Buena Vista/Walt Disney Modified Screens

1st Bumper (March 23, 1994-June 2000, 2002)
Bumper: On a grass green background (the same as the FBI Warning screens of the era) are the words (in all caps) "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV".

Bumper Variants: There are several variations of this bumper:


 * The text reads (in an Arial Narrow font) "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been reformatted to fit your TV and is a colorized version of the original black-and-white film."
 * The text reads (in a Futura Condensed Font) "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV screen and edited for content."
 * The 1995 VHS of The Santa Clause and a 2002 Family Channel Canada airing of James and the Giant Peach has the text (in a Futura Condensed font) "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV screen." The text is larger and the space in-between the text has been compressed.
 * A longer version of the variant above exists, with "and edited for content" added to the end after "screen".
 * On a 1997 VHS & PPV airing of Evita, it reads "This film has been recomposed from the original version in order to fill the television screen." in an Arial Narrow font.
 * The text reads (in the same font as the original) "This film has been modified from its original version, and has been edited for content." The background is darker as a result of the LaserDisc quality, and it's reminiscent of the original, unlike the one used on The Santa Clause.
 * Spanish-language tapes used a Spanish-translated version.

Technique: None, unless you count the fading.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Common.
 * Seen on Disney/Touchstone/Miramax/Hollywood/Buena Vista/Dimension releases of the era starting in 1994, such as What's Love Got to Do with It? (the first cassette to use this bumper), Hocus Pocus, and D2: The Mighty Ducks.
 * The first animated features to use this were the first Masterpiece Collection releases like Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Robin Hood; it was used through at least the early summer of 2000, even with the introduction of the then-new blue warning screens.
 * Also seen on the short film compilations The Best of Roger Rabbit and Tiny Toy Stories, as well as the Jim Henson Video release of The Dark Crystal. You can know where this logo will be if you see the words on the back of the videocassette case.
 * The "colorized" version is seen on 1997 VHS releases of The Shaggy Dog, The Absent-Minded Professor and Son of Flubber.
 * The "edited" version can be seen on the 2000 Gold Classic Collection releases of Saludos Amigos, Make Mine Music and Melody Time. The 1995 VHS of The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down The Mountain has this as well.
 * It was also seen on PPV & VOD prints of Disney/Touchstone/Miramax/Dimension movies of the era.
 * It is preserved on several post-2000 reprints, such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gordy and Tombstone, and also appeared on later prints of the 2000 VHS of The Sixth Sense (despite having the navy blue warnings; these prints have no previews, and a different "Stay Tuned" bumper, compared to copies from earlier in 2000, which had previews and the green warnings).
 * The "edited for content" variant that is reminiscent of standard version is only known to have appeared on the 1997 LaserDisc of The 6th Man. Weirdly, this appears on the letterboxed VHS release of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, possibly due to an editing error.
 * Also found on PPV airings of G.I. Jane, Man of the House, and The Crow.
 * This made a surprise appearance on Disney Sing Along Songs: Heigh Ho when it was shown at the Disneyland Hotel, and on the 2001 VHS of I'll Be Home For Christmas.
 * It also made a surprise appearance on a 2009 Disney Channel airing of Holes and a old airing of James and the Giant Peach on Family in Canada.
 * Strangely enough, this never appeared on French Canadian tapes.

2nd Bumper (July 11, 2000-)
Bumper: On a blue background (the same as the FBI Warning screens of the era) are the words (in all caps) "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV".

Bumper Variants:


 * On the 2002 "bonus edition" VHS of The Others and the 2004 VHS of Around the World in 80 Days, the the word "screen" is added to the end of the text.
 * On the 2002 VHS of Signs, the text reads "This film has been modified from its original version, and has been edited for content."

Technique: None, unless you count the fading.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Current, but less common than before.
 * Can be seen on Disney/Miramax/Touchstone/Dimension/Buena Vista releases of the era such as Freaky Friday (2003), The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Bridget Jones' Diary, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Monsters, Inc., The Lion King (Platinum Edition release), and various Pokémon films (such as Pokémon Heroes, Jirachi: Wish Maker, and Destiny Deoxys).
 * Among the first tapes to use this logo were the 2000 Winnie the Pooh: Storybook Classics tapes, High Fidelity, and Toy Story 2.
 * It also appears at the start of post-2006 Disney films (even those available on Disney+) when shown as in-flight movies.
 * Strangely, this was not seen on the VHS releases of Finding Nemo and Shanghai Knights, which use the 20th Century Fox/Studios modified screen instead of this for some reason, and also did not appear on the VHS release of Home on the Range, which was in widescreen and did not need to carry a format screen, and a selection of 2002-05 VHS releases (an example being The Incredibles) and the 2006-07 VHS releases of Valiant, Chicken Little, and Cars (which use no modified screen at all).
 * It also followed the 1999-2004 Alliance Atlantis logo on a TV airing of Spy Kids in Canada.
 * Even more strange, however, is that this appeared on some copies of The Book of Pooh: Fun With Words, a compilation of episodes from a TV show (which, logically, wouldn't need formatting to begin with).
 * It also strangely appears at the start of Power Rangers: Wild Force and Power Rangers Dino Thunder tapes.
 * Don't expect to find this on any Disney DVDs, however, because like some of the VHS tapes mentioned above, they go straight to the main feature. One example of this is the 2006 fullscreen DVD of Cars.
 * This also makes strange appearances on the VHS releases of Pearl Harbor and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which are both letterboxed at 1.78:1. Although this isn't often seen on TV airings of Disney titles (as they often use their own modified screen), it can still be seen on a few titles, like on old Disney Channel airings of Monsters Inc. and Max Keeble's Big Move, among possibly others.
 * It also appeared at the start of a 2005 Toon Disney (now Disney XD) airing of The Sword in the Stone and a 2001 airing of Play It to the Bone on The Movie Network (now Crave) in Canada.
 * On a 2008 Oxygen airing of The Witches of Eastwick, which is actually a Warner Bros. film and not a Disney one, this oddly appears at the start.
