Can I and McDonald's1 asked you to merge the two sections: and. The end result is like that: "July 14th, 1985-February 28th, 1989"

 Bumper : On a black background, we see the following white clip-on texts in a plain white font.

 Clip-ons :
 * COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU IN THE SUMMER OF 1985
 * COMING SOON (In Arial Narrow font)
 * Coming Soon From WALT DISNEY HOME VIDEO (In a bold Helvetica Font)
 * Now on Walt Disney Home Video... (In a Slanted Times New Roman font)
 * COMING SOON FROM TOUCHSTONE HOME VIDEO (with "TOUCHSTONE HOME VIDEO" having in its own logo and it was colored turquoise)
 * AND NOW, A PREVIEW OF ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER HIT FROM TOUCHSTONE HOME VIDEO (Only seen on the 1987-88 VHS releases of Tin Men, Hello Again, D.O.A., Shoot to Kill, and Good Morning, Vietnam)
 * ASK YOUR VIDEO DEALER ABOUT THIS HIT TITLE, ALSO FROM TOUCHSTONE HOME VIDEO
 * AND NOW, A PREVIEW OF ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER HIT. (Only seen on the 1988 VHS release of The Rescue)
 * PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
 * FEATURE PRESENTATION

 Variants :
 * On the "Coming Soon From WALT DISNEY HOME VIDEO..." clip-on, it was on a black-blue gradient background.
 * On the 1986 VHS release of My Science Project, the text is dark blue.
 * After the first trailer plays, a clip of The Sorcerer's Apprentice from WDAS’s Fantasia plays. The music from the short is heard, along with the same announcer from the "Walt Disney and You" promo plays, and an announcer says "And here's what's coming soon!"
 * A variant of the "Ask Your Video Dealer..." clip-on exists, where the text is mostly in lowercase letters and instead reads "Ask your video dealer now about this hit title also from Touchstone Home Video." The same male announcer says the text, only his tone is different. This version appears on the 1988 VHS releases of Three Men and a Baby and Adventures in Babysitting.
 * A variant of the "And Now, a Preview..." clip-on exists, where the text is in an all caps Impact font. This version appears on the 1988 VHS release of Hello Again.
 * Feature Presentation sub-variants:
 * On the 1988 VHS releases of Can't Buy Me Love and Hello Again, the letters are in a different font and italicized.
 * On the 1988 VHS releases of Adventures in Babysitting, a special animated variant is used. The text is the same as the 1st variant, but in gold. It then rotates around once, revealing its interlocked with the film's logo, and thus rests on that. The logo then shines and flies away into the left side of the background.
 * One variant of the “Public Service Announcement“ clip-on exists, where the background is orange red and the text is bolder. This version is only seen on the original 1987 VHS release of Outrageous Fortune.

 FX/SFX : None for most clip-ons. Two of them had the text scroll up.

 Music/Sounds : Often, it just had an announcer saying the following for two of the clip-ons:
 * Ask Your Video Dealer : "Ask your video dealer now about this hit title, also from Touchstone Home Video."
 * Feature Presentation : "And now, our feature presentation from Touchstone Home Video."

 Music/Sounds Variants (FP only) :
 * The 1988 VHS release of Good Morning, Vietnam had the announcer saying "And now, for our feature presentation, Good Morning, Vietnam."
 * On the 1988-89 VHS releases of Three Men and a Baby, Shoot to Kill, The Rescue, and Big Business, the announcer says "And now, our feature presentation."
 * On prints of the 1987 VHS release of Tough Guys that contain previews, a rock-and-roll tune plays, and the announcer says "And now, from Touchstone Home Video, our feature presentation, Tough Guys."
 * On the 1988 VHS releases of Hello Again and Can't Buy Me Love, the song "Real Wild Child" by Iggy Pop, notably featured in the preceding trailer for Adventures in Babysitting, is heard in the background.
 * A similar variant appears at the beginning of the 1988 VHS release of Adventures in Babysitting, except the excerpt from the previously mentioned song is slightly muffled and the announcer adds "...Adventures in Babysitting."
 * The 1988 VHS release of Outrageous Fortune has the announcer adding "...Outrageous Fortune."

 Music/Sounds Trivia : The announcer for the "Feature Presentation" variant is Brian Cummings (later credited as the voice of Sokolov in the PlayStation 2 video games Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence), while the "Also From Touchstone" and "And Now, a Preview" variants are announced by Grant Goodeve (later credited as the voice of Wolf O’Donnell in the Nintendo GameCube video game Star Fox: Assault). On the other hand, the “Public Service Announcement“ variant as well as the original 1985 variants are completely silent.

 Availability : Rare written all over it for the original 1985 bumpers. The original "COMING SOON" version is seen on the original video releases of Return to Oz and The Small One. The "Coming Soon From WALT DISNEY HOME VIDEO" clip-on appears on the 1986 VHS release of One Little Indian, among other releases of the time. The "Now on Walt Disney Home Video..." clip-on can be spotted on VHS reissues of Disney films from 1986 such as that of Return to Witch Mountain. The "COMING SOON FROM TOUCHSTONE HOME VIDEO" bumper can be seen on the VHS release of Wildside: Buffalo Who?. As for the 1987 version, it was only seen on some Touchstone Home Video VHS tapes from 1987 to 1989, such as D.O.A., Good Morning, Vietnam, Three Men and a Baby, Tin Men, Can't Buy Me Love, and Tough Guys. It is introduced in the 1985 VHS of Pinocchio.

 Editor's Note : This is the very first Disney ID to contain multiple clip-ons, introduced years before it became a standard. For the 1985 bumpers, it was is the last known Disney ID of any kind in U.S./Canada that didn't feature any voiceover on all of the bumpers until 2006. On the "Ask Your Video Dealer" variant, there's a period, but the comma is gone. This ID in general looks very plain and looks like it was done in just 2 minutes. In fairness, these were early forays into IDs for Disney, and they certainly got better over time. It's possible this was just a placeholder for the next ID. Also, the appearance of the FP text is awkwardly delayed on select VHS copies of Good Morning, Vietnam to make room for the announcer on it; had the FP text been on screen slightly longer, it would've been just fine.
