'''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 8-12 minutes for the film to actually start. | '''Disney's FastPlay''' is a special feature used on Disney DVDs, introduced in the late summer of 2004.

However, a few titles play the trailers in the end. With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the feature began to be phased out after ''Frozen II''; before finally being retired for good in early August 2021. | ||

'''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 (averaging between 8-12 minutes' worth, less after the mid-2010s), 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. The logo's abrupt nature was also known to scare young children, earning it the nickname of "Your First Panic Attack" as a result. | '''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 (averaging between 8-12 minutes' worth, less after the mid-2010s), as well as the logo's speedy nature making it difficult to immediately hit the main menu option.
