Bumpers

These were shown before the feature presentation/feature program on VHS.

## Colourful Clip-Ons

These still, yet eye-catching logos were inspired by the Disney "Handprint" bumpers and were used from 1995-2002.

On a certain coloured background, coloured text appears as a character from a Kid Stuff program makes an announcement.

Coming Soon-Orange BG with purple text (mid 90s), yellow BG with blue text (late 90s) OR red BG (00s) with green text. Molly Lorenz from Molly and Roni's Story Shack says, "Coming soon from Kid Stuff."

Stay Tuned-Pink BG with blue text. Judi Williams from Tony's Tales says, "Stay tuned for a whole lot of fun after the program, then look for more Kid Stuff productions at a store near you!"

Feature Program (90s)/Presentation (00s)-Blue BG with white text. Dana Starbug says, "Please grab a seat, sit back, relax and enjoy the show."

Now Available-Green BG with yellow text (90s) or blue BG with green text (00s.) Roni Blak from Molly and Roni's Story Shack says, "Now available from Kid Stuff."

## Halloween

90s-"Unfitting" We see Dana and Donovan's house from The Starbug Club with a gray sky, black clouds and white lightning (the opening scene of "The Starbug Club Halloween Special") and "Coming Soon," "Now Available," or "Feature Program" with the first word in orange and the second word in green. A silly, cartoonish jazz piece by British Columbian composer Teresa Richert called "Kidding Around" plays as Tara Strong as Sophie Smithers from The Starbug Club says one of the following:

Coming Soon-"Coming soon!"

Now Available-"Now available!"

Feature Program-"And now, our feature program!"

2000s-"Button" Button, Dana Starbug's grey, bushy-furred cat, struts from left to right (for the "Coming Soon" and "Now Available" bumpers, Lion King style, think "Hakuna Matata") or prowls from right to left (for the "Feature" bumpers, Lion King style, think "I Just Can't Wait To Be King") across an orange background revealing "Coming Soon," "Now Available," "Feature Program" or "Feature Presentation" in a black graffiti font. Nate Nicholson (voiced by Nathan Lane) announces one of the following depending on the bumper as a sly jazz piece by Teresa Richert, "Into Mischief," plays:

COMING SOON: "Coming soon from Kid Stuff!"

NOW AVAILABLE: "Now available from Kid Stuff!"

FEATURE PROGRAM: "And now, our feature program!"

Feature Presentation: "And now we present a Halloween special!"

FACT: "Unfitting" (named for the unfitting music playing as the viewers see a Halloween scene) was inspired by Disney's kids' Halloween cartoon tapes from the early 90s and the "Button" bumpers (whose "Feature" bumpers were scary to young viewers) were inspired by Disney's Halloween 2001 videotape line.

## Winter

90s-Snow falls on Dana and Donovan's house as the yellow cursive words, "Coming Soon from Kid Stuff" are written out as we hear Donovan Starbug (voiced by Sam Vincent) say "Happy Holidays! Here's what's coming soon from Kid Stuff!"

00s-We see the Starbug family's TV show the blue cursive words, "Happy Holidays" written out on the Starbug family's TV screen and then the cursive morphs into the blue "Catsup" font words, "Now Available from Kid Stuff" as Eric Baumgartner's "Sugarplum Funk" plays. Papa Starbug, voiced by Rob Paulsen, says, "Happy Holidays! Here are a handful of trailers showing you what's new from Kid Stuff!"

FACT: The latter bumper was inspired by a Holidays in 2001 bumper by Disney.
