the Viacom byline below that.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : The opening of the TV spot.

Availability : Extinct. It was seen on a 2002 TV spot for the DVD release of Rat Race . It is unknown if this appeared anywhere else.

Editor's Note : Its existence was debated for a while, since its rushed look does make it look like a fan-made logo. It can otherwise be viewed as a prototype for the main logo below.

2nd Logo (January 7, 2003-March 5, 2019) [ ]

Nicknames : "CGI Disc Mountain", "Modern Mountain of Doom", "Dark Mountain of Steel", "Dark Perumount"

Logo : It starts off with the 2002 Paramount logo animation with the stars flying through the clouds, the zoom out of the "Paramount" script, and the stars coming in and circling around the mountain. After zooming away to a comfortable distance, a DVD disc suddenly flies in from the bottom with a bright light in the sky swooping by. The DVD disc glides and settles behind the summit and the Paramount script. Then, a bright flash underneath the peak brings forth "DVD" with a line below it, and the Viacom byline (in the same font as the 1990 Viacom logo) below the line. The background fades to black, and a white laser scans the disc in a downward motion, turning the entire logo silver. The finished product almost resembles the Paramount DVD print logo.

Trivia : This logo appears on the original Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment DVD releases of The Avengers and Iron Man 3 , alongside the Marvel logo. This is because The Walt Disney Company (owner of the films' production company Marvel Studios) and Viacom came to an agreement for the films' distribution to transferred from Paramount Pictures to Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, but Paramount still had two films left in their six-movie contract with Marvel. So, Paramount's logo would appear on the films and promotional material.

Variant : At the end of the logo, a menu would sometimes appear with two selections: "PREVIEWS" and "MAIN MENU", both of which would take you to exactly what it said on the tin when selected. When either one was selected, the color on the menu goes from blue to yellow, once it was pressed, the Paramount logo fades out, with the selections disappearing a few seconds afterward. This was seen on some early DVD releases with this logo, such as The Italian Job (2003) , How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days , Rugrats Go Wild! , SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete First Season , The Ren & Stimpy Show: The First and Second Seasons , and All Grown Up: Lucky 13 (the last release to use this variant).

FX/SFX : Same as the normal logo, except for the disc gliding and turning the logo to silver.

Music/Sounds : It starts off silent, but when the stars fly by, some whooshing sounds are heard, culminating in a synthesized explosion effect with a thunderclap. As the white laser scans down, a humming sound can be heard.

Music/Sounds Variant : On the post-menu-selection variation, a soft "bong" is heard as the logo fades out, followed by a whirring sound when the selections disappear.

Availability : Very common.

• It's seen on many post-2003 DVD releases released by the company, starting with Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown (even though the print logo on the cover is the 90th Anniversary version).
• This logo was seen on DVD releases of Paramount Television-owned series from 2003-06 (when the rights went to CBS Home Entertainment after Viacom and CBS Corporation became separate companies), such as the 2004 releases of season 1 of both Happy Days and The Andy Griffith Show , and the 2005 release of season 2 of the latter.
• After 2004, this logo would no longer appear on Nickelodeon (although The Wild Thornberrys Movie , released in 2003, doesn't have this logo), Comedy Central, and CBS DVD releases.
• Despite Viacom introducing a new byline in 2010, and Paramount introducing a new logo in 2011, this logo continued to be used well beyond those years, as seen on more recent releases such as Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown , Project Almanac , Boyhood , The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water , The Gambler , Interstellar , Selma , Top Five , Allied , and A Quiet Place .
• It was retained on a 2008 Lionsgate reprint of Nobody's Fool , on a double-feature flipper disc with Fat Man and Little Boy .
• On the 2006 DVD reissue of Mission: Impossible 2 , this only appears on the second disc, as disc 1 is a reprint of the original 2000 release.
• This doesn't appear on Metallica: Some Kind of Monster , which is an IFC Films production. It's also strangely absent from the 2003 DVDs of Bang the Drum Slowly , Fear Strikes Out , Talent for the Game , and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral , which start at the warning screen, despite all being Paramount films.
• The last release to use this logo was Instant Family .

Editor's Note : The animation of the DVD flying in is pretty simple, while it as well as the sudden thunderclap and flash may surprise some, though it's still a favorite among most (though not as much as the 1989 logo). As already mentioned, this logo was still being used into 2019 despite a new Viacom byline and a new Paramount logo early in the decade.

Paramount High Definition [ ]

(september 26, 2006-march 26, 2019) [ ].

Nicknames : "Digital Mountain", "From SD to HD", "Digital Paramount"

Logo : At the start, there is an on-screen effect of a television getting switched on, zooming out from one of the stars and transitioning to a dark, muddled version of the 2002 Paramount logo already animating in progress. When the star reaches the mountain's peak, two white lines appear and move across the picture vertically from the center, sharpening the picture and forming the silver text " HIGH DEFINITION ", which zooms out into place. The Viacom byline (without the line) from the previous three logos fades in below and the HD text shines.

Trivia : This logo appears on the original Disney Blu-ray releases of The Avengers and Iron Man 3 (see the Trivia section for the previous logo).

FX/SFX : The television static, the zooming away from the star, and the revelation of the text.

Music/Sounds : Some television static sound effects and a few loud whooshes and shining sounds.

Availability : Common.

• It can be seen on Paramount's Blu-ray releases, such as Black Sheep , Major League , South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut , We Were Soldiers , Black Rain , Primal Fear , Almost Famous , Defiance , The Peacemaker , and Kiss the Girls .
• It was also seen on Paramount HD-DVD releases (hence the term "High Definition" rather than just "Blu-ray" or "HD-DVD") from 2006-08, such as Four Brothers and The Italian Job . Starting sometime in 2007, Paramount switched their high definition support to HD-DVD. When Toshiba announced they would discontinue HD-DVD, Paramount, like all other home media companies, became Blu-ray only. Their first films on Blu-ray since HD-DVD's discontinuation were Next and Face/Off , as well as DreamWorks' Blades of Glory , all of which were first planned for release in 2007, followed by The Spiderwick Chronicles .
• This logo can be found on releases with the short-lived print version of this logo (consisting of a silver border around the cover image, with "HIGH DEFINITION" on the lower left) on the box art. Sometime around 2008, the print logo was abandoned (examples include Last Holiday and Iron Man ), while the on-screen logo continued to be used.
• The last release to feature this was Pet Sematary: 30th Anniversary Edition .

Editor's Note : Same as the 2003 DVD logo, though there's nothing really simple nor surprising about this.

Final Note : Beginning with the release of  Bumblebee , all Paramount DVDs and Blu-rays began using the standard 2011 theatrical logo as a de-facto video logo.
