Golden Book Home Entertainment Warning Screens

1st Warning (1985-1987)
Warning: On a black background, we see the warning text, with "WARNING:" in red, and the rest of the text ("subject the offender" text) in white capital letters, with "WESTERN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC." in larger letters (on some videos, it varies: the Sesame Street ones use "CHILDREN'S TELEVISION WORKSHOP and MUPPETS, INC." and Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales uses "MERCER MAYER" instead.).

Variants:
 * Some tapes rephrase the warning to refer to video adaptations instead of motion pictures, although the warnings on tapes that credit "Children's Television Workshop and Muppets, Inc." refer to both.
 * On the 1985 VHS of Masters Of The Universe Stories, everything that was supposed to be black in the warning screen is blue.
 * Starting in 1986, the warning text is rephrased and/or in a different font.
 * On Canadian releases, the warning text is aligned to the center and in capitals.

Availability: Seen on all videos from this era with the 1985-1986 music and the "Space" closing logo at the end, including the early Golden Step Ahead releases, and on some 1986 Golden Book Video releases using the 1986-1996 music.
