'''Trivia:''' On the 1996 | '''Trivia:''' On the 1996 LaserDisc audio commentary of ''The Mask'' (carried over to every DVD/Blu-ray release of the film), director Chuck Russell mentions the film was the debut of the 1994 prototype logo. However, theatrical prints of the film used the previous logo, and home media releases and television prints plaster it with the 1994 prototype variant. The film's first home video release was released on January 18, 1995, three months after the theatrical release of ''Wes Craven's New Nightmare,'' making the latter film the actual debut of the logo. It's possible, but currently not confirmed, that the logo was initially supposed to debut on theatrical prints of ''The Mask'' but wasn't ready yet by the time of the film's theatrical release. | ||
