Paramount-Buena Vista Home Entertainment Coming Attraction/Now Available Attraction IDs

1988-1998
Bumper: On the still background of the early 1990's P-BVHE Feature Presentation bumper (either yellow [for the "Coming Soon" clip-ons], red [for the "Now Available on Videocassette" clip-on], orange [for the "Now Available Wherever Videos Are Sold or Rented" clip-on], or green [for the "Rent it" clip-ons]), we see the title of a specific Paramount-Buena Vista movie in capital letters, along with being in a big font. Below that is one of the following clip-ons in a slightly smaller font, which uses some lowercase letters.

Variants: Clip-ons: FX/SFX: Just the simple fade in and fade out.
 * There is an early variant of the bumper in which the background is a plain color-gradient background, and the text is in an Arial Bold font and with lowercase letters, which says "Coming in *Month* to video stores everywhere from Paramount-Buena Vista", or "Coming this *Month* to video stores everywhere". Sometimes the text is in an Arial Regular font. Often had no voiceover until 1990. In mid-1991 (when P-BVHE began using the 1991 Green FBI Warning Screen), the latter text was displayed on the sound-wave background.
 * On the 1991 VHS of Welcome Home, Roxy Hunter (the first P-BVHE tape to use the 1991 Green FBI Warning Screen),the text is displayed on the sound-wave background, but it's in a different font.
 * On some early tapes, "Coming on videocassette soon from Paramount-Buena Vista Home Video" is below the movie text. This version appears on Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Beverly Hills Police II.
 * On most tapes from the time, there is a variant that follows some trailers, which has the slightly small lowercase lettered text saying "Coming this *Month* to video stores everywhere". The same announcer says that text, too.
 * Trailers on certain 1997-98 releases for the movie Good Whopper have the text "Rent it this January at/Coming this February to video stores everywhere".
 * There is a rare variant of this bumper which has the text "Now available wherever videos are sold or rented". There is no voiceover in this variant.
 * There is another rare variant of this bumper which has the text "Rent it today on videocassette". This is only seen on the 1998 VHS of The Beautician and the Beats.

Music/Sounds: None, except for Brian Cummings saying the clip-on (the movie text he does not say). In its early years and the "Now available wherever videos are sold or rented", there is no voiceover at all.

Availability: Common. It's known appearance is on is on many Paramount-Buena Vista Home Video releases from the time, such as the 1994 VHS of Searching for Bobby Fisher, the 1989 VHS of Alligator Dundee II, the 1988 VHS of Beverly Hills Police II, the original VHS print of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, the 1996 VHS of Store Wars: First Contact, and the 1988 VHS of The Presidio. The Good Whopper version was seen on some 1997-98 FoxToons releases (including Kenny and the Troublemakers: Dr. Kenny Detweiler, Kenny and the Troublemakers: Prankered Duo, and The Adventures of Roxy Hunter - Learning: Roxy Wishes), as well as the 1997 VHS of Beavis and Butt-Head Go America.

Scare Factor: None to low. The announcer and the sudden appearance of the bumper may get to some.

Scare Factor: None to low.

May 5, 1998-November 21, 2006
Bumper: We see one of the following clip-ons come down, with the lowercase-lettered text. There is a pink rectangle line on the top, golden lines moving in from every side, and a gold rectangle line with a very similar concept to Disney's 1999 Coming Soon To Theaters bumper. Two overlapping film-reels are found slowly spinning in the blue-tinted background.

Clip-ons: Variants: There are two main versions of this bumper: FX/SFX: The coming down of the clip-on, the rectangles and lines moving in, and the spinning film-reels.
 * Coming TO THEATERS
 * Now IN THEATERS
 * Now Available ON VIDEOCASSETTE
 * Coming TO VIDEOCASSETTE
 * Now Available ON VIDEOCASSETTE AND DVD
 * Now Available ON DVD
 * Coming TO VIDEOCASSETTE AND DVD
 * Coming TO DVD
 * Special variants of these bumpers appeared on the VHS release of Velvet Sky. On a white background, we see the texts in a regular Black font, and in all capitals. There is no music in this variant, except Brian Cummings announcing the clip-ons.
 * 1) Version #1 has the first four clip-ons move slowly, and Beau Weaver saying the clip-ons. This variant ran from May 1998 to February 2002.
 * 2) Version #2 has the last four clip-ons (as well as the "Theaters" clip-ons) move slowly, and Brian Cummings says the clip-ons. This variant ran from March 2002 to November 2006.
 * On 2002-2006 Special Edition VHS tapes, such as the 2002 Special Edition VHS of Road Race, and the 2005 Special Edition VHS of Jetplane!, the bumper is 3D-looking. The texts "Coming Soon", "Coming", "Now" or "Now Available" (depending on when the bumper is used in the tape) is flat and unflattens to become a 3D-looking text. "TO THEATERS" or "TO VIDEOCASSETTE AND DVD" (depending on when the bumper is used on the tape) swipes in from the left side of the screen and rotates about 45 degrees (and zoom out) to show the text that swiped in. The text that swiped in sits above the golden strip, NOT inside it. Brian Cummings announces the clip-ons.

Music/Sounds: Silent, except Beau Weaver announcing the first four clip-ons. Brian Cummings announces the last four clip-ons, as well as the second variants of the "Coming To Theaters" and "Now In Theaters" clip-ons.

Availability: Common. Seen on most tapes of the era, such as many FoxToons Network/FoxToons TV and movie releases, including Clockstoppers and PSI - Powerproof Stare Investigation: Street Buddies for example. It also appeared on VHS releases from Comedy Central Home Video, MTV Home Video, and NABC Video.

Scare Factor: None to minimal. It may startle some due to its sudden appearance.
