===Background===
'''Animation Magic''' ('''Магия анимации''' in Russian) was a Russian-American animation studio/video game developer founded in 1991 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Saint Petersburg, Russia. Managed by Igor Razboff and Dale DeSharone, the studio primarily created cutscene animations and level designs for DOS and CD-based software, most (in)famously the Philips CD-i and its [[Nintendo]] license-based games. In 1997, Animation Magic was acquired by [[Davidson & Associates]], which was boughtmerged bywith CUC[[Knowledge (Cendant) SoftwareAdventure]] a year later and then by Havas that same year. Around this time, Razboff and DeSharone left the studio to form [[Boston Animation]]. In 2001, [[Vivendi Games|Vivendi Universal]] (owner of HavasKnowledge Adventure) closed Animation Magic.

Then the left lightning bolt strikes the name again, coloring it to a {{color|blue}}/{{color|cyan}} gradient and gaining a white outline. After that, a flash of light below it forms "PRODUCTION" in a futuristic font.
