'''Availability:''' Common. It appears on sequels of ''The Land Before Time'' franchise starting with ''The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure'' and ending with ''The Land Before Time XI: The Invasion of the Tinysauruses''. After the 1997 Universal logo was introduced, the logo then appeared at the end of the movies starting with ''The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island''. ''The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock'' has the 2nd logo instead (see below). It also appears at the end of the ''Balto'' sequels (''Wolf Quest'' and ''Wings of Change''), ''Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein'', and ''Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman'', among others. From 1998-1999 and 2003-2004, it was used in tandem with the 2nd logo. The short version appeared at the end of animated shows like ''Problem Child'', ''Exosquad'', ''The New Woody Woodpecker Show'' (where it appeared before the credits to fit in with [[Fox Kids Idents|Fox Kids]]' credit squeezing), ''Wing Commander Academy'', ''Earthworm Jim'' (the TV series), ''Beethoven: The Animated Series'', ''Monster Force'', ''Savage Dragon'', and the first six episodes of ''The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper''. However, it is intact on the first episode on the VHS and DVD releases of said show. | '''Availability:''' Common. | ||
