Background

Calico Entertainment was a subsidiary of World Events Productions. The company was best known for co-producing Denver, the Last Dinosaur and Vytor: The Starfire Champion with WEP. The company went dormant in 1993 after the failed pilot for a Bubsy cartoon, but was revived in 1997 to produce the VHS This Land is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie, the TV movie Bad Baby, and The New Adventures of Zorro. In 1998, after The New Adventures of Zorro was cancelled, WEP officially retired Calico Entertainment.

2nd Logo (September 29, 1990-April 6, 1997)

Visuals: On a {color|darkgreen|dark green}} marble-esque surface, a curve thickens to form a "C" while the screen zooms out, revealing that the surface is actually a square being split in half, forming the Calico logo (a concave rectangle and a curved semi-circle-like figure) on a cream background. While this happens, the dark gray text "CALICO" (in a condensed font) can be seen below the Calico logo. As the camera finishes zooming, the word "ENTERTAINMENT" fades below "CALICO". During the zoom out, the shadows cast by the logo and the words is seen moving from the left-top to the right-bottom.

Variants:

• On the failed Bubsy pilot, a copyright notice appears below.
• On This Land is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie, an in-credit variant is seen. On top of the Calico Entertainment logo is "Animation by", and below it is the address "9340 Eton Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311".
• On Bad Baby, a still version is seen. The logo is dark blue and the background is pink.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The end theme from the show or movie. The Bubsy pilot episode had a 5-note sounder.

Availability: Preserved on shows like Mr. Bogus and Widget. Also seen on the failed animated pilot for Bubsy, This Land is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie, and Bad Baby.
