Revision as of 16:48, 13 October 2022 by DisneyInternationalFan (talk | contribs) (Text replacement - " Bumpers]]" to " warning screens]]")

1st Warning (2003-2007)

Warning: On a black background, we see "FBI WARNING" in a red font that's similar to Times New Roman. Below it is white warning text.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Common. Seen on Shout! Factory releases of the era, such as The Best of the Electric Company.

Legacy: The text "FBI WARNING" looks extremely cheap.


2nd Warning (2007-)

Warning: On a red moving spiral/globe/grid backdrop, "FBI ANTI-PIRACY WARNING" in the Impact font (with "FBI ANTI-PIRACY" in white and "WARNING" in red) fades in along with the FBI seal. After that, white "$250,000" text wipes in at the bottom of "WARNING".

FX/SFX: The background, the fading of the seal and "FBI ANTI-PIRACY WARNING", the text wiping in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on most Shout! Factory releases of the era, such as My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. Used in tandem with the next screen.

Legacy: Probably an improvement over the standard 2004 and 2013 FBI anti-piracy warning screens most studios use.


3rd Warning (2007-)

Warning: About the same as the 1981-2004 Warner Home Video FBI Warning, except the FBI Seal is colored, FBI is not as long, and the text in the more square-shaped box is in a generic font and re-arranged slightly differently.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on some Shout! Factory releases, such as Sonic the Hedgehog (SATAM): The Complete Series. Used in tandem with the previous screen.
