 * 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.

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.

Audio: 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: 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-accented 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.

Bumper (1991)
Visuals: 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.

Audio: None.

Availability: It only lasted for a year. Seen on a few Buena Vista and Disney UK retail VHS tapes from the time, such as An Innocent Man, Three Men and a Little Lady, and the original 1991 UK retail VHS releases of The Little Mermaid.

 * COMING SOON
 * SOON AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO
 * NOW AVAILABLE
 * AVAILABLE TO BUY
 * FEATURE PRESENTATION (recycled from the 10th American bumper)

Variants:


 * The color scheme varies for each bumper.
 * The "COMING SOON" bumper is still.
 * The "AVAILABLE TO BUY" and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" bumpers animate like the U.S./Canadian counterpart of the era.
 * The "NOW AVAILABLE" and "SOON AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO" bumpers animate in a similar fashion, except the texts slightly zoom in during the animation. The former bumper is shown in letterboxed format, while the latter bumper is shown on open matte.
 * On the 1997 retail UK VHS releases of The English Patient, the "NOW AVAILABLE" bumper is bold, tinted in white, and a still image. In addition, the text is arranged horizontally and most of the outlining is gone.

Technique: None, unless you count basic animation effects.

Audio:


 * The "Coming Soon" and "Feature Presentation" bumpers, as well as the 1997 edition of the "Now Avaliable" bumper, contain a majestic horn & string-driven fanfare - possibly an alternate take of the 1991 WDHV logo theme. To make room for the music, these bumpers 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" bumper and the 1998 edition of the "Now Available" bumper contain the 1991 WDHV logo jingle.

Audio Variants:


 * On the 2003 UK VHS releases of Inspector Gadget (1999), the slower version of the logo music is used on the "Feature Presentation" bumper.

 * On the 1993-94 UK rental VHS releases of 3 Ninjas and Born Yesterday and the 2003 UK retail VHS releases of The Magical World of Winnie the Pooh, the 1991 WDHV jingle is heard on both the "Coming Soon" and "Feature Presentation" bumpers.
 * On the 2000 UK retail VHS releases of Spot's Show and Other Musical Adventures, the music from the Italian 1991 bumpers is heard on the "Feature Presentation" bumper.
 * On the 1996-98 UK rental VHS releases of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, Con Air, The Preacher's Wife, and The Wings of the Dove, the Jim Henson Video logo jingle is heard on the "Available to Buy" bumper.
 * On the 1998 UK rental VHS releases of The 6th Man, the 1991 WDHV logo jingle is heard on the "Available to Buy" bumper.

 * Although the "Feature Presentation" bumper 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" bumper 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. This bumper appeared on subsequent Disney retail VHS tapes from the UK such as Toy Story 2, Tarzan (1999), The Legend of Tarzan and Power Rangers: Wild Force videotapes, Dinosaur (2000), Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Freaky Friday (2003), Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and Kim Possible: The Secret Files; most of these releases also included the "Coming Soon" and "Now Available" bumpers.
