Changes: Jim Henson Video Feature Presentation Bumper

Revision as of 13:01, 15 April 2017

(1992-1996)

ID: On an abstract lilac-dark blue background like that of the Jim Henson Video logo, the words "Feature Presentation" are shown in the center.

Variants: There are two extremely rare variants of this ID, where the text reads either "Coming Soon on Videocassette" or "Now Available on Videocassette".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A different version of the honky-tonk piano theme from the "Comic Sans Prototype" Feature Program ID, with a cheerful announcer saying "And now, our feature presentation!".

Music/Sounds Variants: The "On Videocassette" variants are silent.

Availability: Slightly Common. Can be found on VHS releases of The Muppets' Christmas Carol and Muppet Classic Theater, and the 1996 issue of Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas. Prints of The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper that don't have the aforementioned Feature Program ID have this, too, as well as the variants.

Scare Factor: Low to medium. The font of "Feature Presentation" and the music may throw some off, as well as the sudden appearance of the Jim Henson Productions logo after this (which opens with a laser suddenly shooting down with a moderately loud carving noise), but overall it's a tame ID, especially compared to the "Handwriting" and "Flash Bang" IDs used by Jim Henson Video's parent company at the time. The announcer also sounds friendlier than most WDHV bumper announcers as well.
