Buena Vista/Jim Henson/Walt Disney Home Entertainment Modified Screens

Note: The modified screens listed on this page, shown on Disney's videocassettes and DVDs as well as on non-premium television (as well as pay-per-views) and airlines, are used in the United States and Canada. They are also used in some international countries.

1st Modified Screen (February 18, 1994-2000, 2002)[]

Visuals: On the grass green background of the era's FBI warnings, we see the modified screen text, reading "THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION. IT HAS BEEN FORMATTED TO FIT YOUR TV."

Variants:

On color restorations of black-and-white films, the text is in Helvetica and reads "THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION. IT HAS BEEN REFORMATTED TO FIT YOUR TV AND IS A COLORIZED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM."
Sometimes, the text is in Futura Condensed, centered, and reads "THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION. IT HAS BEEN FORMATTED TO FIT YOUR TV SCREEN AND EDITED FOR CONTENT."
The 1995 VHS releases of Man of the House and The Santa Clause have the text in Futura Condensed. It's also larger, and with the space in-between each line of text compressed. "SCREEN" also follows "TV." This variant can also be seen on the 1995 demo VHS release of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (interestingly after the "Coming Soon to Own on Videocassette" bumper), a 1996 reissue of The Good Mother, the 1997 VHS of MicroCosmos, and a 1998 Dish on Demand airing of Flubber.
- On a July 1998 pay-per-view airing of Scream 2, the above variant is used, except with the text rearranged and "...AND COMPRESSED TO RUN IN THE TIME ALLOTTED" added to it.
The 1997 VHS and a pay-per-view airing of Evita have the text reading "THIS FILM HAS BEEN RECOMPOSED FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION IN ORDER TO FILL THE TELEVISION SCREEN" in a Helvetica font.
On the 2000 DVD of Make Mine Music, the text reads "THIS FILM HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM ITS ORIGINAL VERSION, AND HAS BEEN EDITED FOR CONTENT." This also appears on the 1997 Laserdisc of The 6th Man and the 2000 DVD of Pretty Woman, albeit in a different font.
The text is translated into Spanish and French languages on U.S. Spanish and French Canadian VHS releases, respectively.

Technique: A digital graphic with fading effects.

Audio: None.

Audio Variant: On most DVS tapes, a narrator reads out the screen, preceded by "A title reads..." (read by Wendie Sakakeeny on The Lion King and Phenomenon) or "A notice" (read by Kria Sakakeeny on Toy Story).

Availability: Common. Seen before the movie on Disney, Touchstone, Miramax, Hollywood, Buena Vista, and Dimension VHS releases from this era starting with some live-action videocassettes from 1994 such as The Program (the first tape to use this bumper), What's Love Got to Do with It?, Hocus Pocus, and D2: The Mighty Ducks.

The first animated features to use this were the first Masterpiece Collection releases, among them Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon, The Sword in the Stone, and Robin Hood.
Also seen on the short film compilations The Best of Roger Rabbit and Tin Toy Stories, as well as the Jim Henson Video release of The Dark Crystal. You can tell whether or not this screen will appear if you see the words on the back of the videocassette case.
The "colorized" version is seen on 1997 VHS releases of The Shaggy Dog and The Absent-Minded Professor.
The "edited" version was first seen on the 1995 VHS of Color of Night: Director's Cut. It then made appearances on the 1995 VHS release of Highlander: The Final Dimension (as well as its 1996 reprint under the Dimension Home Video label), and can be seen on the 1996 VHS of The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain and the 2000 releases of Saludos Amigos and Make Mine Music (both as part of the Gold Classics Collection), as well as the 10th Anniversary Edition of Pretty Woman.
It is also seen on the 1999 Anchor Bay VHS releases of Candleshoe and The North Avenue Irregulars, and PPV and VOD prints of Disney, Touchstone, Miramax, and Dimension movies of the era. It is preserved on several post-2000 VHS reprints, such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tombstone, Dangerous Minds, and Nothing to Lose (the latter three feature the 2000 warnings). It also appeared on later copies of the 2000 VHS of The Sixth Sense (despite having the 2000 warnings; these copies have no previews, and a different "Stay Tuned" bumper, compared to copies from earlier in 2000, which had previews and the 1997 warnings).
Weirdly, this appears on the letterboxed VHS release of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, and doesn't appear on a mid-1990s VHS of Escape from Witch Mountain and the DVS tapes of Scream and Life is Beautiful.
This also made a surprise appearance on the 2009 Disney Channel airing of Holes.
This can also be found on a May 21st, 2004 Disney Channel airing of Air Bud: Golden Receiver.

2nd Modified Screen (July 11th, 2000-present)[]

Visuals: On the blue background of the era's FBI warnings, we see the same text as on the last bumper, only this time, it is slightly larger and in a different font.
