'''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, sounding bizarrely like the start of the Walt Disney Home Video "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, sounding bizarrely like the start of the Walt Disney Home Video "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear, closing with a single drumbeat.

'''Availability:''' Rare. At the time, ABC licensed its film and TV library to various companies for VHS/Laserdisc/Betamax release, such as Embassy Home Entertainment, Golden Book Video, CBS/Fox Video, Warner Home Video, and Republic Pictures Home Video (to name a few). The best way to find this logo is looking for an ABC Video Enterprises print logo on the cover. Of course, re-releases put out via Promotional Concept Group Inc. in the late 1980s-early 1990s will most likely use the 2nd logo instead. The silent version can be found at the end of the Playhouse Video release of ''Here Come the Littles!'' | |||
