You may not loan the video cassette to
anyone else for any reason whatsover.

The first four Touchstone releases in the UK, Splash, Country, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend and My Science Project should all have this.

3rd Warning (1987-1990)

Visuals: On a dark blue background, the same text from before is seen in a serif font, arranged like this:

THIS MOTION PICTURE, INCLUDING ITS
SOUND TRACK, IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT

DIFFUSION, COPYING AND EDITING ARE
PROHIBITED UNLESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORISED.
THIS CASSETTE IS FOR HOME USE ONLY.

Variants:

  • As the years progressed, the font of the warning screen changed. In late 1993, the font was changed to a bolder version of Helvetica. It was changed to Univers in late 1996/early 1997.
  • Starting in late 1998, the words "AND" and "ARE" are replaced with "OR" and "IS". The font of the warning text is also changed into a bolder version of Univers in this variant. Strangely, the 2002 UK and Irish retail VHS releases of Snow Dogs contained the 1993 variant.
  • Sometimes, the background is brighter.
  • On laserdisc releases, the text has a drop shadow effect and is in Gill Sans, and "LASERDISC" replaces "CASSETTE".

  • Titles with this warning range from ten early titles, such as The Rescuers, Run, Filofax (Taking Care of Business), The Little Mermaid, Pretty Woman, Sister Act, The Rocketeer, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Three Men and a Little Lady, Arachnophobia and Paradise to twelve later titles, such as Monsters, Inc., Gone in 60 Seconds, The Royal Tenenbaums, Chicago, Signs, Reign of Fire, Snow Dogs, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, The Ladykillers, Finding Nemo, Home on the Range, and The Incredibles.
  • It altogether appeared on thousands of Buena Vista videos from the timeframe given above in various fonts, including some of their most popular releases.

Unverkäuflich: Diese in der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland hergestellte Video Cassette ist und
bleibt Eigentum der Walt Disney Telecommunications
and Nontheatrical Company, Burbank, California 91521

The screen then cuts to the following text:

2nd Warning (1984-1991)

Visuals: On a light blue background, a blue Mickey Mouse head scrolls down from the top left to the middle left and scrolls to the middle right, wiping in the first set of some blue warning text, which later turns yellow. The head then appears again and wipes in more text, which also turns yellow after being formed. When the warning text is complete, it scrolls up. This is repeated a varied amount of times, each with a different set of warning text, which altogether is:

Dieser Film is urheberrechtlich geschützt und nur für den privaten Gebrauch bestimmt.
Jede gewerbliche Nutzung, auch wenn sie sich nur auf Teile des Films bezieht, und deren Duldung,
jede öffentliche Vorführung, auch wenn sie kostenlos erfolgt, sowie die Sendung, das Kopieren,

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on early German Touchstone tapes, such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

4th Warning (1991-1998)

They stay on screen for a couple of seconds, before some "paint" trickles down the screen, eventually segueing into the special version of the Disney Videos logo.

Variant: Starting in 2001, Tinkerbell appears instead, complete with fairy dust, and eventually turns the screen into the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo.

Technique: Computer effects.

Variants:

  • On pre-2002 DVDs, the warning is the same as the German Warner Home Video warning, but with "Buena Vista Home Entertainment" replacing the company name.
  • An alternate variant replaces all instances of "diese DVD", "dieser DVD" and "der DVD" with "dieses Produkt", "dieses Produkts" and "des Produkts" respectively, changes "Bild und Ton" to "Bild, Ton und Soundtrack", changes "oder Teilen davon" to "oder von Teilen davon" and removes the parentheses around it and changes "(Re)Import" to "Re-Import".

Availability: Seen on most DVD releases that include the German language such as the German DVD releases of Mary Poppins and many others. The pre-2002 version can also be seen on the 2000 Portuguese DVD release of The Jungle Book (1967) from Portugal due to the DVD being a generic Warner Home Video German DVD release master that contained the Portuguese language.

y son un fraude al consumidor, que además ponen en peligro la continuidad del mercado del cine.
Evite el fraude, que perjudica tanto al consumidor como a las compañías distribuidoras
y a los legítimos propietarios de los derechos de autor.

Audio: The same music as the Anti-Piracy warning before it, with the same announcer reading the text.

Audio Variants:

  • On one of the European Spanish Disney VHS tapes that were released in 1992 until 1993, the background music is a looped and edited version of the Walt Disney Home Video international logo that was used on international Disney VHS tapes that were released from early 1983 to March 1987, which still played after the Anti-Piracy warning.
  • When Disney tapes that were released after 1993, an instrumental of "Be Our Guest" plays instead.
