 * ALSO AVAILABLE FROM
 * COMING SOON FROM

Variants:
 * On some tapes, the bumper animates normally, but with a different voiceover. Otherwise, no voiceover is heard (see “Music/Sounds” and “Music/Sounds Variants” for more info).
 * At the end of 1994 UK and Irish retail VHS tapes, we see the already formed logo with the text above reading "LOOK OUT FOR FUTURE RELEASES FROM."
 * A shorter variant exists, which skips Mickey and starts with the spark writing the Walt Disney signature.
 * On early tapes such as the 1986 UK and Irish VHS rental releases of Pinocchio (1940), the words "COMING SOON FROM" in one line appears in red.
 * Some early tapes such as the 1987 UK and Irish VHS releases of Benji the Hunted have the text in a different font.
 * On the 1988 UK and Irish VHS rental releases of Sleeping Beauty, "NOW AVAILABLE FROM", in a sans-serif font, fades in above the logo.

Technique: Same as the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo jingle, but the music is often high pitched, due to it being converted in the PAL format. Sometimes the music is shortened.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the short variant and sometimes the full variant, there is no voiceover. This variant is also used as a de-facto home video logo.
 * On some 1986 UK and Irish retail VHS tapes, Christopher Eccleston concludes, "A world of magic, which can be yours to own for a lifetime, from Walt Disney Home Video."
 * On the 1987 British and Irish retail VHS releases of Alice in Wonderland (1951), Dumbo (1941), Mary Poppins, Popeye (1980), Herbie Goes to Monte Carol, Soccer Mania, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, Chip ‘n Dale Go Nuts, and Mickey’s Christmas Carol, only Brian Cummings is heard saying, “This season, you and your family can own the magic of Disney on videocassette, only from Walt Disney Home Video.” At the end of the advertisement, he states, “Don’t miss this opportunity to begin your own Disney library for only $12.99, and bring Disney home for good.”

A classic library can be yours to share forever.” At the end of the advertisement, he states, “Share the magic with your family for only £7.99. Bring Disney home for keeps.”
 * On the 1989 British and Irish retail VHS releases of Sleeping Beauty, both the logo and music play in full and, as soon as the WDHV logo begins to settle in, Brian Cummings says, “Now, you and your family can own the magic of Disney on video.” A similar version is shown on the same tape following an advertisement of other titles available on home video, which begins with a preview for Robin Hood (1973), except Brian Cummings says, “Don‘t miss this opportunity to collect the very best of Disney. Available wherever videocassettes are sold.” throughout the short variant of the logo.
 * This version also appears on the 1989 British and Irish retail VHS releases of Robin Hood (1973), The Sword in the Stone, Dumbo (1941), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Disney’s Sing Along Songs: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, Disney’s Sing Along Songs: Very Merry Christmas Songs, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers: Crimebusters, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Tron, Popeye (1980), Winnie the Pooh: The Great Honey Pot Robbery, Mickey and the Gang, Unsinkable Donald Duck, Pluto’s Tales, and Mickey’s Christmas Carol, except Cummings’ voiceover begins as soon as the WDHV logo finishes shining, leading to it ending at the beginning of a preview for Sleeping Beauty.

Availability: Seen mostly on British and Irish Disney VHS tapes available for sale and rental from the time. The two variants, though, were seen on some UK and Irish Disney VHS tapes from the same era. This also appears on non-Disney tapes such as the rental VHS release of Sister Act.

4th Bumper (1986-1987) (Disney Premiere Cinema)
Bumper: On a pink-white-blue gradient background, we see the text "COMING SOON FROM" in a serif font. It flips over to reveal the Disney Premiere Cinema logo.

Technique: A simple flipping effect.

Music/Sounds: A short version of the Disney Premiere Cinema logo theme.

Availability: Seen on the UK and Irish rental VHS releases of Pinocchio (1940) and Sunday Drive, which, at the time, were distributed by Rank Video; therefore, it's possible it appears on other Rank-distributed Disney tapes of the time as well.

5th Bumper (October 12, 1989) (Walt Disney Home Video)

8th Bumper (1991)
Bumper: On a black background, the gold and shiny words "Rockwell" are seen in a Rockwell font.

Trivia: Interestingly, not only does this have an American-sounding announcer, but it happens to Brian Cummings, whose voiceover here (mentioned below) was shortened for use in a couple of American IDs. Cummings would also perform the voiceover for another stay tuned bumper on the 1994 South Korean VHS release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Technique: Shining effects.

Music/Sounds: None, except Brian Cummings saying "Stay tuned after our feature, for a look at other great titles available from Walt Disney Home Video." After that, there's three seconds of silence before the bumper fades out.

Availability: Rare; as of now, it can be seen only on the 1991 UK VHS release of Ducktales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.

Legacy: As previously mentioned, this stay tuned bumper is noteworthy for containing an American-sounding announcer on a British VHS release of a Disney movie. This led to various YouTube accounts creating their own 1991 VHS openings of Disney films that would include this stay tuned bumper and then WDSHE’s 1989-92 Feature Presentation bumper.

9th Bumper (1991)
Bumper: We see a light-dark blue gradient background with one of the following captions "COMING SOON FOR YOU TO OWN" or "NOW AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO OWN" flying in from the top right, and settle in the middle for a few seconds. It then flips up, and rotates clockwise to exit the screen.

Technique: 2D effects.

Technique: None, unless you count basic animation effects.

Music/Sounds:


 * The "Coming Soon" and "Feature Presentation" clip-ons, as well as the 1997 edition of the "Now Avaliable" clip-on, contain a majestic horn & string-driven fanfare - possibly an alternate take of the 1991 WDHV logo theme. To make room for the music, these clip-ons stay on screen for three additional seconds. This music was first heard on the 1993 rental UK VHS releases of Aspen Extreme.
 * Both the "Soon Avaliable to Own on Video" clip-on and the 1998 edition of the "Now Available" clip-on contain the 1991 WDHV logo jingle.

 * Although the "Feature Presentation" clip-on was introduced on the 1993 UK rental VHS releases of The Distinguished Gentleman, the remaining bumpers didn't debut until later that year, with the UK rental VHS releases of Aspen Extreme.
 * The first Disney-branded retail releases to contain the "Feature Presentation" clip-on were Around the World with Timon and Pumbaa and Dining Out with Timon and Pumbaa from 1997, followed by Toy Story: Collector’s Edition from 1999.

Bumper: On a blue background, we see the words "COMING TO A CINEMA NEAR YOU" or "NOW SHOWING AT A CINEMA NEAR YOU" in Optima font.

Technique: None, unless you count the fading effects.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon. It premiered on the 1994 UK rental VHS releases of Born Yesterday, and can also be seen on many titles available for rental and sale such as The Jungle Book (1994), Mulan (1998), Toy Story (1999 Collector's Edition release), Mighty Joe Young (1998), The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Waterboy, Treasure Planet, End of Days, Bringing Out the Dead, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

17th Bumper (August 22, 1994-October 17, 1994) (Walt Disney Pictures)
Bumper: On a blue background, we see either the words "COMING SOON TO A CINEMA NEAR YOU" (in Gill Sans Narrow) or "NOW SHOWING AT A CINEMA NEAR YOU" (in Univers Narrow).

Technique: Fading effects.

Music/Sounds: John Sachs says one of the following:


 * Coming Soon : "Watch out for this feature presentation, coming soon to a cinema near you."
 * Now Showing : "Look out for this feature, now showing at a cinema near you."

18th Bumper (January 30, 1995-2001) (Disney Videos)
See the Disney Videos logo for the description.

Bumper: On a dark blue background, we see this text, in a white Helvetica font: "ALSO AVAILABLE TO RENT".

Technique: None, unless you count the fading effects.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare, considering that only three British rental VHS tapes contained it. This bumper debuted on the 1995 British rental VHS tapes of Lightning Jack and Little Buddha, preceding a trailer for six Buena Vista-owned family movies available to rent on VHS (A Far Off Place, The Mighty Ducks are the Champions [known as The Mighty Ducks in America], 3 Ninjas, Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, California Man [known as Encino Man in America], and Captain Ron). Because the Blockbuster/Ritz editions of the 1994 British rental VHS releases of Cool Runnings, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit and The Three Musketeers, as well as the non-Blockbuster/Ritz editions of the former two, were released before this bumper premiered, they only contain the aforementioned trailer. It made its final appearance on the 1996 British rental VHS releases of From Dusk Till Dawn, preceding the trailer for Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead.

20th Bumper (March 27, 1995-1996) (Walt Disney Pictures)
