*A variation exists where the announcer says "Paramount is pleased to bring you our feature presentation". This was used with all three byline variants, and can be found on Laserdisc releases, as well as VHS releases which have no previews before the film (such as the 1989 releases of the first four ''Star Trek'' films, the 1998 release of ''A Separate Peace'', the 2000 release of ''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut'', the 2005 remake of ''Yours, Mine, and Ours'', the 2001 release ''Nick Jr.'s Imagine That!'', any promotional copies of movies released by Paramount (except for several of them such as ''Harriet the Spy'', ''The Ghost and the Darkness'', ''The General's Daughter'', ''Coach Carter, The Longest Yard, Aeon Flux, A Night at the Roxbury'', ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'', ''Teletubbies: Naughty Noo Noo!'', ''Boohbah: Hot Dog'', ''Ghost Town'', ''Rugrats: Phil and Lil Double Trouble'', ''What's Eating Gilbert Grape'', ''Rugrats: Grandpa's Favorite Stories'', ''Midnight Man'', ''The Phantom'', ''The Score'', ''A Very Brady Sequel'', ''Beavis and Butthead Do America'', ''The Ghost and the Darkness'' and ''[[Nickelodeon]] Super Toons''), and the 1998 widescreen VHS release of ''Forrest Gump'', while the full screen version has the standard voice-over). This variant also appears on tapes made and sold exclusively through Columbia House (usually identifiable by the presence of an orange sticker on the cover). On rare occasions, this variation did appear right after previews, such as the 1996 VHS of ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'' and its 2000 reprint, some demo and screener tapes, and a series of four videocassettes sold as part of a 1993 McDonald's promotion, including ''The Addams Family'' and ''Ghost'' (these releases have the Rank Home Video print logo on one of the spines on the slipcovers for those films and a face label on the tapes with a special red, yellow, black and white color scheme). | *A variation exists where the announcer says "Paramount is pleased to bring you our feature presentation".
