Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Special Previews IDs

1st Logo
(1989)

Nickname: "STAY TOONED!"

Logo: On a grey background, similar to that of the 1989 Feature Presentation logo, we see the gold words "STAY" and "TOONED" in a cartoonish font come from opposite ends of the screen - the "STAY" from the top, and the "TOONED" from the bottom. They join, where a flash forms behind them, and spawns a shadow.

Trivia: Uniquely among Stay Tuned bumpers, this one advises the viewer to stay tuned for a preview BEFORE the film, instead of after - the home video trailer for Who Framed Roger Rabbit would play after the bumper finished.

FX/SFX: The two words flying and joining together, the flash, and the appearing shadow of the words.

Music/Sounds: The 1989 FP logo music, with Grant Goodeve saying "Stay tuned for the most fun ever on home video!"

Availability: Rare. Seen on 1989 VHS prints of Cocktail, Heartbreak Hotel, Beaches, Three Fugitives and Disorganized Crime.

Scare Factor: None, although the scare factor can be raised for those who weren't expecting it.

2nd Logo
(1992)

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Special Previews IDs - CLG Wiki

FX/SFX: None.

Variant: On some prints of Beauty and the Beast, there is no S after "Preview" (this leaves the main title as "Special Preview") and Mark Elliot announces "Be sure to stay tuned after our feature, for a look at another special preview from Walt Disney Home Video."

Music/Sounds: Same as the "Coming Only to Theatres this 1992 Holiday Season" logo, except Mark Elliot announces "Be sure to stay tuned after our feature, for a look at more special previews from Walt Disney Home Video."

Availability: Rare. Seen on the 1992 VHS print of Beauty and the Beast.

Scare Factor: Low; the text and music may surprise some.

3rd Logo
(1992)

FX/SFX: None.

Variant: On the 1st print of Father of the Bride (which is one of the first tapes to use the black-blue bumpers), we see the words "Special PREVIEWS" with "After the Movie from Buena Vista Home Video" below with the voice-over "Be sure to stay tuned after our feature, for a special look at something new and different from Buena Vista Home Video."

Music/Sounds: Same music as the previous one, while Grant Goodeve announces "Stay tuned after our feature."

Availability: Rare. Seen on the 1992 prints of Father of the Bride and So Dear to My Heart.

Scare Factor: Low; the dark background and music may surprise some.

4th Logo
(1992-1995)

A Special Message After our Feature (1993)

Logo: Same as the 2nd logo, except it reads "After our feature" with "MORE GREAT PREVIEWS" below.

Variants:

On tapes like Super Mario Bros. and The Mighty Ducks, the normal 1991 gold Walt Disney Home Video music is played and the screen says "A SPECIAL MESSAGE", with "after our feature" below it.
On the 1992 VHS of Newsies, the text just reads "A SPECIAL MESSAGE". The Newsies version also has no voiceover.
On the 1992 VHS of Honey I Blew Up the Kid, the text reads "STAY TUNED", with "after our feature..." below it. The voiceover says "Stay tuned after our feature, for a special music video."

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The music for the Jim Henson Video logo plays and an announcer says "Stay tuned after our feature, for more great previews." The announcer is Jim Cummings. The "A SPECIAL MESSAGE after our feature" variant has the announcer, Jim Cummings, say "Stay tuned after our feature, for a special message."
Availability: Seen on (non-Classics/Masterpiece) Disney, Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures video releases from 1993 to 1995.

Scare Factor: Same as the FP logo of the time, the dark background, somewhat spooky text, and animation of the words may get to a few, but it's otherwise harmless. But the next logo's a different story...

5th Logo
(1995-1999)

The Crow: City Of Angels - After The Feature (Special Previews) ID

*SKIP TO ABOUT 1:25 IN THE FIRST VIDEO TO SEE THE NORMAL VARIANT OF THIS LOGO*
*SKIP TO ABOUT 3:22 IN THE SECOND VIDEO TO SEE THE CROW VARIANT OF THIS LOGO*

Logo: The blue text "STAY TUNED AFTER THE FEATURE" zooms out on a black background; and then a white flash occurs. After the flash dies down, the background changes to blue and the text becomes white. The text fades out moments later and the 1994-2000 "FEATURE PRESENTATION" text, in white, fades in.

Variants:

On the 1994 VHS and the 1997 widescreen VHS of The Crow, there is no text zooming out. Instead, the film's crow symbol zooms out on a black background, and when the screen flashes, text appears saying "AFTER THE FEATURE" on the top and "LAST ON-CAMERA INTERVIEW WITH BRANDON LEE" at the bottom. The entire logo fades out and the standard 1994-1999 "FEATURE PRESENTATION" logo with the white text and blue background fades in.
The 1996 VHS of The Crow: City of Angels features a similar variant to The Crow variant with some notable changes. The background is a pale dark blue, the text (which is now in a different font) reads at the bottom "A SPECIAL BRANDON LEE TRIBUTE", and after the logo fades out the "NOW AVAILABLE ON CD & CASSETTE" (with white text on a blue background) fades in rather than the 1994-1999 "FEATURE PRESENTATION" logo.

FX/SFX: The zoom in, and the white flash.

Music/Sounds: An extended version of the 1994 FP music (a whooshing sound followed by an orchestral hit and a quiet note), with synth notes added to the entire duration of the quiet note, which in turn is followed by an announcer saying "Stay tuned after our feature for more great previews". The announcer is Brian Cummings.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On The Crow, the announcer says "Stay tuned after the feature for the last on-camera interview with Brandon Lee, which includes never-before-seen footage."
On The Crow: City of Angels, the announcer says "Stay tuned after the feature for a special Brandon Lee tribute, which includes never-before-seen footage."

Availability: Seen on some Disney releases from 1995 to 1999, including the Disney's Sing-Along Songs tapes of the period.

Scare Factor: Depending on the variant:

For the normal variant, same as the FP logo of the time, the flash combined with the somewhat scary music (which is made even creepier with the added synth notes) may scare over a few. But none to minimal (or maybe low) if you're used to it.
For both The Crow and The Crow: City of Angels variants; high to nightmare. The scary-looking crow on a dark background can be rather jarring for unsuspecting viewers (especially those expecting the original variant of this logo and winding up with this), and the fact that it uses the same animation and music from the original variant doesn't help matters.

6th Logo
(February 4, 1997-2003)

NOTE: If you are adding a new variant, it needs to be in chronological order, as in by year. You should not put it out of order. Thank you.

Logo: On a still (1997-1999) or animated (1999-2002) shot of a scene from a Disney movie, the text either says, "Join Us After the Feature" or "Stay Tuned After the Feature", or occasionally "Please Stay Tuned", "Join Us After the Movie" or "Premiering After the Movie".

Scare Factor: None, much tamer than before.

7th Logo
(2000-2005)

Logo: On a blurry background of two film reels and some colored squares, the words "Join Us" zoom down from the top of the screen to the bottom of a blue square near the top of the screen, while the words "AFTER THE PROGRAM (or MOVIE)" slides in from the left of the screen to the right of a yellow square near the center of the screen, while a bunch of golden arrows move around in different directions.

Variants:

On the 2004 VHS of Kill Bill: Volume 1, only the words "AFTER THE FEATURE" appear on where the "AFTER THE PROGRAM" text would normally appear. The animation of the logo seems to be slowed down as well.
On the 2000 VHS print of Tarzan and the 2001 releases Santa Who? and Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, the top portion has the words "More Excitement" slide in, while the words "FROM DISNEY" side in on the golden bar. Beau Weaver then says "And there's more excitement coming your way from Disney!"

FX/SFX: All of the animation.

Cheesy Factor: The white "AFTER THE FEATURE" text on the "After the Feature" variant is quite hard to make out on the bright gold square it appears on. Also, why isn't it animated in a similar fashion to the original logo? The finished product overall seems like a rushed job.

Music/Sounds: A gentle tune, with an announcer saying "Join us after the program for a special message from Disney". On The Country Bears, Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch and the 2005 Platinum Edition VHS of Cinderella, the announcer says "Be sure to join us after the movie for a special program."

Music/Sounds Variant: On the "After the Feature" variant, a different announcer says "Watch the trailers from writer/director Quentin Tarantino, coming up right after the feature." Instead of the standard flat music, a song from the film's soundtrack (Battle Without Honor or Humanity) is used in its place.

Availability: Uncommon; seen on the VHS releases of Dinosaur and The Country Bears as well as some other VHS releases from the period. The "After the Feature" variant is extremely rare, as it is seen only on the 2004 VHS release of Kill Bill: Volume 1. The last tape to use this logo was the 2005 Platinum Edition VHS release of Cinderella.

Scare Factor: None for the original logo. Low to medium for the "After the Feature" variant; the loud music may get to those unfamiliar of it, especially if they were expecting the standard music instead.

INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS

Poland
(1990s-????)

Logo:On a dark blue background, we see the white text "ZAPRASZAMY DO OBEJRZENIA ZWIASTUNÓW PO PROJEKCJI FILMU." (which means "We invite you to watch the trailers after the screening." in Polish).

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The music from the Jim Henson Video logo.

Availability: Seen on Chip i Dale: Brygada RR, and possibly a few Polish Disney tapes from the 90s.
