Disney's FastPlay

Logo descriptions by Yeow95 Editions by DisneyInternationalFan Capture courtesy of rtcod06

Background: Disney's FastPlay is a Disney DVD enhancement introduced in 2004. While it says that it plays the movie and bonus features automatically, it instead plays all the trailers on the DVD, followed by the movie coming immediately afterwards – as this video shows, the average length of DVD previews with FastPlay activated is 8-12 minutes.

(August 17, 2004-)
Nicknames: "Slow Play", "Scam Play", "Glitter Disc", "Where's the Remote?!"

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 Fast Play logo, 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.

Editor's Note: While this logo is decently animated, it's 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. This inspired numerous articles from disgruntled parents, and later became a minor internet meme.
