Buena Vista Home Entertainment (Anti-Piracy Notices)

1st Bumper (1994-1995)
Bumper: On a black/blue gradient background we see a cassette tape, with a sticker label depending on the Disney presentation, and a gray polarized hologram. On the bottom "BEWARE OF ILLEGAL VIDEO CASSETTES" fades in and fades out, "POOR QUALITY ILLEGAL CASSETTES" fades in at the top and "REDUCE YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE," at the bottom fades in. "JEOPARDISE FUTURE FILM PRODUCTION" appears along with "AND CAN DAMAGE YOUR VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDER" after it. The Texts wipe out to reveal "CHECK IF THIS VIDEO CASSETTE CARRIES THIS GENUINE SECURITY STICKER" and the circle fades in around the hologram which turns to shining green and grows to the screen for clarification. Then it shrinks down back on the label and changes back to gray. The text at the bottom wipes out and "TELEPHONE THE FEDERATION AGAINST COPYRIGHT THEFT (FACT)" wipes in from the side on each row. The Hotline: "081 568 6646" appears after each column. The text wipes out to reveal "VIDEO PIRACY IS A CRIME" as the circle fades out and "DO NOT ACCEPT IT" appears. The text disappears as "ENSURE YOU PURCHASE OR RENT A GENUINE COPY FROM YOUR VIDEO RETAILER" slides up.

Variant: There was an early variant on Aladdin, where the hologram is colored silver and gold with multi-coloured grain and the film's title is in white.

Technique: The changing text.

Music/Sounds: Rupert Farley says "Beware of illegal video cassettes. Poor quality illegal cassettes reduce your viewing pleasure, jeopardize future film production and could also damage your video cassette recorder. Check if this video cassette carries a genuine security sticker. If your video does not have this security sticker, telephone the Federation Against Copyright Theft, on 081-568-6646. Video piracy is a crime. Do not accept it. Ensure you purchase or rent a genuine copy from your video retailer."

Music/Sounds Variant: On the UK VHS release of The Return of Jafar, John Sachs says the same script as before, but the number is instead said as "081-568-double 6-46".

Availability: Seen on some early Disney releases with their own F.A.C.T. warning, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Aladdin, and was last seen on The Return of Jafar.

2nd Bumper (1995-1996)
Bumper: On a black/blue gradient background appears a cassette tape, with a sticker label depending on the Disney presentation, and a gray polarized hologram. On the top, "Poor quality, illegal video cassettes..." fades in, and at the bottom, "...available from sources other than reputable retailers" fades in as well, then fades to "reduce the sound and picture quality", and finally to "may also damage your video cassette recorder". After that, it fades out and the text on the above fades to "The genuine product" and a circle fades in around the polarized hologram on the label, which turns shining green and grows to the screen for clarification, while the bottom text fades back in reading "check for this security sticker on the cassette" and then "ensure you purchase your videos from a reputable retailer" before fading out again. Then, the hologram shrinks back down onto the label and changes back to gray, and the circle around it disappears. Finally, the F.A.C.T. contact information using the same font fades in on the bottom, followed by "Video piracy is a crime".

Variant: Post-late-1995 releases starting with The Lion King show the INFACT (the Ireland version of FACT) contact information fading in as the FACT address fading out and before "Video piracy is a crime" fading in.

Technique: The changing text.

Music/Sounds: The same announcer from the previous bumper (Rupert Farley) says "We want you to enjoy this video as much as possible. Unfortunately, there are many poor quality, illegal video cassettes now available to buy or rent from sources other than reputable retailers. Not only do these reduce the sound and picture quality of the film, but they may also damage your video cassette recorder. To make sure you're watching the genuine product, check for this security sticker on the cassette, and ensure you purchase your videos from a reputable retailer. If you can't find this sticker on your video cassette, telephone the Federation Against Copyright Theft, on 0181-568-double 646. Video piracy is a crime, please help us to fight it."

Music/Sounds Variant: On post-late 1995 tapes beginning with The Lion King, John Sachs says the same stock message but with "Or in the Republic of Ireland, on 353-16 double 7-7071" added into it.

3rd Bumper (1996-2002)
Bumper: The UK Disney Videos logo is shown for one second and then it cuts to the clips of the Disney movies, The clip of Dumbo appears with the other half which is a pirate copy example wipes in while the captions appear reading: "PIRATE COPY" and "DISNEY COPY" in two of the boxes. Then it cuts to the clip from 101 Dalmatians (1961) in pirate copy format then another one in the normal format. Then it cuts to the VHS cover with the BBFC U rating and the closed-captioning symbol (Depending on which film) on the blue and green gradient background from the Disney Videos logo, and the videocassette tilts to reveal the holograms. The camera hologram (A standard film camera on a tripod with duplicates of BVHV in rows) zooms up to the top right corner and the Mickey Mouse hologram (Sorcerer Mickey in a TV screen with multicolored swirls on the outside) zooms up to the bottom right corner for clarification. They fade out and the tape with the BBFC U rating fades in with the label and hologram (depending on which film). The hologram zooms up to the top right corner for clarification. Finally, it cuts back to the clips and it fades to black and the following text in a white Helvetica font:

(UK) FEDERATION AGAINST COPYRIGHT THEFT 0181 568 6646

fades in on a blue background, then the INFACT number in the same font fades in:

(EIRE) INFACT (00) 353 1677 7071

and then they fade out and the still UK Disney Videos logo fades in and fades out.

Variants:
 * Some releases from 1996-2001 have the still Disney Videos logo omitted from the end of the bumper.
 * Post-2001 releases have the last seconds of the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo in place of the Disney Videos logo before the piracy warning starts. The still Disney Videos logo is also cut out from the end of the bumper.
 * The FACT and the INFACT hotlines changed in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000; for example:
 * (FACT Hotline) (Late 1998 and 1999): 0208 568 6646, (2000): 020 8568 6646
 * (INFACT Hotline) (1997): 01 678 9022
 * On 1996-1997 releases, the holograms look different, the camera hologram has a higher tripod (though the camera hologram has the standard lower tripod when the bumper was first seen on 101 Dalmatians (1961) as a prototype version) and the Mickey Mouse hologram has Sorcerer Mickey on a gradient background with duplicates of "Disney", in its trademark script font, all around it, and the tape cover used the 101 Dalmatians (1961) cover.
 * On some releases, the holograms can be either in the middle, bottom or the top on the spine of the cover.
 * On Monsters, Inc., the new Mickey Mouse hologram as seen in the next bumper is seen on the tape label.
 * On Toy Story, the tape label has a BBFC PG rating.
 * On some releases, the bumper can sometimes be reused (the VHS cover can use the other movie's cover from the previous VHS release).
 * On Toy Story 2 and Fantasia 2000, the still Disney Videos logo at the end of the bumper is replaced by the full Disney Videos logo.

Technique: The clips of Disney movies shown, the cover tilting and the holograms appearing, clips shown again and fading in of the hotline numbers.

Music/Sounds: Silence, when the Disney Videos is shown for one second, then "Disney is Magic" plays in the background as John Sachs says "Welcome to a world of fantasy, music and magical entertainment, the Disney video collection! But don't be tempted to buy a cheaper illegal pirate copy or you might just hear about it from your children." At the Dumbo clip, the boy says "Mum, it's no good! The picture's all funny!", then at the muffled "Cruella De Vil" song from 101 Dalmatians, the boy says again "I can't hear it!" John Sachs then continues, with the normal-sounding "Cruella De Vil" song in the background: "For the best in quality entertainment, people look to Disney. You can recognize an authentic Disney video, either by the camera, or the new Mickey Mouse hologram on the spine of the video cover, or by the logo hologram on the cassette. It's your guarantee of buying a true Disney original with the quality of our standards that you and your family deserve." with "Disney is Magic" resuming in the background. And finally the music finishes, and John Sachs concludes: "If you have any worries concerning pirate videos, call one of these numbers now." Starting on post-2001 releases, the shortened fanfare of the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo is heard at the start before the piracy warning starts.

Same as before, but it is a new version of the 1996 piracy warning featuring clips from Peter Pan, Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc. and House of Mouse with the "Pirate Copy" and "Disney Original" demonstrators. It then cuts to the hotline numbers:

(UK) FEDERATION AGAINST COPYRIGHT THEFT 020 8568 6646

(EIRE) INFACT

01 882 8565

but in a gold, sans serif font zooming out on a starry blue background.

Trivia: The UK VHS tapes of the first two Bionicle movies used this bumper instead of "The Pirates Are Out to Get You" PIF.

Variant: There is an early variant from 2002 to 2004 with has different visuals. After the clips, the giant tiled TV screen from Monsters Inc. is shown. The Disney VHS cassettes appear in each tile and the Monsters Inc. VHS cover with the BBFC U rating and the closed-captioning symbol is shown in two tiles, which fades to a starry blue background in which the same Mickey Mouse hologram grows to the side of the screen for clarification and shrinks back down, the tape with the U rating slides in next to the cover and the new Mickey Mouse hologram (Sorcerer Mickey performing magic on a floor consisting of duplicates of the FACT logo and the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo in the middle, wordmarks also saying the company name, and a Disney copyright on the bottom) on the tape grows to the screen and shrinks back down.

Technique: The clips, the cover zooming in, the holograms appearing, clips shown again and zooming out of the hotline numbers.

Music/Sounds: A different voiceover (Andrew Lincoln) says "Welcome to a world of fantasy, music and magical entertainment, the Disney collection! But the sound and picture quality will not be magical if you buy illegal pirate copies. For real entertainment it has to be original. It's your only guarantee of buying Disney quality that you and your family deserve. If you have any worries concerning pirate videos call one of these numbers now."

Music/Sounds Variant: In said early variant, the voiceover said "Welcome to a world of fantasy, music and magical entertainment, the Disney collection! But the sound and picture quality will not be magical if you buy illegal pirate copies. For real entertainment it has to be original. Make sure you buy a true Disney Experience by looking for the Mickey Mouse hologram on the spine of the cover, and the new Mickey Hologram on the cassette. It's your only guarantee of buying Disney quality that you and your family deserve. If you have any worries concerning pirate videos call one of these numbers now." The voiceover, along with the audio from the film clips are spoken over a portion of the music from a home video trailer for Return to Never Land (which was apparently the first tape to contain this PIF).

5th Bumper (2005-2006)
Bumper: A still image of an outlined skull and crossbones reading "DVD piracy is a crime", on a blue gradient background with the Mickey Mouse heads and "Disney" text all over it, appears before this bumper begins. The bumper begins with the last seconds of the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo and an assortment of "Good Vs. Evil" Disney film clips, after which the skull and crossbones motif on the blue background reappears. This cuts in a "glitchy" style of a "pirated" DVD to a clip from Brother Bear, which is the demonstration of fake vs. real, in a very similar style to the previous VHS warnings, showing a crystal clear Disney DVD and a "glitchy" pirate DVD. Afterwards, a demonstration of where to locate the holograms on both DVD's and DVD cases in an almost identical style to the previous adverts with the BBFC U rating and the Disney DVD logo is shown on the same blue background as before. The clips play again before the FACT and INFACT hotlines appear in a black font on the same blue background as before.

Technique: The 3D holograms, tilting DVD case, animated sequences, and glitchy effect piracy demonstration.

Music/Sounds: At the beginning, the song "Hall of the Mountain King" plays as an announcer (the same one from the alternate VHS variant) says "In ever great Disney DVDs can give, there are heroes, and the villains. The good guys, and the bad guys. But with the pirated DVD copies there are only ever villains. DVD piracy is a crime that needs to be stopped. The inferior quality of these pirated DVDs will spoil the joy of watching the film. Only with the Disney DVD guarantee, it has a Disney hologram on the disc and the Mickey Mouse hologram on the spine of the case. Then you know you're bringing home all the wonder, all the magic, and all the fun that can a genuine Disney DVD can give. If you have any worries of concerning pirate DVD copies, please call of these numbers now".

Availability: No longer current. On most retail Disney DVD's from 2005 to 2006, such as Chicken Little and the sixth wave of The Little Lulu Show DVD sets (which was Buena Vista releases, also a VHS counterpart and paired up with the 2004 Cookie Jar logo).

(1992-2001)
Bumper: The last few seconds of the Disney Videos logo's animation are shown, and then it cuts to the clips from the Disney films. After the last clip, it fades to the same blue/green gradient background from the Disney Videos logo, where the Disney Videos print logo and the 5 VHS covers are shown. Two VHS covers fade in after the 5 VHS covers and the Disney Videos print logo fade out. Afterwards, the two VHS covers tilt to reveal the holograms and the "Walt Disney" and "Disney" logos come out from the front covers and zoom in to a comfortable distance. The logos shine, and two copies of the Mickey Mouse hologram zoom in for clarification. Afterwards, the logos and the copies of the two holograms return to their respective places.

Variants:
 * The video cover may change through the years. From 1992 to 1994, the tail end of the Sorcerer Mickey is shown, and from late 1994 to early 1995, the Disney Videos logo is presented austerely on a grey-white gradient background and shadow floor on the bottom background. Also, after the last clip, it fades to a magenta background, where the Disney Videos print logo and the 5 VHS covers are shown. Two VHS covers fade in after the 5 VHS covers and the Disney Videos print logo fade out. Afterwards, the two VHS covers tilt to reveal the holograms and the "Walt Disney: Los Clasicos" and "Disney" logos come out from the front cover and zoom in to a comfortable distance.

Technique: Just about everything.

Some Spanish text types in, reading:

Exija videocassettes originales. Las copias ilegales tienen mala calidad de visionado y son un fraude al consumidor, que además ponen en peligro la continuidad del mercado del cine.

Afterwards, more Spanish text types in, reading:

Evite el fraude, que perjudica tanto al consumidor como a las compañías distribuidoras y a los legítimos propietarios de los derechos de autor.

Finally, the warning text types in.

The tape featured has a yellow label, while the hologram features a traditional film camera (a more realistic depiction than in the UK warnings) with duplicates of BVHV on the background.
 * 1993-1995 - Same as the version above, but this time the text appears on the background of the tape. After the second part of the Spanish text is finished typing in, it fades out, seguing via fade in to the warning screen.

Al inspeccionar el holograma bajo una luz brillante, podrá ver la imagen tridimensional de una antigua cámara de cine sobre un fondo con las letras de BVHV. Si gira el holograma de derecha a izquierda, aparecerá un arcoiris de colores. y podrá ver como la cámara gira ligeramente, llegando incluso a poder mirar a través del objetivo de la misma." ("This film must bear the "Buena Vista Home Video" holographic seal affixed to the tape and to the cover. When inspecting the hologram under bright light, you will be able to see the three-dimensional image of an old movie camera against a background bearing the letters BVHV. If you rotate the hologram from right to left, a rainbow of colors will appear. and you will be able to see how the camera rotates slightly, even being able to look through its lens.)
 * 1993-1995 - "Esta película debe llevar el sello holográfico de "Buena Vista Home Video" pegado en la cinta y en la carátula. Al inspeccionar el holograma bajo una luz brillante, podrá ver la imagen tridimensional de una antigua cámara de cine sobre un fondo con las letras de BVHV.

Al inspeccionar los hologramas bajo una luz brillante, podrá ver, en uno: la imagen tridimensional de una antigua cámara de cine sobre un fondo con las letras BVHV. y en el otro: la imagen de Mickey Mouse sobre un fondo con la palabra Disney."

Availability: Seen on some Disney tapes from Spain, such as Pinocchio.

(1992-2000)
Bumper: On a black/blue gradient background, we see a VHS cover, depending on the film it is on. Then, the VHS cover tilts to reveal the hologram. Next, it fades to the Univideo security sticker. After it shines, the Univideo security sticker zooms to the left side for the hologram to fade in, with the company's logo underneath. Finally, it fades to the text shown here.

Variants:
 * From 1991 to 1994, the Camera hologram was used.

 * From 1994 to 2000, the Mickey Mouse hologram was used.
 * Starting in 1995, the Disney Video logo is used below but stays on the screen and no fade-out effect and the text reads "Non accettate i falsi, esigete sempre e solo videocassette originali Disney Video".

Trivia: These bumpers were created in response to the circulation of bootleg copies of many pre-1949 Walt Disney animated features by a number of companies, most notoriously Eclecta Video. At the time, it was presumed that these films had fallen into the public domain in Italy; Disney disputed this and posted notices at video stores warning customers that the Eclecta tapes of Disney product were illegal. Eclecta in turn responded with letters sent to the same stores insisting that their tapes of pre-1949 Disney cartoons were made within legal jurisdictions. The final sentence on this case was issued in 2015, according to the Disney Tapes and More website, which also notes that a similar unauthorized distributor of these features in Italy, Walkman S.r.l., removed its releases of them from circulation at Disney's insistence.

Technique: Motion controlled graphics.

Music/Sounds/Voiceover:
 * (1991-1995 version) "È un vero Walt Disney solo se ha la garanzia di autenticità e qualità dell'ologramma argentato ed il marchio Univideo presenti sulla confezione. Non accettate i falsi, esigete sempre e solo videocassette originali Walt Disney Home Video."
 * (1995-2000 version) "È un vero Walt Disney solo se ha la garanzia di autenticità e qualità dell'ologramma argentato ed il marchio Univideo presenti sulla confezione."

The key differences are the clips used to demonstrate the difference of fake and real VCD's include clips from Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. The announcement is in Cantonese, but appear to follow the same pattern as the English version. Towards the end, the hologram and other identifiers on a VCD case of The Lion King are shown - the hologram is the same as the VHS hologram of the same time period.

Afterwards, Brian Cummings continues, "Because seeing is believing. But just listen to the difference!" At the Cinderella clip, the girl says, "Mom, I can't hear what she's saying! How come the video doesn't work?", and the girl's mom replies, "Oh, not again!" At the 101 Dalmatians (1961) clip, the girl says, "I can't watch this! This is no good!" Afterwards, Brian Cummings continues again, "For the best in quality entertainment, people look to Disney. To recognize its authenticity, look for the Disney brand name on the video cover, and the Mickey hologram on the spine.
