Golden Book Video/Home Entertainment Warning Screen

As of 2013, no warning screens or bumpers will be edited on here anymore. Head on over to <a class="external" href="http://companybumpers.wikifoundry.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the new, separate wiki</a> please.

1st Warning
(1985-1987)

Warning: On a black background, we see the warning text, with "WARNING:" in red, and the rest of the text in white and in capital letters, with "WESTERN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC." in larger letters (on some videos, it varies: the Sesame Street ones use "CHILDREN'S TELEVISION WORKSHOP and MUPPETS, INC." and Herbert the Timid Dragon and Other Tales uses "MERCER MAYER" instead.).

Variants:

• Some tapes rephrase the warning to refer to video adaptions instead of motion pictures, although the warnings on tapes that credit "Children's Television Workshop and Muppets, Inc.", refer to both.
• Some tapes have a blue background.
  
• Starting in 1986, the warning text is rephrased and/or in a different font .
• On Canadian releases, the warning text is phrased and in capitals.

FX/SFX: None.

Availability: Seen on all videos from this era with the 1985-1986 music and the scary "Space" closing logo at the end, including the early Golden Step Ahead releases, and on some 1986 Golden Book Video releases using the 1986-1996 music.

Scare Factor: Low to medium.







2nd Warning
(1987-2002)

Warning: Similar to the previous, except it appears in a somewhat modified font (except for "WARNING:" which appears in the same font), and is smaller in text. The warning text in white is now in lowercase. Plus, it's not as long as before.

Variant(s):

• Some tapes have the warning text rephrased.
  

FX/SFX: None.

Availability: Seen on all Golden Book Video releases from 1987-1996 with the 1986-1996 jingle, as well as GoldenVision, Golden Step Ahead, and Golden Books Home/Family Entertainment releases (later co-released by Sony Wonder). Also seen on DVD releases from the company.

Scare Factor: Low.
