Buena Vista Home Entertainment Coming Soon/Now Available to Rent on Video Bumpers

Descriptions by Aboutround77

1st Bumper (1994 - 1999) Bumper : On a blue background, we have the white text "COMING SOON TO RENT ON VIDEO" or "NOW AVAILABLE TO RENT ON VIDEO", in the 1994 Feature Presentation font, zooming in. The end result is identical to the "COMING SOON/NOW AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD" bumpers of the time.

FX/SFX : The zooming in of the text.

Music/Sounds : The 1989 FP music, with Brian Cummings reading the text for the bumpers above.

Availability : Very rare; seen on select Disney/Touchstone/Miramax/Hollywood/Dimension VHS prints of the era.

Editor's Note : Same as the "COMING SOON/NOW AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD" bumpers of the time. Despite some not being fond of the 1989 FP music, the animation for these bumpers is far more subdued than the usual "Flashbang" bumpers of the period.

2st Bumper (1999 - 2006)

Bumper : Same as the 1999 Filmreel Coming Soon to Theaters bumper, but "Coming Soon" or "Now Available" zooms down, and the words "TO RENT ON VIDEO" zoom in from the left.

Variant: At least one release featured the text "Coming Soon TO RENT ON VIDEO AND DVD," with an accompanying announcement to match.

FX/SFX : Same as the "Coming Soon to Theaters" bumper of the time.

Music/Sounds : The 1999 Coming Soon to Theaters/Filmreel music of the era, with Brian Cummings reading the text for the bumpers above.

Availability : Ultra rare; seen on only a handful of Disney/Touchstone/Miramax/Hollywood/Dimension VHS prints of the era.

Editor's Note : Same as the Coming Soon to Theaters bumpers of the time.
