Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment/Warning Screens

1st Warning (1978-Early 1980s)
Warning: On a dark screen, we see the following words in yellow:

NOTICE: "LICENSED ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PRIVATE  EXHIBITION IN HOMES. ALL RIGHTS  UNDER COPYRIGHT RESERVED"

Variant: The words may be in a more narrow font and less compressed on some films.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: This technically wasn't used on home media, but was used on Disney’s souvenir videos.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Warning (1980-Late 1983)
Standard Warnings

Alternative Warnings (Canadian releases only)

Optional Licensed/Duplication Screen (Canadian releases only)

Warning: On a blue background, we see the letters “FBI" in a black rectangle. The seal of said company is below the letters. Above and to the right is the word "WARNING" in a yellow color, and below that is the white warning text.

The screen fades to a blue background with the following text in yellow:

Licensed for private home exhibition only. Any public performance, copying or other use is strictly prohibited. All other rights reserved.

Variants: Duplication in whole or in part of this videocassette is prohibited.
 * A rare variant exists, where the screens are reversed.
 * Canadian French releases from Quebec use the variation below, but is translated into French. There is also black shadow on the text.
 * Canadian copies replace the FBI screen with a third screen similar to the second, except in a Helvetica font. This variation is put before the standard warning text:

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None, which all these FBI warnings are famous for.

Availability: This was the first warning used on home media. Appears on releases from 1980-1983, such as The Black Hole, Pete's Dragon, and Escape to Witch Mountain.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Warning (Late 1983-July 15, 1984)
Warning: On a poppy red background, we see a black box with the letters "FBI" and the FBI logo below that. To the right of it is a white box with the text shown above. The screen then fades to the same blue "Licensed" screen mentioned above. This warning is almost the same as the 1979 warning screen from Warner Home Video.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds:None.

Availability: Seen on releases from late 1983 to mid to late 1984 (excluding Canadian copies) such as Tex, Condorman and later printings of Tron. It can be also be spotted on a few Muppet Home Video releases (as they were distributed by Disney) like Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. Its last appearances were on The Castaway Cowboy and Son of Flubber.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Warning (July 15, 1984-1991)
Standard Versions

Serif Font Variation

"Walt Disney World" promotional videos variant

"Rainbow" Background Variant (Walt Disney Educational Productions)

Optional Licensed/Duplication Screen (Canadian releases only)

Spanish-Translated Screens

Warning: On a white background, we see a red-orange vertical bar at the left of the screen containing the white text "FBI" and a white FBI logo below that. At the right of the bar, in the Exotic Bold font, is the standard FBI Warning text seen in 1 and 2. Each screen lasts about eight seconds before fading out.

Variants:
 * Some releases in 1990-1991 would have all of the text in a Goudy Old Style font.
 * Walt Disney World videos had all of the text in a different sans serif font. The warning text beside the FBI logo is black instead of the usual red. Also, the phrase "ANY PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, COPYING OR OTHER USE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED." is included in both screens.
 * On some releases, the first screen would cut straight to the next, rather than fading out.
 * There is a variant in which the second screen fades in to a red background, and the text fading in after that. This version has text that looks chyroned in.
 * On Canadian releases only, there is a variant in which the warning text fades to red, and then the Duplication notice fades in. This version has chyroned text.
 * There is a special "rainbow" variant on videos from Walt Disney Educational Productions in the 1980s. Despite its nickname, however, the background is actually a lavender/prawn gradient.
 * There is an early "protoype" variation with different, longer sentences.
 * On the 1991 release of Fantasia, the length of time each warning is on screen is cut in half, making it four seconds instead of the usual eight.
 * A 1988 VHS of Alice in Wonderland had the first warning screen slideshow to the next, a la the next warning.
 * Sometimes, the red area will be yellow instead.
 * On Spanish-translated releases, the setup is similar, but on the first screen, the text (translated into Spanish) and the FBI text and logo are surrounded by a rounded rectangle. The second screen has the text in a MUCH smaller size, and appears to have serifs.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on releases from mid/late 1984 to 1991, like Winnie the Pooh and Friends, DuckTales VHS releases, and Robin Hood. It first appeared on Welcome to Pooh Corner Vol. 1 and Five Mile Creek Vol. 1. It can also be seen on 1985-1991 Touchstone Home Video releases as well. The version with the Goudy Old Style font was seen only on a few WDHV releases from 1991 (including the reprint of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: You Can Fly, Sebastian's Caribbean Jamboree, and compilations of episodes of the television series Dinosaurs). The one with the different font than the standard (which slideshows) can be seen on old 80s Walt Disney World promotional videos. The one with the font that fades in after the background is extremely rare, and can be seen on the original release of The Brave Little Toaster, the 1991 Canadian VHS print of The Rescuers Down Under, and the Mini-Classics release of Peter and the Wolf. The one which slideshows can be spotted on the 1988 American print of Alice in Wonderland. The prototype variation is rare, but can be spotted on the original 1984 prints of Splash and Mickey's Christmas Carol. The Spanish-translated variant has been spotted on a 1986 Spanish VHS of Mary Poppins.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Warning (August 19, 1986-Summer 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991)
Standard Version

Optional Licensed/Duplication Screen (Canadian releases only)

Spanish-Translated Screens

Warning: On a dark red background, we see a rounded rectangle with FBI and its logo on the side and the standard-issue warning on the other (which is very similar to the Spanish version of the previous warning). Then it slideshows to the next screen, whose words are in a bold Helvetica font.

Variants:
 * On Canadian copies only, the warning screen would slideshow to the Duplication notice. On Canadian French copies, the warnings are translated to French, and like its English counterpart, it follows the same format. Unlike the regular warnings, the text for the French Canadian copies was in mixed case. This warning was used up until 1991 on Disney videos released in Quebec.
 * On American Spanish-language copies, all text is translated to Spanish, the rounded rectangle is gone, leaving only the rectangle containing FBI and its logo, and the transition is a fade to and then from red instead of a slideshow cut.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. It can be found on the original Classics print of Sleeping Beauty, as well as the 1986 Classics reprint of Pinocchio and an early 1987 print of The Three Caballeros. It can also be seen on most 1986 Disney tapes (your best bet are ones that also have the Video Dealer Announcement on them, such as A Tiger Walks, and the first video releases of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore). This was also found on American copies of Ruthless People, while Canadian copies use the previous warning screen (with the Video Dealer Announcement intact on both versions). For some reason, this was surprisingly spotted on a 1990 Canadian copy of Turner and Hooch and demo tapes of Big Business, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Mr. Destiny, The Jungle Book (1991 release), and The Rescuers Down Under. The Video Dealer Announcement was omitted on the original VHS/Beta release of Disney Sing-Along Songs: Heigh-Ho (later pre-1990 printings omitted the warning screens entirely), Mickey's Christmas Carol, the first five Walt Disney Cartoon Classics volumes, and Bell & Howell/Columbia Pictures/Paramount Video Services pressings of Mickey Knows Best, The Importance of Being Donald, and Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. The Spanish variant appeared on the Spanish-dubbed tapes of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too.

Editor's Note: None.

6th Warning (September 7, 1991-May 16, 2000 (regular use), 2010? (overall))
Original Variant (1991-1997)

Early DVD Variant (1997)

Revised and Modified Variants (1997-2000)

Optional Licensed/Duplication Screen (Canadian and DVD releases only)

Warning: Same as warning screen 5, except the background is grass green and the words are bolder and are in decidedly different fonts and positioning. In late 1997, the fonts were revised and the second screen was rephrased, replacing "LICENSED FOR PRIVATE HOME EXHIBITION ONLY" with "THIS VIDEOCASSETTE (or DVD or LASERDISC) IS FOR PRIVATE HOME VIEWING ONLY. IT IS NOT LICENSED FOR ANY OTHER USE." The fade in on this second variant is also faster.

Variants:
 * A Spanish translation is used on Spanish copies. The first screen now has square edges instead of rounded edges.
 * The word "VIDEOCASSETTE" or "DVD" may be replaced with "VHS OR DVD".
 * There is also a rare DVD variant of the 1991 warning screens, where the FBI seal is a bit bolder, and the text on the second screen appears to be farther spaced out.
 * On 1998-2000 DVD releases, the 1997 warning screens slideshow.
 * On rare occasions, the background is blue instead of green. This can be found on the Old McDonald's Sing-a-Long Farm tape "Share & Care Alike", and on some rare 1995 copies of VeggieTales: Are You My Neighbor?.
 * On the DVS VHS printing of Old Yeller, a woman says at the beginning, "A warning appears..." then reads the text on the screen except for the bottom text because it fades to the next screen she also reads before she could finish with the first screen. This also happens on the DVS VHS of Anne of Avonlea, but with a man saying at the beginning, "Now, an FBI Warning appears..." and reading the text in both screens.
 * On a 1992 print of Sister Act, the second warning screen abruptly cuts to the Touchstone Home Video logo.
 * On French-Canadian releases, the last warning is used, but the background color is changed to match and the text has a shadow effect. It was updated in 1995 with the font changed to that of the format screen of the time. This also appears on some US DVDs as well.
 * On both versions of the Beauty and the Beast VHS from 1992, the length of each screen is again cut in half like the Fantasia VHS. Each screen shows up for only five seconds instead of the usual ten.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: On almost every Walt Disney Home Video release (standard, Classic, or Masterpiece) from the 90s. Can be spotted on any Buena Vista Home Video, Miramax, DiC Toon-Time Video, Touchstone Pictures, or ABC Video releases from the 90s, too. Also seen on NCircle/DiC DVD releases. The DVD variant of the 1991 FBI screens can be found on the earliest Disney DVDs from 1997 and early 1998, such as Air Bud, George of The Jungle, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, Tombstone, and a few others. It can also be seen on tapes from a few non-Disney/Buena Vista companies, like VCI videos from the late 90s (which only showed the first screen), and tapes from Everland/Word Entertainment. Strangely, it also appeared on DVD prints of Baby Einstein episodes from 2000 to 2002 (VHS prints had the 1988 IVE/LIVE/Artisan/Lionsgate warning instead) and appeared on Anchor Bay Entertainment releases of Disney films such as Big Red and The Cat from Outer Space (VHS releases of these films use Anchor Bay's standard warning). Don't expect to find this on DVD prints from DiC and Shout Factory. They use Shout! Factory’s own warning screen. Surprisingly, this appears as a box on a white background at the start of the 2015 documentary Strange Matters. While Disney stopped using this warning on a regular basis at the end of the spring of 2000, some companies have adopted it for their own use: DiC Home Entertainment releases used the 1997 warnings, as did Cookie Jar DVDs, which have known to be released as late as 2010. The 1997 warnings were also used on VHS releases from AnimeVillage.com Home Entertainment and early Bandai Entertainment VHS releases (in which the first screen would slideshow to the next). Strangely, the Duplication screen, while mainly on Canadian releases, appears on quite a few DVDs from the United States, including What About Bob?, The Three Musketeers, and even Tarzan; among others.

Editor's Note: This is probably one of, if not the most recognizable of FBI warnings; as a result it is occasionally parodied (such as the 2002 Deluxe Edition DVD of Men in Black, which had a parody of this screen after Sony's warnings right before the menu).

7th Warning (1991-Early 2000s)
Warning: An enhanced version of the 1984 warning. On a blue background, we see a red vertical bar at the left of the screen containing the white text "FBI" in bold and a colored FBI logo below that. At the right of the bar, in the Times New Roman font, is the standard FBI Warning text seen in 2 and 4.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare; seen on 1990s Walt Disney Educational Productions tapes, as well as Bill Nye the Science Guy DVDs from WDEP.

Editor's Note: None.

8th Warning (May 30, 2000-April 12, 2005, October 25, 2005 (first screen only))
Warning: Same as Warning Screens 4 and 5, but it now takes place on a blue background, with the warning text and the second screen now in mixed case; the second screen also includes the duplication warning (previously exclusive to Canadian releases). On DVDs, the FBI Warning would cut right to the second screen instead of fading to black to the second screen, and the word "DVD" replaces "Videocassette". In the late summer of 2003, the second screen was modified to include more info. (which co-existed with the original version until March 2004.)

Variants:
 * A Spanish translation is used on Spanish-language tapes.
 * On all Canadian VHS releases, it skips to the second screen. The first screen is intact on Canadian DVD releases.
 * On the Jeffery Blitz documentary Spellbound released on DVD, the first part of the warning screen fades in and fades out before the TH!INKFilm logo. A little bit of the vertical FOV was also decreased cropping off some of the black from the top and the blue from the bottom.
 * French-Canadian releases are translated into French.
 * The original DVD version of the first screen is present on the 2005 DVD of Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, despite the later version with more text already being in use for well over a year by then (including on its own VHS).
 * A stretched version of the second screen exists on the 2001 Vista Series DVD of Unbreakable, along with a slightly modified FBI warning following it (which is shattered apart).
 * Blu-ray releases prior to 2011 have the second screen in a different font and without a drop shadow.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: It first appeared on the 2000 VHS of Geppetto. It appears on all Disney/Buena Vista Video/DVD releases from this era. Outside of Disney releases, it appeared on the ThinkFilm DVD release of Spellbound distributed by Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment (now Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) and on some First Look VHS releases (which only show the first screen) and DVDs starting in 2005 (which only show the second screen). It also appeared on the 2005 VHS of Herbie: Fully Loaded, released on October 25, 2005, despite the fact that the DVD uses the 9th warning. Even after the first screen retired, the second screen first used in 2003 is still in use today on Disney DVDs, and appears on 20th Century Studios DVDs starting with the release of The Call of the Wild on May 12, 2020. The last Disney related releases to show the first screen on a regular basis were its releases on April 12th, 2005; two weeks before the 9th warning made its debut.

Editor's Note: Like the 6th warning, this is one of the most recognizable FBI warnings.

9th Warning (April 26, 2005-2013)
Warning: The same generic warning screen used since 2004 with a modified font. This came after the second screen of the 8th warning.

Variant: On the 2005 VHS of Sky High and the special edition VHS of Tarzan, the warnings are played in reverse order.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Found on most Disney/Buena Vista releases from 2005-2013 beginning with Dimension's 2005 DVDs of Darkness (also on its VHS) and The Nameless, released April 26, 2005. This includes the final releases on VHS from the company up to Bambi II, released on February 7, 2006. However, Blu-ray releases had this warning until 2011. Strangely, the VHS releases of Valiant, the Platinum Edition of Lady and the Tramp, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Brother Bear 2, and Cars, use no warning screen at all.

Editor's Note: None.

10th Warning (2011-present)
Warning: For the first screen of the 10th warning, on a black background, we see the word "WARNING" at the top of the screen, in fire engine red, with the same warning text from the 2003 version of the second screen of the 8th warning, in white. After the first one, it cuts to same as before, but with a black BG, the FBI Anti-Piracy Warning seal at the left, and to the right is the Homeland Security Investigations badge.

Variant: On non-Disney films, the first screen is cut.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: On most Disney/Buena Vista Blu-ray releases from this era.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Warning (1983-1987)

"THIS MOTION PICTURE, INCLUDING ITS SOUND TRACK, IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND ANY BROADCAST,  PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, DIFFUSION, COPYING AND EDITING  ARE PROHIBITED UNLESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED.  THIS CASSETTE IS FOR HOME USE ONLY."

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the fading-in of the videotaped version.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Very rare. This was not seen on many releases but the videotaped version was found to have appeared on Return to Oz and the filmed version was seen on Dragonslayer and Hunters Landing. The first four Touchstone releases in the UK, Splash, Country, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend and My Science Project should all have this.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Warning (1987-1990)
Warning: On a dark blue background, we see white text reading:

THIS MOTION PICTURE, INCLUDING ITS SOUND TRACK, IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND ANY BROADCAST, PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, DIFFUSION, COPYING AND EDITING ARE PROHIBITED UNLESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORISED. THIS CASSETTE IS FOR HOME USE ONLY.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on various Disney and Touchstone videos from the United Kingdom. In the early years of this warning, Disney tapes were distributed through Rank Video. On Disney releases, it can be seen on the first few Sing Along Songs videos as well as later printings of Tron, Popeye, The Sword in the Stone, Blackbeard's Ghost and some tapes of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Touchstone tapes with this included Adventures in Babysitting, Cocktail, Tin Men, and Good Morning Vietnam.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Warning (1990-2006)
Warning: On a dark blue background, we see white text reading:

'THIS MOTION PICTURE, INCLUDING ITS SOUND TRACK, IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND ANY BROADCAST, PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, DIFFUSION, COPYING AND EDITING ARE PROHIBITED UNLESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORISED.

Variants: The font has changed throughout the years.

It altogether appeared on thousands of Buena Vista videos from the timeframe given above in various fonts, including some of their most popular releases.

1st Warning (Early 1980's)
Warning: On a light blue background, a blue Mickey Mouse head scrolls down from the top left to the middle left and scrolls to the middle right, wiping in the first set of some blue warning text, which later turns yellow. The head then appears again and wipes in more text, which also turns yellow after being formed. When the warning text is complete, it scrolls up. This is repeated a varied amount of times, each with a different set of warning text, which altogether is:

'Dieser Film is urheberrechtlich geschützt und nur für den privaten Gebrauch bestimmt. Jede gewerbliche Nutzung, auch wenn sie sich nur auf Teile des Films bezieht, und deren Duldung, jede öffentliche Vorführung, auch wenn sie kostenlos erfolgt, sowie die Sendung, das Kopieren, und das Überspielen auf Videokassetten und sonstige AV-Systeme sind untersagt, und werden zivil- und strafrechtlich verfolgt.'

2nd Warning (Late 1980's-1998)

They stay on screen for a couple of seconds, before some "paint" trickles down the screen, eventually segueing into the special version of the Disney Videos logo.

Warning: After the Anti-Piracy warning, on the same background, we see the following text in a white font with a blue drop shadow wipe in, bit-by-bit, then disappear to make room for the next one:

'Exija videocassettes originales. Las copias ilegales tienen mala calidad de visionado y son un fraude al consumidor, que además ponen en peligro la continuidad del mercado del cine. Evite el fraude, que perjudica tanto al consumidor como a las compañías distribuidoras y a los legítimos propietarios de los derechos de autor.'

The scene then fades to black, as the previous warning starts, albeit with a Buena Vista Castle pattern background and the following text:

Esta grabación está protegida por la ley.' Los titulares del copyright solo autorizan su distribución para uso doméstico,' y su exhibición en un magnetoscopio que no esté conectado a una red de difusión de cualquier tipo. Quienes reproduzcan, plagien o comuniquen públicamente la totalidad o parte de su contenido sin la autorización expresa de su titular,' incurrirán en un delito castigado con penas de hasta 4 años de prisión y multa de hasta 36 millones de pesetas.

Translation: Demand original videocassettes. Illegal copies have poor viewing quality and are consumer fraud, which also jeopardize the continuity of the film market. Avoid fraud, which harms both consumers and distribution companies, and legitimate copyright owners. This recording is protected by law. Copyright holders only authorize its distribution for home use, and its display on a VTR that is not connected to a broadcast network of any kind. Those who reproduce, plagiarize or publicly communicate all or part of its content without the express authorization of its owner, will incur a crime punishable by penalties of up to 4 years in prison and a fine of up to 36 million pesetas.
