Not to be confused with Bolder Media.

Background

Boulder Media Limited (also known as simply Boulder Media) is an Irish animation studio that was founded in 2000 by Robert Cullen. It is best known for producing select episodes of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and season 1 of The Amazing World of Gumball for Cartoon Network (the latter being co-produced with Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe), as well as season 2 of Wander Over Yonder and the 2015 reboot of Danger Mouse. In July 2016, Boulder became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hasbro.

3rd Logo (September 24, 2021-)

Logo: On a violet background, we see a black line draws in from left to right. We then zoom forward, and after a bit of zooming, the line turns upward, revealing the 3D rendition of the Boulder Media logo (as seen on Danger Mouse). It then turns up, and zooms back a bit, as a mirror casts on the purple floor.

Variants:

There's a shortened variant.
On My Little Pony: A New Generation, a green tennis ball (Izzy Moonbow's object from the film) drops in from the right, bumps into the logo, and lands next to it.

FX/SFX: Good CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The drawing and the whoosh sound.

Music/Sounds Variants: On My Little Pony: A New Generation, we hear the opening theme of the film.

Availability: First seen on the Netflix original film My Little Pony: A New Generation. It was later seen on the company's 2021 showreel and Chapter Four: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures.

Editor's Note: None.
