Jim Henson Video (Home Video Bumpers)

(1993-1995)

• 

Bumper: On the same background from the 1993 Jim Henson Video logo, the words "Feature Presentation" are shown in the center. The ID looks very similar to then-parent company Buena Vista Home Video's "Handwriting" Feature Presentation ID.

Variants: There are two extremely rare variants of this bumper. Both replace the regular text, the first reading "Coming Soon On Videocassette", the second saying "Now Available On Videocassette".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: An abridged version of the last few seconds of "All for Just One Thin Dime". A cheerful announcer says "And now, our feature presentation!".

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Both "...On Videocassette" variants are silent.
• On the 1992 Demo VHS of The Muppet Movie, the 1992 WDHV fanfare is played with no voiceover.

Availability: Rare. Can be found on VHS copies of The Muppets' Christmas Carol and Muppet Classic Theater. Prints of The Muppet Movie that don't have the "Comic Sans Prototype" Feature Program logo have this, too, and they also have the "Coming Soon On Videocassette" and "Now Available on Videocassette" variants described above.

Legacy: The font of "Feature Presentation" and the music may throw some off, as well as the sudden appearance of the Jim Henson Productions logo (which opens with a laser suddenly shooting down with a moderately loud carving noise) after this bumper. The bumper has overall been considered relatively tame by most though, especially in comparison to the "Handwriting" and "Flash Bang" IDs used by Jim Henson Video's parent company at the time.
