'''Republic Pictures Home Video''' (formerly '''NTA Home Entertainment''') was the home entertainment division of [[National Telefilm Associates]] founded in 1982 to distribute their library (including the [[Republic Pictures (Original Company)|Republic Pictures]] films and [[Paramount Cartoons]]) on home video. After the rebranding of NTA as [[Republic Pictures (National Telefilm Associates)|Republic Pictures]] in 1984, the home video division was rebranded as well. | |||
The division released material from it's catalog and later released other material. After Republic's purchase by Spelling Entertainment in 1994, they merged their existing home video unit [[Worldvision Home Video]] into Republic's, allowing the business to release Spelling material as well. By 1996, the home video unit was the only operational part of the then-renamed Republic Entertainment, Inc. after Spelling shuttered the theaterical division. | |||
In 1998, before Spelling's full purchase by Viacom, they shuttered the home video unit and instead signed a deal with [[Artisan Entertainment]] to release Republic's movies on home video and using the logo under license. | |||
Currently, Republic's assets are released on Home Media by [[Olive Films]], under license from [[Paramount Pictures]]. | |||

'''Nickname:''' "Outlines" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a blue/black gradient background, we see outlined versions of the text "NTA" zoom out, one-by-one, each outline coming in after a split-second. When all zoom out, a flash occurs, making the letters silver, and “HOME ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS” appears below. | |||
'''Trivia:''' The logo was later reused by National Telefilm Associates for their 1984 logo, with "presents" appearing under "NTA" after a freeze-frame technique removes "HOME ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS" or just "HOME ENTERTAINMENT". | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The outlines zooming out. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Variants''': | |||
*On the 1983 VHS of ''All-Star Cartoon Parade'', this logo, as well as the FBI Warning screen preceding it, have the 1968 [[Commonwealth United]] jingle playing over them. | |||
*On the 1983 VHS of ''Hoppity Goes to Town'', this logo, as well as the FBI Warning screen preceding it, plaster over the 5th NTA logo, leaving its music (and the start of the film's overture) to play over both. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen on older home media releases of Republic Pictures films and Paramount Cartoons. It recently appeared at the start of a Movies! airing of the film ''Riot in Cell Block 11''. Some 1986 reprints (using the original NTA clamshell cases) would have the Republic Pictures logo on the label and actual tape. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' Simple early '80s animation | |||
