Screen (October 10, 1995-2003)

Standard variant (part 1)
Standard variant (part 2)
Later variant (part 1)
Later variant (part 2)

Visuals: On a black background, the word "WARNING" appears in white with a red line underneath. The following text appears below:

Unauthorized duplication
is a violation of Federal
copyright laws.

Then, the screen fades to a new screen. The second screen is nearly the same as the 4th PolyGram Video warning, except the words "FBI WARNING" in red and in Helvetica font, and white text below in Helvetica Condensed font.

Trivia: This warning screen has a few mistakes. On the first screen, "federal" is needlessly capitalized. On the second screen, "and" is misspelled as "amd", and "video discs" isn't pluralized.

Variants:

On later tapes, "WARNING" and "FBI WARNING" are both in the same font with no underline, and the text font is different. In this variant, the "amd" has been corrected.
On the 1997 VHS of Annabelle's Wish (and its 2000 DVD by Ralph Edwards Films), only the second screen is shown.

Technique: Fading effects.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on releases from Hallmark Home Entertainment (including cassette #1 of the 1996 Gulliver's Travels miniseries), KingWorld Direct, Haber Video, PM Entertainment Group, and the obscure series The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald.
