Disney's FastPlay

Background
Disney's FastPlay is a special feature used on Disney DVDs, introduced in the late summer of 2004. The system purports to play the upcoming film and certain bonus features automatically, without needing to use a remote. Infamously, FastPlay will also play all of the trailers and previews featured on the DVD, meaning it can take up to 8-12 minutes for the film to actually start. However, a few titles play the trailers in the end. Recent releases have less trailers before the film.

(August 17, 2004- )
Nicknames: "The Glitter Disc", "Where's My Remote?!", "SlowPlay", "Your First Panic Attack", "The Spinning Disc", "The DVD", "Tinker Bell"

Logo: The Disney DVD logo (with a mirrored arc, seemingly to match with the FastPlay logo) shines on a cloudy blue background. Tinker Bell flies up and waves her wand on the Disney DVD logo, changing it into the FastPlay logo (consisting of a rapidly spinning DVD), and then flies away with her pixie dust trailing behind her. The pixie dust leaves behind two purple icons below the logo: "Main Menu" on the right (which appears first), and "FastPlay" on the left (which appears second). The Disney FastPlay logo "sparkles" throughout the logo. The Main Menu icon flashes twice, then the FastPlay icon flashes three times timed with the narration. The FastPlay logo shines and the logo fades out.

Variant: On several foreign Disney releases with FastPlay, the text is in their respective language, while the Korean and Mandarin Chinese versions skip the Tinker Bell animation. The following variants are known to exist:

FX/SFX: Pretty much everything in the logo.

Music/Sounds: A series of dings and whooshes with a short, dramatic orchestral fanfare ("Open Market A" by Dick Walter, from the KPM music library), with Tom Kane saying "This Disney DVD is enhanced with Disney's FastPlay. Your movie and a selection of bonus features will begin automatically. To bypass FastPlay, select the "Main Menu" button at any time. FastPlay will begin in a moment!"

Music/Sounds Trivia: Disney previously used "Open Market A" in a Disney Channel "Feature Presentation" bumper in 1986.

Availability: Current and fairly common.
 * Debuted on Mickey, Donald and Goofy: The Three Musketeers. This can be seen on Walt Disney Animation Studios releases since Chicken Little, as well as many spinoffs, a few non-animated films, a load of Disney Channel original movies, and TV shows from the Disney Branded Television networks.
 * This also appears on Pixar releases starting with Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales, Cars 2, and the 2011 reissue of The Incredibles. However, the only Pixar releases not to use this were Toy Story 3 (released the same day as Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales) and Onward, especially the latter due to not having previews at all, though the Blu-Ray version did include them. It also didn't appear on Pixar films prior to 2010 as they go to the previews manually. The most recent Pixar release to use this was Turning Red, released on May 3, 2022, despite no bonus features at the end.
 * Most 2000's Disney DVDs with FastPlay use menus that have icons for the selections (like these for example) while 2010s and 2020s releases have iconless menus (like these for example.)
 * Notably, the only three instances where it actually did what it advertised were the 2009 Big Wave Edition DVD of Lilo & Stitch, Incredibles 2, and Zombies 2 (due to those releases not having previews, except Incredibles 2 which has them at the end).
 * This also appears on Luca, released on August 3, 2021, despite having no bonus features to speak of. This was also the case for Turning Red, released on May 3, 2022, but the bonus features do not play at the end, even though it still has the bonus features.
 * FastPlay has become considerably rarer on Disney releases since Luca, with it only appearing on WDAS and Pixar releases since that film.

Editor's Note: While this logo is decently animated, the enhancement remains rather infamous for how it claims to play the movie "fast" and "automatically", when it really just plays the movie after a ton of trailers (averaging between 8-12 minutes' worth, less after the mid-2010s), as well as the logo's speedy nature making it difficult to immediately hit the main menu option. This inspired numerous articles from disgruntled parents, and later became a minor internet meme. The logo's abrupt nature was also known to scare young children, earning it the nickname of "Your First Panic Attack" as a result. The Chinese variant basically just has the Chinese name chyroned on the disc without any more effects. It was also briefly rumored as discontinued in August 2021, but was later proven false in early 2022. (it's unknown if it will be retired as of now)
