Rugrats: Artsy Antics, the first release from May 2001

From Wikipedia:

Rugrats is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon. The series focuses on a group of toddlers, most prominently Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil, and their day-to-day lives, usually involving life experiences that become much greater adventures in the imaginations of the main characters.

In 2001 Paramount Home Entertainment introduced a standard template for their VHS releases of the series. In the UK it was used for eleven VHS releases, from Rugrats: Artsy Antics (7 May 2001) to Rugrats: Mysteries (3 March 2003).

The titles and callouts are set in Triplex Sans Bold and the episode synopses are set in Kids. “Composer” and “Created By” credits are set in FB Agency Condensed Regular, the Nickelodeon URL in Eagle Bold, the VHS statistics in Helvetica and “Distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment (UK)” in a Garamond, possibly Berthold Garamond. The barcode number is set in OCR-B. Text in the triangle uses Gill Sans and the VHS label is in Arial.

Rugrats: Easter was first released in March 2002.
