Disney's FastPlay is | Disney's FastPlay is a special feature used on Disney DVDs, introduced in the late summer of 2004. The system purports to play the upcoming film and certain bonus features automatically, without needing to use a remote. Infamously, FastPlay will also play all of the trailers and previews featured on the DVD, meaning it can take up to 8 or 10 minutes for your movie to actually start. However, some releases like the 2018 DVD of ''Incredibles 2'' have the previews after the film. | ||

'''Logo:''' The Disney DVD logo (with a mirrored arc, seemingly to match with the FastPlay logo) shines on a cloudy blue background. Tinker Bell flies up and waves her wand on the Disney DVD logo, changing it into the FastPlay logo, and then flies away with her pixie dust trailing behind her. The pixie dust leaves behind two purple icons below the logo: "Main Menu" on the right (which appears first), and "FastPlay" on the left (which appears second). The Disney FastPlay logo "sparkles" throughout the logo. The Main Menu icon flashes twice, then the FastPlay icon flashes three times timed with the narration. The FastPlay logo shines and the logo fades out. | '''Logo:''' The Disney DVD logo (with a mirrored arc, seemingly to match with the FastPlay logo) shines on a cloudy blue background.

Your movie and a selection of bonus features will begin automatically. To bypass FastPlay, select the "Main Menu" button at any time. FastPlay will begin in a moment!" This is translated for each international version, and is roughly the same spiel each time, specifically: | ||

'''Availability:''' Fairly common. Seen on all DVD releases by Disney with the "FastPlay" feature since ''Mickey, Donald and Goofy: The Three Musketeers''. This also appears on Pixar releases starting with the 2011 re-release of ''The Incredibles'' (save for ''Onward'', which lacks previews completely and jumps to the main menu). Notably, the only three instances where it actually did what it advertised was on the 2009 Big Wave Edition DVD of ''Lilo & Stitch'', as well as ''Incredibles 2'' and ''Zombies 2'' (due to those releases not having previews before the film, and ''Incredibles 2'' plays the previews after the film). | '''Availability:''' Fairly common.

'''Editor's Note:''' While this logo is decently animated, the enhancement remains rather infamous for how it claims to play the movie "fast" and "automatically", when it really just plays the movie after a ton of trailers. This inspired numerous articles from disgruntled parents, and later became a minor internet meme. | '''Editor's Note:''' While this logo is decently animated, the enhancement remains rather infamous for how it claims to play the movie "fast" and "automatically", when it really just plays the movie after a ton of trailers, as well as the logo's speedy nature making it difficult to immediately hit the main menu option. This inspired numerous articles from disgruntled parents, and later became a minor internet meme. | ||
