Family Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Family Home Entertainment''' was a home video distribution company established by Noel C. Bloom in June 1981 to distribute family/kids releases. A year later, FHE launched a non-kids sub-division known as [[U.S.A. Home Video]], which would eventually evolve into [[Artisan Entertainment]]. Early releases were distributed by [[MGM/UA Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Video]] and in the late 1980s, FHE's releases were distributed by [[MCA Home Video|MCA]] (mostly in Canada). In 2003, [[Lionsgate Films|Lions Gate Films]] acquired and folded Artisan Entertainment and FHE became a sub-label before being rebranded as Lionsgate Family Entertainment in 2005.

*<u>At the end of some tapes</u>, a {{color|#FFA600|orange-yellow}} screen that reads "also AVAILABLE from" (in white) zooms in. After 3 seconds, the screen compresses downward just before the regular FHE logo appears.

*An version exists where it plays the normal "also AVAILABLE from" variant, but it <u>compresses downward halfway with the regular animation appearing like normal</u>, with the bottom half slightly chopped off by the "also AVAILABLE from" screen and a bit of a black line visible between them both. When the logo finishes and compresses downward away from the screen, the "also AVAILABLE from" screen zooms upwards instead of downwards from the screen.

'''Audio:''' A four-note synth tune (which was done on the Roland D-50 synthesizer by using the "Staccato Heaven" patch) is heard at the start. The letters each have a specific tune when they're painted:

'''Visuals:''' Against a black background, a {{color|green}} "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|green|'''F'''}}</span>" flips toward the screen, followed by a {{color|tomato|vermilion}} "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|tomato|'''H'''}}</span>" and a {{color|mediumpurple|lavender}} "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|mediumpurple|'''E'''}}</span>". A triangular {{color|tomato|vermilion}} "roof" lands on the "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|tomato|'''H'''}}</span>" shortly after. The words: "<span style="font-family: 'Times';letter-spacing:3px">FAMILY HOME</span> <span style="font-family: 'Times';letter-spacing:1px">ENTERTAINMENT</span>", which are written in white (and in the same font as the [[Artisan Entertainment]] logo), fade in below. At the same time, two white dots fade in between the letters "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|green|'''F'''}}{{color|tomato|'''Ĥ'''}}{{color|mediumpurple|'''E'''}}</span>". The words shine.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, the "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|green|'''F'''}}{{color|red|'''H'''}}{{color|darkviolet|'''E'''}}</span>" from before fly in from all angle, as two black dots fly in and appear between the letters. "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT</span>" fades in under the letters, and a {{color|red}} roof is then drawn above the "<span style="font-family: 'Times';">{{color|red|'''H'''}}</span>", making the whole thing look like the 4th logo.
