'''Hearst Entertainment''' | On April 14, 1990, as part of a corporate restructuring, the Hearst Corporation decided to rename the [[King Features Entertainment]] company as '''Hearst Entertainment''', or '''Hearst Entertainment Distribution''', while the [[King Phoenix Entertainment]] company, which Hearst had acquired in 1989, was renamed to '''Hearst Entertainment Productions'''. The company stopped making telemovies around the early 2000s. The company broke up in 2015 when Hearst decided to sell its live-action library to [[Lionsgate Films|Lionsgate]], while [[King Features Syndicate (2004-present)|King Features Syndicate]] acquired the animation library. | ||

*The word "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Entertainment'''''}}}}" is sometimes replaced with "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Broadcasting'''''}}}}". The eagle logo is smaller, but the name is bigger than usual. The animation is also different; the finished eagle logo appears and zooms in to its spot, while the text "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH" fades in above the logo and the name "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Hearst Broadcasting'''''}}}}" comes from below and slides up to its place below the eagle. The background is more of a lit, slanted double gradient background. | *The word "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Entertainment'''''}}}}" is sometimes replaced with "{{color|blue|{{Font|serif|'''''Broadcasting'''''}}}}".

'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the closing theme of the show, but, on some King Features distributed films, thanks to sloppy editing, the 1981 [[King Features Entertainment]] "Crown Trail" music plays over this logo, and the animation plays much slower and choppier in a poor attempt to make the music blend in better. | '''Music/Sounds:''' None or the closing theme of the show, but, on some King Features distributed films, thanks to sloppy editing, the 1981 [[King Features Entertainment]] "Crown Trail" music plays over this logo, and the animation plays much slower and choppier in a poor attempt to make the music blend in better.
