Walt Disney Studios Feature Presentation ID Flash of Doom (1994 1995-1999, 2003 2004)
On a white background, which quickly changes to black, the shiny blue text "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in the font ITC Tiepolo SC, zooms out. When it reaches the middle of the screen, a white flash occurs. The background changes to blue and the text becomes white.
VHS appearances[]
First seen on Hollywood's Holy Matrimony in fall 1994, it can be seen on VHS releases afterwards until 1999 from Disney's (then-owned/then-active) film divisions and subsidiaries: Hollywood, Touchstone, Miramax, and Dimension. It can also be seen on many 1995-1999 Disney prints from the era, although all Masterpiece Collection prints and most Disney prints from 1999 feature the third ID instead. Although the logo was officially last used on Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You, Dimension continued use of this logo well into the early-mid 2000s. Strangely, this also appears on The Great Mouse Detective and the Masterpiece Collection release of Lady and the Tramp, which is rather odd considering that they use previews that were usually accompanied by the 1991 FP ID.
Scare Factor.[]
High to nightmare, because the very sudden flash combined with the somewhat scary music can catch you off-guard, especially since it comes after a trailer with no warning at all whatsoever. The text and the announcer don't look nor sound too friendly, either. However, it's less scary for those used to it.
