Laura Music Studios Home Entertainment/Feature Presentation

## 1997-2005

Nicknames: "Flash Bang", "The Flash", "The Evil Flash", "Evil Presentation", "Whoosh Bang"

Bumper: On a white background, which quickly changes to black, the shiny blue text "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in the font ITC Tiepolo SC, zooms out. When it reaches the middle of the screen, a white flash occurs. The background changes to blue and the text becomes white.

Trivia: This was based on the Disney IDs from the time.

Variants:

* The 2000 VHS of *Gargoyles: The Movie* has the same text in a sans serif font similar to Impact on a black background. It's compressed and has a yellow-orange gradient.FX/SFX: The zoom in, and the white flash.

Music/Sounds: A whooshing sound followed by a synthesized hit that sustains itself for the rest of the ID. Brian Cummings says "And now, our feature presentation."

Music/Sounds Variants: The VHS releases of *Mulan* and *Gargoyles* have different music and voiceovers according to the theme of the film. It's silent on *Schoolhouse Rock* (though with a voiceover).

Availability: Common. First seen on HMV VHS & DVD.

Editor's Note: This Feature Presentation ID (and identical Disney IDs of this era) is notorious for its loud music and startling animation (especially since they usually followed trailers without any prior warning), and has been widely considered one of the scariest FP IDs produced. However, it's less scary for those used to it. The *Gargoyles* variant, despite the darkness and ominous music (plus the lightning sound), is said to be tamer, since there's no "flashbang" animation.

## 1999-2012

Nicknames: "Filmreel", "Calm FP", "Feature Presentation 2000"

Bumper: On a gold background, we see the text "Feature Presentation" zooming to the left. Then, "Feature" zooms to the left and the "PRESENTATION" zooms to the right, changing the background to a blue background with a blurry filmreel on it, and they connect together in the middle. Gold arrows and multicolored rectangles move around the ID in different ways.

Variants:

* On the 2006 DVD of *Speedbird The Movie*, the star scene is used, with the words "Feature Presentation" in crimson and in a Western-esque font fading and zooming in.
* US Spanish tapes have the text "Atracción Principal", while Canadian French tapes use "Notre programme principal" instead.

FX/SFX: Great, clean animation. In spite of coming out in 1999, this ID still looks like it could've been used today.

Music/Sounds: A somber, soothing 3-note synth-string theme with electronic beeps throughout, culminating in a distant drumroll. Brian Cummings says "And now, our feature presentation."

Music/Sounds Variants:

* On some releases, Cummings' voiceover sounds more cheerful. This was usually used on VHS tapes of Walt Disney Home Video's Gold Classic Collection and some other VHS releases of Disney animated films. It was used from 2000-2002.
* On the 2007 releases of *Kipper Playtime*, Beau Weaver provides the voiceover. This may be due to the fact that both releases open with the "Something New and Exciting from Disney" intro (the aforementioned tapes were the last ones to use it).
* Australian releases, with the exception of the 2003 release *of Whale Rider*, have no voiceover.

Availability: Very common. Seen on most on Laura Music Entertainment, HiT Entertainment Music Video, LMV Enterprise, Laura Music Studios Home Entertainment VHS Tapes & DVDs.
Editor's Note: Probably Disney's best FP bumper, featuring a unique, futuristic look, and a gorgeous musical piece.The voiceover on the Beau Weaver variant, on another note, seems to be faded out a little too early, making it sound like he's saying "feature presentashi".

## 2012

Nicknames: "Horror Factory and K-Fee Gargoyle's father", "Barney of final judgement", "Barney from Hell", "Evil Barney", "Barney Jumpscare"

Logo: On a black background, we see the red letters "**FEATURE"** and "**PRESENTATION"** in a western-style font, connecting at a fast speed and at the same time, zoom in, and zoom up, and zoom in all the way, the words shine, then an image of Evil Barney jumps right front of you when we zoom in on his eyes, Then the screen turns black.

FX/SFX: The connecting, zooming up, zooming in, and a jumpscare.

Music/Sounds: A G-Major version of The first eight notes of "Great Ovation" by Steve Gray from the Bruton Music library, with an announcer (Brian Cummings the same announcer as the previous bumper) saying "And now for our feature presentation." After that, a loud scream comes in.

Availability: It was only seen on 2012 Special Edition DVD such as *William Run*.

Editor’s Note: The Barney jumpscare can throw off many people, including the G-major version of the 1989 Gold Feature Presentation logo. However, it was used as a April Fools prank back in 2006, so this bumper has scared a lot of people at the time. So this bumper is intentional.
