The Evolution of FBI Warnings from Walt Disney Home Video

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

And now, the FBI is trying to shut down the world's most popular file sharing site, Megaupload (or Megacrapload to be exact). Bye-bye Mergaupload, we'll miss you! :(

These FBI screens brings back good times when it comes to Disney VHS tapes. And now, there's an organization to stop piracy online called SOPA. They need to boycott them. Screw the US government and everyone for using copyrighted material online. Today, we have internet where they have movies that download from many file sharing sites are illegal and without permission for using. Screw SOPA and everyone will protest them.

All the quiet made me worry there would be a screamer at the end of this video. o_o

[punkassvl]

the red one always scared me

[quiktymevideo]

Does broadcasting a VHS tape or DVD from your TV to a friend via Skype or any other instant messenger count as unauthorized exhibition? My girlfriend and I watch movies that way every Friday or Saturday night, sort of like a cyber date.

The Current FBI Warning BuddyBoy600 is just about the same as most of the other studios released on DVD & Blu-Ray.

[CretinWithACause]

Next time someone tells me that *I* waste too much time on the internet, I'm showing them your video.

[Hondo20132]

I remember a variation of the 1984-86 logo in which the FBI warning would just flash onscreen without fading.

Red - Rental Version, Green-Retail.

[JaceLikesMariah]

bloody FBI screens

[Teddyx1016]

Where it's from 1979-1983, says ''For Sale Only, Not Intended For Rental'' screens. . A few tapes had ''For Rental Only, Not For Sale'' screens too.

I never did get that " video disk " thing over the years. Movies were only available on videocassette until the late 90's. Since DVD's weren't around back before the late 90's , then what the heck is a video disk? I know CD's were around in 1983 , but DVD's are a turn-of -the-21st century thing.

[Palmerholic]

@raezer Video Discs = Laser Disk and RCA Selectavision Video Discs.

[Teddyx1016]

The red FBI screens didn't really end in 1986. It was from 1984-1991. The dark red FBI screens were from 1986-1988.

[Cooldudeguy6]

NOW THESE USED TO SCARE ME, escecially the ones with white letters and a black background, i hate quiet

[ELMERFUDDBUDD]

The first FBI Warning logo was used for the 1981 release of "The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh" along with the "Neon Mickey" variant and the "Buena Vista" title card on a light blue background.

[bananagirl1012]

thats a scary neon mickey mouse??? LOL all my life i thought it was a creepy ittle screaming girl with piggytails upside down lol =/

[BuddyBoy600]

The music was scary.

[tothemax300]

where is a neon mickey mouse? where is a mickey mouse in the first place???

[BuddyBoy600]

It's on Limited Gold Edition. BTW, Sometimes on the 4th FBI Warning (1986-1991), It has a video dealer announcer saying "If you like to own a video casette for this program for you home library, Ask your home video dealer about purchusing new, Or previous viewed tapes."

[systemoperator]

(imitating Pete from "A Goofy Movie) Wrong, Goof. This is how is really is:

1. 0:44-1:01 is from 1990 and ended 1991

2. 1:02-18 was only used once on a Walt Disney World tape

3. 1:19-1:36 ended 1991

4. 1:37-53 was from 1986-8

5. 1:54-2:10 ended in 1997

6. 2:11-27 was from 1997-2000

7. 2:28-44 was from 2000-4

[BuddyBoy600]

I haved already checked my old Disney's Sing-Along Songs VHS (Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). It used the 4th FBI Warning screen (Red, From 1986-1991).

[systemoperator]

That's impossible! Also, the 1986 screens ended in 1988 with "Benji the Hunted".

[BuddyBoy600]

Hmm. I do remember the 3rd FBI Warning had the "Scary Neon Mickey."

[systemoperator]

You must've gotten the off from a film with the 1983 WDHV logo.

[BuddyBoy600]

I have the 3rd FBI Warning (with the 1983 Walt Disney Home Video title, AKA Scary Neon Mickey) on Limited Gold Edition. After i saw that, I saw 2 Mickey Mouse evolution The Past and Present Mickey Mouse dancing.

Present Mickey: Hey! Hey you!

Past Mickey: "SQWAK!"

Present Mickey: Are you the first original Mickey Mouse?

Past Mickey: "SQWAK!"

[systemoperator]

Yeah, I think I remember that tape.

[PDS1990]

That's what I'm gonna call Alternate Neon Mickey.

BTW, My early Disney's Sing-Along Songs had the 4th FBI Warning screen. On Heigh Ho, Zip-Puh-Dee-Doo-Dah, You can fly, The Bear Necessities, Fun with Music, Under the Sea, Disneyland Fun, and Very Merry Christmas Songs. I love to Laugh, Be Our Guest, Friend Like Me, The Twelve Days of Chirstmas, and so on had the 5th FBI Warning Screen.

[kungfujiapple]

1. The blue FBI screens are from 1979 to 1983.

2. The red/blue FBI screens are from 1983 to 1984.

3. The red FBI warning screens ended in 1991, not 1986.

4. The red FBI screens that look similar to the green FBI screens ended in 1988 and also occasionally used in 1985.

[BuddyBoy600]

The Red FBI from 1984 was from Scary Neon Mickey with the word, Walt Disney Home Video. The Red FBI warning screen that is simular to the green one was used when Sorcerer Mickey logo of Walt Disney Home Video was used.
