'''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 (consisting of a rapidly spinning DVD), 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.

# Even though the announcer says that the movie will "begin automatically", "Fast" Play starts with a long series of trailers embedded on the DVD, averaging up to 8-12 minutes worth of trailers before the movie starts. A correction would be there being a "Previews" button and the FastPlay button leading to the movie automatically. This led to the bumper (and the enhancement as a whole) becoming rather infamous through the eyes of collectors to the point where it became a minor internet meme (which then led to people calling this bumper "SlowPlay" or "ScamPlay"). | *# Even though the announcer says that the movie will "begin automatically", "Fast" Play starts with a long series of trailers embedded on the DVD, averaging up to 8-12 minutes worth of trailers before the movie starts.

*Since the enhancement began to be phased out in 2020, it was falsely rumored that the bumper would retire in 2021 (due to it most recently being used on the DVD of ''Strange World'', released on February 14, 2023). As of now, only time will tell if the enhancement will be phased out or not. | |||
