The Laserdisc turtle is a mascot of the brand Laserdisc from the early 1990's to the discountinuation of the discs in 2001.
On single sided Laserdiscs mastered by Pioneer, playing the wrong side will cause a still screen to appear with a happy, upside down turtle that has a Laserdisc for a stomach (nicknamed the "Laserdisc Turtle"). The words "Program material is recorded on the other side of this disc" are below the turtle. Other manufacturers used a regular text message without graphics.
The turtle was faded in 2001 when Laserdiscs sold the final discs.
