FX/SFX: Same as the early-mid 2000s Warner Home Video Feature Presentation ID.

Editor's Note: Same as the early-mid 2000s Warner Home Video Feature Presentation ID, except for the announcer.

June 19, 1991

August 19-October 21, 1997

ID: We see Johnny Bravo from the TV series looking at us through binoculars before he moves them down and reveals himself. After this, Johnny does various activities (such as cooking) as logos and scenes for cartoons such as Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, and Johnny Bravo are shown. At the conclusion of the scenes, Johnny looks at us as a circle wipe makes him disappear and the Cartoon Network logo zooms in and settles on a black background.

FX/SFX: 90's animation.

Music/Sounds: A cartoony song with trumpets and percussion as well as cartoony sound effects as Johnny says "Hey there, I'm Johnny Bravo, one of Cartoon Network's big new stars! Right after this movie you get a little peek at 3 new Cartoon Network shows, with 4 big new stars that are hotter than a peanut butter and banana sandwich, deep fried. There's that little microscope jockey boy wonder texter, a Spanish-speaking bovine cow and her clucking brother chicken... whatever, and the most gyrating thrill making love machine around... hup! Me, Johnny Bravo! And I even threw in a full-length cartoon for your viewing pleasure, just 'cause I like you! So stick around after the flick my little amigos! Like me, it's worth the wait!"

Availability: Appears on the 1997 VHS's of Cats Don't Dance and Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood.

March 12, 1998

ID: We pan around an empty Houston Astrodome as it is decorated to look like a live performance auditorium with spotlights shining down on the stage, with a microphone on it and speakers in front of it. On the fence of the upper seating area, the word "SELENA" is lit. We soon fade to a more zoomed-in pan of the Astrodome and fade out.

Trivia: The Houston Astrodome concert mentioned in the bumper would be Selena's last before being shot and killed by her former friend Yolanda Saldívar in 1995. The killing was prompted after Selena discovered Salvídar had been embezzling from her fan club and boutiques and intended to fire her.

FX/SFX: The panning.

Music/Sounds: A male announcer says "Stay tuned after the movie for a documentary presentation of the real Selena, performing an electrifying medley of songs at the Houston Astrodome!"

Music/Sounds Variant: On the demo VHS release, a different male announcer says "Stay tuned after the movie for an exclusive music video of the real Selena's electrifying concert at the Astrodome!"

Availability: Appears on the 1998 VHS of Selena.

Editor's Note: Considering the circumstances, it might be chilling for some to hear mention of Selena.

April 10, 1998

ID: We see various scenes from music videos slide upwards before we cut to a splitscreen of some of the cast looking at us. We then see footage from the music video for "Iris" before we fade out.

Variant: The UK release instead has plain text reading "Look out for Goo Goo Doll's 'Iris' and U2's 'If God will send his Angels' music videos after City of Angels main feature."

FX/SFX: The footage.

Music/Sounds: Music from the soundtrack for City of Angels plays as a male announcer says "Stay tuned after the movie for music videos from the City of Angels soundtrack, featuring U2's 'If God Will Send His Angels', and the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris'."

(skip to 2:04)

ID: We fade into a scene from Contact in which Dr. Arroway slowly turns around and then is warped into the pod, which then drops in a pool of water below.

FX/SFX: The scene.

Music/Sounds: A stoic-sounding male announcer, similar to the one from the Cloud Ten Pictures IDs, says "Stay tuned after the movie for a special documentary presentation of the making of selected Contact visual effects."

Availability: Appears on the 1998 VHS of Contact, as well as its demo counterpart.

Editor's Note: The announcer could surprise first-time viewers.

September 21, 1998

ID: As we start to see various shots of behind-the-scenes footage from L.A. Confidential, the words "Stay Tuned..." wipe in, letter by letter, on the screen in a typewriter font. After two scenes, the words disappear and we see more scenes before a flash cuts the screen to a logo for L.A. Confidential: Off the Record.... We then see interview footage, then more behind-the-scenes footage, before another flash from a camera cuts us to a final screen of us panning back from several copies of the same issue of Hush-Hush with Mickey C's image on the cover.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: The same stoic-sounding male announcer from above says "Stay tuned after the movie for a special documentary presentation of Off the Record, the real dish on the making of L.A. Confidential. You heard it here first: on the QT, and Very Hush-Hush." Other than this, we hear a song with occasional loud trumpet notes and typewriter sounds as the words wipe in on the screen, a "zap" sound during the cut to the logo, and a "click" sound as the camera flashes.

Availability: Appears on the 1998 VHS release of L.A. Confidential.

Editor's Note: The announcer might surprise some and the music/sound effects, as well as the cuts, might jar some.

September 22, 1998-2000 (original usage); 2002 (reprint)

ID: On a cordovan background with glasses, flashlights, and yellow outline sketches of Velma looking for her glasses from Scooby-Doo, we see the orange text "STAY TUNED FOR A SPECIAL TRAILER FOLLOWING THIS PROGRAM!" with "SPECIAL" in blue, and a shadow effect applied to the text.

Variant: On some Scooby-Doo tapes, this has a dark-purple-ish blue background with green spooky ghosts. The text is yellow instead of orange and reads "STAY TUNED FOR A BONUS CARTOON FROM (Cartoon Network Logo) RIGHT AFTER SCOOBY-DOO".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None, except for an announcer saying the text. The announcer appears to be Brian Cummings. However, the variant has a different announcer saying "Check out a bonus cartoon exclusively from Cartoon Network coming up, right after Scooby-Doo."

Availability: The cordovan version is rare, as it is only seen on the VHS release of Scooby Doo on Zombie Island (though it has been sighted on a 2000 reissue as well as its 2002 reprint). The purple variant is only a little more common, but still rare.

Editor's Note: The rather stern announcer of the cordovan version could startle first-time viewers. The purple variant, however, has a somewhat friendlier announcer.

1998 (B)

Next, Courage blows up a chicken coop, cutting to a shot with a space background and the title of the cartoon in red, arched letters with a green shadow. After next cutting to a pink-cumulus gradient colored background with the Cartoon Network logo slowly zooming in on it, we cut to a scene of Courage getting scared by a farmer with a scary face and fade out.

FX/SFX: 90's animation.

Music/Sounds: Mostly just the audio of the pilot, which is accompanied by an orchestral song and a male announcer saying "Right after Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost, watch Courage the Cowardly Dog prove he's no chill, as he races against time testing his skills and strength, overcoming his fears to save the one he loves. It's all on the Academy Award-nominated short, Courage the Cowardly Dog in The Chicken from Outer Space, a Cartoon Network exclusive following Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost."

As they settle on the bottom-left of the screen, a scene from Will Smith's Wild Wild West music video slides down on the screen, which soon changes to a scene from Enrique Iglesias' Bailamos. As this happens, the background slowly begins to fade out, and we fade out after the Bailamos scene.

FX/SFX: The robot tarantula walking into the distance, the words sliding left, the scenes from the music videos.

Music/Sounds: A song with drums ending in a cymbal hit and a chime note as a male announcer says "Stay tuned after the movie for two music videos: Will Smith's 'Wild Wild West' and 'Bailamos' by Enrique Iglesias."

Courage begins to get scared and as we cut closer to him, he gets more terrified. Another cut reveals we had been in the eyesight of two monsters. As Courage continues to get even more scared, the two monsters unmask themselves as Shaggy and Scooby; however this causes Courage to scream to the point of losing his teeth. The screen then cuts to the Courage the Cowardly Dog logo (with Courage waving at us) and we fade out.

FX/SFX: 2000's animation.

Music/Sounds: Just the audio of the short segment, with a horror theme. However, as Shaggy and Scooby pull their masks off, we hear a male announcer say "Coming up after the Scooby movie...".

Availability: Appears on the 2000 VHS of Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders.

Editor's Note: The shadow pulls open the door, but there's no hand to "follow" the shadow and push it. This is likely due to an animation error.
