Warner Bros. Pictures: Difference between revisions

* An in-credit version appears after the [[Walt Disney Pictures]] or the [[Touchstone Pictures]] logos on films by those studios that were theatrically distributed through Warner in Italy, such as ''Ducktales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp''. The standard WB shield, however, never appeared at the beginning and the end of Disney/Touchstone films they distributed overseas between 1987 and 1992; it is rumored that only localized in-credit WB logos were used alongside the Disney logo in certain territories, such as in France and Germany, since the majority of the overseas Disney posters released at the time do not often show the logo and it is credited in text only, commonly in very small font size. However, there are instances that the print WB shield logo can be found in the original UK (and South Korean) theatrical posters and press kits of ''Beauty and The Beast'', as well as on the late 1980s re-releases of ''Cinderella'' (also seen in the Dutch re-release poster), ''Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs'' and ''Peter Pan''. It is also seen on random Touchstone posters in the UK such as ''Green Card'' and ''Three Men and a Little Lady'' as well. In line with Disney's full control regarding distribution of their material, other WB logos, such as the 50th anniversary logo featuring Bugs Bunny as well as showing of ''Looney Tunes'' shorts, are not allowed to be shown in Disney and Touchstone films.

** Many of the UK quad posters of Disney/Touchstone films released during this period incorporate the WB print logo design guidelines while replacing the print WB shield logo with their corresponding logos, for example, the Disney logo for ''Fantasia'' and ''The Little Mermaid'' and the Touchstone logo on ''Good Morning Vietnam''. A handful number of UK quad posters do not have any mentions of Warner at all, like in the case of ''Oliver & Company''.

* The 1984 Warner Communications "Distributed by" variant can be found at the end of the 1999 DVD of ''The American President'' (1995) of all places, likely due to a printing error when editing out the [[Columbia Pictures]] in-credit closing logo.

* It also appears on U.S. theatrical and VHS releases of ''The Nutcracker Prince'', but the [[GoodTimes Entertainment|GoodTimes]] DVD release trims it off and only contains the [[Amberwood Entertainment|Lacewood Productions]] logo, most likely because it used a master prepared by the new rights holders that removed references to Warner and added overseas opening credits (sourced from a VHS master) onto a higher quality U.S. master.

* The 1992 opening variant also makes a surprise appearance at the end of the 2001 widescreen DVD of ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'' (1971), replacing the 2000 closing variant with URL (which the fullscreen DVD used).

* The 1984 Warner Communications opening variant strangely plasters the [[New Line Cinema]] logo on the 2018 Criterion Collection DVD's of ''Female Trouble'' and ''Polyester''. It also makes an even stranger appearance on the ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' version of ''Catalina Caper'', a [[Crown International Pictures|Crown International]] film (it appears to have been sourced from a television print from around 1987); it appears as Joel and the Bots are entering the theater.

* The 1984 Warner Communications byline variant also plastered the 1968 [[Paramount Pictures]] logo on the 1991 laserdisc release of ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'' (1971).

** The in-credit variant also appears at the end of the film.
