1st (known) Warning (2005, 2008)

Visuals: On a daytime sky (taken from the opening credits of the 2005 The Magic Roundabout film), a blue pixie dust is been moving from left to right causing text in blue with a wavy effect to appear, reading:

Attention

L'oeuvre fixée sur ce support est exclusivement destinée à l'usage privé
dans le cercle familial.

Toute autre utilisation (reproduction, prêt, échange, diffusion en public
avec ou sans perception de droits d'entrée, télédiffusion en partie ou en
totalité, exportation sans autorisation), en dehors d'accords contractuels
spécifiques, est strictement interdite sous peine de poursuites judiciaires.

EDV 1718
The warning fades away just as the clouds get closer, fading it to black.

Variant: The Blu-ray release adds a drop shadow effect to the text as well as making it small however the warning itself fades to black and the clouds didn't move closer, possibly due to using footage from the 2K English master, where it fades out just as the title appears.

Technique: Footage from the film, alongside computer effects.

Audio: Part of the film's opening score, specifically when the Action Synthese Studio logo appears, alongside the sounds of magic appearing, same used when Train first appears in the movie.

Availability: Only appeared on the French DVD release of The Magic Roundabout (Pollux: Le Manege Enchante), as well as the French Blu-ray release of said film.

2nd (known) Warning (2005)

Visuals: On a navy blue textured background, there is a white outlined drawing of Dougal (from a concept sketch of the character for the 2005 The Magic Roundabout film) on the left, Ermintrude (also a concept sketch) on the top right, and the warning text from before typing on the right. After a few seconds, the camera pans down to the menu.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: Same as the 1st, albeit without the sound effects.

Availability: Only appeared on the second disc of the French DVD release of The Magic Roundabout.

3rd (known) Warning (2007?-?)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is the warning text from before in white.

Technique: A digital graphic.

Audio: None.
