Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' We see the classic Rankin-Bass logo, except made completely three-dimensional, with the text in {{Color|royalblue|royal blue}} and in the corporate font of then-current parent company Telepictures. A white line forms under the logo, and that line "springs" into a cursive "Animated Entertainment". Then, the "RB" zooms up, and the shapes slide apart as they come closer to the screen, revealing a white "from". As the "O" overtakes the screen, we see the animation of either Telepictures (1985-86) or Lorimar-Telepictures (1986-89), which eventually fills the entire screen.

*A shortened version exists that ends after the company name forming. This was due to the 1984 WBTD logo plastering the Telepictures logo. This was spotted on a later Russian print of the ''ThunderCats'' S1 episode "Return to Thundera".

*Another shortened version exists in which the logo fades out just as the "RB" begins to zoom up. This was due to the 2003 WBTVD logo plastering the Telepictures logo. This was spotted on AMC's prints of the special ''The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus''.

*On their last production before they closed, ''Santa, Baby!'', the logo is much smaller and flatter, flipped around vertically at the beginning of the logo, and has the line animation play out much slower. It also doesn't follow up with the transition animation.

*A low tone variant exists.

*On a post-1989 Russian print of ''ThunderCats'' S1 episode "Return to Thundera", the logo is silent.
