| - Bumper: On a background filled with blue/indigo squares, we see a flat, blue frame with the Paramount-Buena Vista Home Entertainment stylized mountain-castle logo in silver. The circular line shines from left to right, then the Paramount-Buena Vista frame flies off as the blue/indigo squares move, opening up like a door. "COMING ATTRACTIONS" in red is revealed on a purple background with sound-wave bars in white. "COMING ATTRACTIONS" zooms in to the center of the screen. It then shines, and after a few moments, it zooms out, and then in towards the viewer, fading to black, while the images ripple out.

The circular line shines from left to right, then the Paramount-Buena Vista frame flies off as the blue/indigo squares move, opening up like a door.

It then shines, and after a few moments, it zooms out, and then in towards the viewer, fading to black, while the images ripple out. Bylines: This used whatever byline Paramount-Buena Vista Home Entertainment was using at the time:
* 1988-1989: "A Disney+Vista Company"
* 1989-1995: "A Buena Vista Distribution Company" (in a sans serif font)
* 1995-1999: "A WALT DISNEY COMPANY" (with "WALT DISNEY" in the Disney corporate font) Variants:
* 1988-1997 VHS tapes have the middle frame read "Paramount-Buena Vista Home Video"
* 1998-1999 VHS tapes have the middle frame read "Paramount-Buena Vista Home Entertainment". FX/SFX: The CGI squares moving away, the animation on the flat, blue Paramount-Buena Vista frame, and the "rippling". Cheesy Factor: The zooming effect on "COMING ATTRACTIONS" looks like cheap computer effects. Music/Sounds/Voice-over: An electro-hop version of an abridged version of the Paramount on Parade fanfare, along with an announcer saying "Here are some exciting coming attractions from Paramount". The announcer is Brian Cummings (known for his work of Disney's trailers and promotions). Availability: Uncommon. This was only used until 1999. The Disney+Vista variant is rare and it's seen on Beverly Hills Police II, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, The Presidio, The Experts, Major League and The Naked Gut: From the Flies of the Police Squad!, while the Buena Vista Distribution version is more common, and found on 1989-1995 tapes such as Will's World and the original release of It's the Easter Beagle, Brer Rabbit, and the Walt Disney version is seen on 1995-1999 tapes such as Donkey Kong Country: Legend of the Crystal Coconut and The Phantom. Scare Factor: None to low. The zooming in of "COMING ATTRACTIONS" with the jarring fade to a black screen after it can surprise some first-time viewers, as well as the fanfare.
