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, a few releases like the 2018 DVD of ''Incredibles 2'' instead have the previews after the film, meaning that the movie begins right away. Others, like the 2021 DVDs of ''Soul'' and ''Luca'', play no bonus features at all after the films, and instead begins at the main menu. | Disney's FastPlay is a special feature used on Disney DVDs, introduced in the late summer of 2004.

*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). | *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). | ||

'''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. | '''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 (just 1 or 2 in its final years), as well as the logo's speedy nature making it difficult to immediately hit the main menu option.
