Background

Based in Madrid and established around 1981, Araba Films was a production and distribution company from Spain. Their most remarkable production was Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate (co-produced with Canal+ and other European companies). Other than that, it distributed films from small production companies. In 2007, American film company Media 8 Entertainment acquired Araba Films, along with fellow distributor Lauren Films[1]; the two companies subsequently stopped producing and distributing films, and instead focused on their cinema theater businesses until they became dormant in the mid-2010s.

Logo (Early 1990s-2007)


Visuals: On a white background, a pencil drawing of a grass field fades in and starts shrinking and moving (in delayed motion) towards the center of the screen, revealing what seems to be a drawing of a conker tree.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: The start of Tchaikovsky's "June: Barcarolle" from "The Seasons, Op. 37a" is heard.
