Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment/Clip-On Library/Europe and Middle East

Note: The acronym "EMEA" stands for "Europe, Middle East and Africa".

1st Bumper (1983) (Walt Disney Pictures)
Bumper: On a dark blue background, we see this text, in a white Helvetica font, fade in and out: "COMING TO A CINEMA NEAR YOU SOON".

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the fade-in and the fade-out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare. This bumper is only known to appear after the movie on the 1983 British rental VHS tapes of The Last Flight of Noah's Ark and Escape to Witch Mountain, before a reissue trailer for The Jungle Book (1967).

2nd Bumper (1985) (Walt Disney Pictures)


Bumper: On a blue background, we see the cheaply chyroned text: "SEE THIS OUTSTANDING DISNEY FILM AT A CINEMA NEAR YOU SOON." The text is displayed in a narrow robotic font.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Seen on the original 1985 UK rental VHS releases of Robin Hood (1973), Hunting Instinct, and Tex.

Legacy: Not only is the text cheaply chyroned, but it is also off center. The LCD-like text is also poorly done.

3rd Bumper (1986-1995)
See the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo for the description.

4th Bumper (1986-1993) (Touchstone Home Video)
See the 1986 Touchstone Home Video logo for the description.

5th Bumper (1986-1987) (Walt Disney Home Video)
See the Disney Premiere Cinema logo for the description.

6th Bumper (October 12, 1989) (Walt Disney Pictures)
Bumper: On a black background, we see the words "COMING THIS CHRISTMAS TO A CINEMA NEAR YOU".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Seen only at the beginning of the 1989 British retail VHS releases of Sleeping Beauty, preceding a trailer for Oliver & Company.

7th Bumper (1990-1993)
Bumper: On a blue background, we see the words "COMING SOON TO A CINEMA NEAR YOU", "NOW SHOWING AT A CINEMA YOU" or "COMING TO A CINEMA NEAR YOU THIS SUMMER".

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the fade-in and the fade-out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. It debuted on the 1990 British rental VHS releases of Turner & Hooch. It also appeared on the 1991-93 British retail VHS releases of The Jungle Book (1967), The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast (1991), and The Rescuers Down Under.

8th Bumper (1991)
Bumper: On a black background, the gold and shiny words "Rockwell" are seen in a Rockwell font.

Trivia: Interestingly, not only does this have an American-sounding announcer, but it happens to Brian Cummings, whose voiceover here (mentioned below) was shortened for use in a couple of American IDs. 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.

FX/SFX: A shine going across the text.

Music/Sounds: 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: Rare; 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-sounding 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.

9th Bumper (1991)
Bumper: 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.

FX/SFX: The flying, flipping and rotating of the background.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Very rare, as 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.

10th Bumper (1991-1992)
Bumper: On a blue background, there is a note displayed on the screen, which says "STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEWS OF DISNEY'S VIDEO RELEASES AFTER THE MAIN FEATURE".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on UK VHS releases of the era including Disney's Gummi Bears: Hot Little Tot, Disney's Gummi Bears: A Sky Full of Gummies, The Rescuers Down Under and Blackbeard's Ghost.

Bumper: On a black background, we see the clip-ons appearing in a blue gradient font:


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

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the animation.

Music/Sounds:


 * The "COMING SOON" and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" clip-ons, as well as the 1997 edition of the "NOW AVAILABLE" clip-on, contain a majestic horn & string-driven fanfare - possibly an alternate take of the 1991 WDHV logo theme. To make room for the music, these clip-ons 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 AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO" clip-on and the 1998 edition of the "NOW AVAILABLE" clip-on contain the 1991 WDHV logo jingle.

Music/Sounds Variants:


 * On the 2003 UK VHS releases of Inspector Gadget (1999), the slower version of the logo music is used on the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" clip-on.
 * On the 1993 UK rental VHS releases of The Distinguished Gentleman (the first tape to use the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" clip-on), a completely different majestic fanfare reminiscent of the second half of the Hollywood Pictures logo jingle is used on the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" clip-on.
 * 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" clip-ons.
 * On the 2000 UK retail VHS releases of Spot's Show and Other Musical Adventures, the music from other international bumpers is heard on the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" clip-on.
 * 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" clip-on.
 * On the 1998 UK rental VHS releases of The 6th Man, the 1991 WDHV logo jingle is heard on the "AVAILABLE TO BUY" clip-on.

Availability: Common. Seen on the rental and retail editions of many Buena Vista and Disney VHS releases from Great Britain.


 * These clip-ons were first used on the rental editions of VHS releases such as Aspen Extreme, 3 Ninjas, Born Yesterday, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, A Far Off Place, The Mighty Ducks are the Champions (known as The Mighty Ducks in America), Hocus Pocus, The Three Musketeers (1993), My Father the Hero, The Adventures of Huck Finn, Cool Runnings, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Lightning Jack, Little Buddha, Pulp Fiction, Iron Will, and In the Army Now.
 * Although the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" clip-on 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" clip-on 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 clip-on 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" clip-ons.
 * The first Disney-branded retail VHS release to contain the "COMING SOON" clip-on was A Bug's Life from 1999.
 * VHS tapes with the "NOW AVAILABLE" clip-on include the rental and retail editions of Disney-branded VHS tapes from the 2000s.
 * VHS tapes with the "AVAILABLE TO BUY" clip-on include the UK rental releases of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, Con Air, and The 6th Man.

Legacy:These are considered by some more unnerving than the American versions.

Because the Blockbuster/Ritz editions of the 1994 British rental VHS releases of Cool Runnings, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit and The Three Musketeers, as well as the non-Blockbuster/Ritz editions of the former two, were released before this bumper premiered, they only contain the aforementioned trailer. It made its final appearance on the 1996 British rental VHS releases of From Dusk Till Dawn, preceding the trailer for Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead.

22nd Bumper (March 27, 1995-1996) (Walt Disney Pictures)
