Disney Videos Illegal Cassette (1996-2002)
Bumper: The EK Disney Videos logo is shown for one second and then it cuts to the clips of the Disney movies, and we cut to demonstrations of the "glitchy" and normal clips of the Disney films. And then, it cuts to the VHS cover with the EKFGR E rating on the blue and green gradient background from the Disney Videos logo, it tilts to reveal the holograms. The Camera hologram (A standard film camera on a tripod with duplicates of BVHV in rows) zooms up to the top right corner and the Mickey Mouse hologram (Sorcerer Mickey in a TV screen with multicolored swirls on the outside) zooms up to the bottom right corner for clarification. They fade out and the tape with the EKFGR E rating fades in with the label and hologram (depending on which film). The hologram zooms up to the top right corner for clarification, finally, it cuts back to the clips and it fades to black and the EKFACT number in a white Helvetica font reads:

FX/SFX: The clips and cheap CGI of the VHS tape.

Music/Sounds/Voiceover: Silence, when the Disney Videos is shown for one second, then "Disney is Magic" instrumental plays in the background as Brian Cummings says "Welcome to a world of fantasy, music, and magical entertainment, the Disney video collection! A collection of videos that will bring your family countless hours of fun and excitement. But be sure that you get the Disney original when you buy, or you just might hear about it from your family." At the Dumbo clip, the girl says "Mom, the picture's all fuzzy and the video isn't working!" At the 101 Dalmatians (1961) clip, the boy says "I can't hear it! This is no good!" Afterwards, Brian Cummings continues again, "For the best in quality entertainment, people look to Disney. To recognize it's authenticity, look for the Disney brand name on the video cover, and the Mickey hologram on the spine. It's your only guarantee of buying a true Disney original, featuring the quality and high standards that you and your family deserve. Your family will thank you for it." with "Disney is Magic" instrumental playing in the background. And finally the music finishes, and Brian Cummings concludes: "If you have any worries concerning pirate videos, call one of these numbers now."

Walt Disney Home Entertainment: DVD Piracy is a Crime (2005-2006)
Bumper: A still image of an outlined skull and crossbones reading "DVD piracy is a crime" on a blue gradient background with the Mickey Mouse heads with Disney all over it appear before this bumper begins. The bumper begins with the last seconds of the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo and an assortment of "Good Vs. Evil" Disney film clips, after which the skull and crossbones motif on the blue background reappears. This cuts in a "glitchy" style of a "pirated" DVD to a clip from Brother Bear, which is the demonstration of fake vs. real, in a very similar style to the previous VHS warnings, showing a crystal clear Disney DVD, and a "glitchy" Pirate DVD. Afterwards, a demonstration of where to locate the holograms on both DVD's and DVD cases in an almost identical style to the previous adverts with the EKFGR E rating and the Disney DVD logo is shown on the same blue background as before. The clips play again before the EKFACT and EKFVSO hotlines appear reading:

FX/SFX: The 3D holograms, tilting DVD case, animated sequences, and glitchy effect piracy demonstration.

Music/Sounds/Voiceover: At the beginning, "In the Hall Of The Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg (from Peer Gynt) plays as Tom Kane says "In every great Disney DVD, there are the heroes, and the villains. The good guys, and the bad guys. But with pirated DVD copies, there are only ever villains. DVD piracy is a crime and needs to be stopped. And, the inferior quality of these pirated DVDs will spoil your enjoyment of watching the film. Only a genuine Disney DVD is guaranteed. If it has the Disney hologram on the disc, and the Mickey Mouse hologram on the side of the case, then you'll know you'll be bringing home all the wonder, all the magic, and all the fun that only a genuine Disney DVD can give. If you have any worries concerning pirated DVD copies, please call one of these numbers now."

2009-present
Nickname: "Thank You"

Bumper: On a light grey-blue gradient background with some clouds in the sky, we see a boy from a distance looking at a disc. He then turns to look at us as the disc shines once. He then looks up to notice something - the large gold-orange words "THANK YOU" falling down just next to him, that shine and twinkle. As it lands, the sky background colour changes to purple-pink-orange, with some stars seen in the sky. The camera slowly pulls back as the boy recovers, turning back to look at us.

FX/SFX: The kid holding the disc, "THANK YOU" falling down, the sky background changing colour. All CGI effects.

Music/Sounds/Voiceover (Blu-Ray version): A male announcer says "By purchasing this Blu-Ray Disc, you are supporting your local film industry. Thank you!". This is accompanied to the sound of birds tweeting, a loud whistling noise before "THANK YOU" falls onscreen, a loud thud as it lands, the sound of a crowd cheering, and a peaceful, dreamy synth hum with twinkling noises.

Music/Sounds/Voiceover (DVD version): A male announcer says "By purchasing this DVD, you are supporting your local film industry. Thank you!". This is accompanied to the sound of birds tweeting, a loud whistling noise before "THANK YOU" falls onscreen, a loud thud as it lands, the sound of a crowd cheering, and a peaceful, dreamy synth hum with twinkling noises.

2002-2004
Nicknames: "The Devil of Anti-Piracy", "The Pirates are out to get you", "The Devil of fictional", "Welcome to the anti-piracy hell"

Bumper: We start off with a scene where a man is seen heating something in a fire. The camera then changes its angle to point at the fire, and what has been heated is removed by the man. The camera then suddenly changes angles again to show us that he had been frying an metal branding X. He shows a hot red X to us. The camera suddenly changes angles once again to reveal a treasury of videocassettes. The camera then suddenly changes again to the flaming red X as the man moves it away from the camera. The camera then suddenly changes to the treasury of videocassettes, which now has the flaming red X with its fork attached to it being lowered. Then, there is a very large explosion, which dies down to reveal the treasury of videocassettes now destroyed. We then fade to a view of the man himself grinning with the camera, which zooms in suddenly. The camera then suddenly changes to another view of the fire, which is now frying another flaming red X. The camera suddenly changes to a view of the man, who is removing the flaming red X and setting it someplace else. Then, there is another very large explosion, which dies down to reveal a stash of compact discs now destroyed. The camera then again suddenly changes to another view of the man with flames reflecting in his eyes, and another sudden zoom in. The camera then suddenly changes again, and the scene before the first explosion plays. Then, there is a third very large explosion, which dies down to reveal a stash of other things now destroyed. We then fade into a view of a water bucket with the camera. The flaming red X is placed in that bucket of water, and suddenly, a huge amount of steam comes pouring out from the bucket. The flaming red X is removed to reveal that it had been changed to what appears to be the copyright symbol.The copyright symbol is then moved away from the water bucket, in which the camera then suddenly changes to another view. Once the copyright symbol is in a comfortable spot, it then turns white and lights itself on fire. The clip then burns up to reveal a white background, the copyright symbol changes colours from white to sky blue, and two pieces of filmstrip come in from the left and right sides of the screen (one on the left and one on the right) The one on the left has the letters "F" and "A". The one on the right has the letter "T". The completed word zooms out, and the same letters, but in standard black and the normal "C" is added, appear above the word. Some more letters appear after the words to reveal the phrase "FEDERATION AGAINST COPYRIGHT THEFT". "HOTLINE" then appears below the word "FACT" in the same colour as the copyright symbol. They both then move upwards, and "HOTLINE" then turns yellow and lights itself on fire. "020 8568 6646 (UK)" then appears along with "(01) 882 8565 (EIRE)", then appears along with The "AFVSO (Australia) Freecall 1800 251 996" fades in along with "NZFVSO (New Zealand) Freecall 0800 275002", then appears along with "EKFVSO (El Kadsre) Freecall 0800 284183" below "HOTLINE". A flame then appears at the bottom of the screen, wiping out the completed bumper. When the flame has finished wiping out the bumper, the bumper itself then disappears off the top of the screen.

FX/SFX: Live action and CGI, The man destroying many items with an X, then the fading in of the Hotline numbers, The flame wiping out the bumper.

Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Some scary music is playing in the background along with three explosions as a man says "The pirates are out to get you. Don’t let them brand you with their mark. Piracy funds organised crime and will destroy our film and video industry. Piracy costs jobs and will destroy our music and publishing industry. Piracy funds terrorism and will destroy our development and your future enjoyment. Don’t touch the hot stuff. Cool is copyright. Copyright is a matter of fact" Then a different man says "If you have any knowledge about the manufacture sale or counterfeit videos or related software, please call our UK Hotline on 020 8568 double 646 or in the Republic of Ireland 01 double 82 8565. In Australia, You should call the Australasian Film and Video Security Office on 18 hundred 251 double 96 or for New Zealand, The New Zealand Film and Video Security Office on 08 hundred 275 double 02 or for El Kadsre, The El Kadsreian Film and Video Security Office on 08 hundred 284 183.
