Note: Because there was no Canadian version of the Disney Channel until September 2015 (the exact reason why the Family Network airs Disney programs and movies), these bumpers are only seen on the U.S. versions of the videocassettes mentioned on this page.
1999-2000
Bumper: An iris-in effect brings forth a background full of cartoonish-looking pink, blue and yellow circles moving outward, with zig-zagged edges on them and black particles in them. Over it is the 1997-2002 Disney Channel logo, which consists of a black television screen with Mickey Mouse ears at the top and the word "Disney" on it and "CHANNEL" below it, and inside the television screen is the cast of the Playhouse Disney series Out of the Box dancing around, looking and waving at the audience.
Trivia: This was used on the Disney Channel itself as the endcard for Out of the Box promos (explaining why its cast and theme song are used); as used there, the "CHANNEL" text beneath the logo is absent, and the gap along the bottom of the screen is filled an uneven purple rectangle containing the show's name and timeslot. An example can be seen here.
FX/SFX: The cast of Out of the Box dancing around, the colorful circles with black particles moving outward.
Music/Sounds: A "pop" sound, and then a poppy guitar/synth tune (the end of the Out of the Box theme song) with Brian Cummings saying "Be sure to catch all the fun and excitement on the Disney Channel!"
Availability: Seen on the 1999-2000 VHS releases of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (WDMC edition), The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, Disney's Sing Along Songs: Flik's Musical Adventure at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Madeline: Lost in Paris, Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving, Where's Spot?, Spot Goes to the Farm, Spot Goes to a Party, Spot Goes to School, Sweet Dreams Spot, Spot's Magical Christmas, Spot and His Grandparents Go to the Carnival, Discover Spot, Winnie the Pooh: Sing a Song with Pooh Bear, Winnie the Pooh: Sing a Song with Tigger, some Winnie the Pooh: Friendship... releases, and The Tigger Movie.
2000-September 18, 2001
Bumper: Just the normal 1997-2002 Disney Channel Originals logo with Mickey Mouse dancing inside the black television set. It appears with the same iris-in effect as the 1st bumper.
FX/SFX: Same as the 1997 Disney Channel Originals logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous bumper.

2001-02
Bumper: On a black background, we see the Disney Channel logo from the 1999-2002 Disney Channel Originals logo, and it flashes colors and has a "ghost" waving behind it like it normally would in the said logo.
FX/SFX: The changing colors, the "ghost".
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous bumpers.
Availability: Seen on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Book of Pooh: A Valentine for Eeyore and four Rolie Polie Olie tapes. It is also seen on certain VHS tapes of Disney Channel Original Movies from the period, such as Miracle in Lane 2, Motocrossed, Zenon: The Zequel, and The Color of Friendship.
Final Note: Since Disney Channel rebranded itself on September 30th, 2002, none of these bumpers were shown on subsequent VHS tapes with Disney Channel promos beginning with the 2002 VHS release of Very Merry Christmas Sing Along Songs.
