Buena Vista Home Entertainment Sneak Peek Bumpers

1st Bumper (2003)
Bumper: On the same background as the bumpers used at the time, the words "SNEAK PEEK" come on from the left.

Variants:
 * On some tapes, there is the word "Exclusive" above "SNEAK PEEK" in the same font as the "Coming Soon" from said ident.
 * On the 2003 DVD of The Lion King, the font is slightly different and larger and the words "SNEAK PEEK" slide in a little bit rougher

FX/SFX: Same as the "Coming Soon to Theaters" and other bumpers used at the time.

Music/Sounds: The same music as the "Coming Soon to Theaters" and other bumpers and an announcer says "Here's a sneak peek at an all new Lion King motion picture event!"

Availability: Rare. Seen on some Disney/Miramax VHS releases from 2003 including Finding Nemo, Freaky Friday, and Pokémon Heroes. The "Exclusive" variant is harder to find but can be seen on the 2003 VHS release of The Lion King.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Bumper (February 10, 2004-Early 2009?)
Nicknames: "Sneak Peeks Menu"

Bumper: On the same blue filmreel background of similar 1999-2006 Disney bumpers, the phrase "Sneak Peeks" zooms slowly down the top of the screen and stays put. Four gold arrows slide in from all four directions of the screen, making the words "PLAY ALL" (on the top right side of the screen), "MAIN MENU" (at the bottom right side) and "MORE" (at the bottom left side) appear. Then, several logos for movies/TV shows animate in several unique ways and appear in the middle of the screen in all sides. Then, a gold filmreel with blue holes appears next to the top movie logo, and the viewer can use their remote control to move the filmreel to a movie logo, which by clicking on them takes them to the trailer they want to see, or to "PLAY ALL" (which plays all the trailers), "MAIN MENU" (which jumps right back to the main menu) and "MORE" (which jumps to a new menu of more trailers). When the viewer selects a trailer they want, the small filmreel inverts and the menu cuts to black, then the start of the trailer.

FX/SFX: "Sneak Peeks" appearing, the menu options appearing, the gold arrows moving, the logos animating.

Music/Sounds: A brief shimmering sound when "Sneak Peeks" appears, then a deep but very calm synth theme is heard, along with sound effects corresponding to the movie logos appearing. There are also several beeping sounds present in bumpers used at the time.

Availability: Very common. Can be seen on many DVD releases of Disney (and a few Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension and Buena Vista releases as well) movies and TV shows from the period. Since this is more of a menu than a logo, it can only be accessed by selecting "SNEAK PEEKS" from the main menu of the DVD. This logo was first seen on the first DVD release of The Lion King 1 1/2, and last appeared around early 2009 (three years after Disney completely abandoned their 1999-2006 bumpers). On current releases from 2010 onward, if you select "SNEAK PEEKS" from the main menu of the film you're about to watch, it doesn't jump to this menu and jumps straight to the trailers on the DVD.

Editor's Note: To those who've grown up with the DVDs during this bumper's lifespan, it's a favorite of many.

3rd Bumper (2009 - 2013)
Nicknames: "Sneak Peeks Menu"

Bumper: On a blue background filled with light blue swirls (taken from the "Coming to Theaters" bumper used for Blu-Ray releases), we see the white text: "To view these Trailers and more" at the top of the screen. Below the text, we see a few movie titles/logos placed in the center of the screen. At the bottom of the screen is the white text "Press Sneak Peeks on the Main Menu".

FX/SFX: Depending on the bumper, some, all, or none of the logos are animated.

Music/Sounds: A orchestrated tune that's bright and whimsical in tone.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on some Blu-Ray releases of Disney of the era, such as Cars, and the Diamond Editions of The Lion King and Bsmbi.

Editor's Note: To those who've grown up with the DVDs during this bumper's lifespan, it's a favorite of many.
