Background

Treehouse TV was launched in 1994 as a YTV's morning block. It would later become a full-time 24-hour children's programming network three years later. It usually airs the variety of programs from Nick Jr. It also airs original programming.

1st ID (1997-2005)

Logo Variants:

• Blooming:
• Shrinking:
• Osbert Plunky's House:
• Losing Houses:

FX/SFX: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Various sound effects, accompanied by a cheerful tune. All of the idents feature a chorus of children singing "You're watching Treehouse!" at the end.

2nd ID (1998-2013)

Logo Variants:

• Playtime: A village (Treetown in question) is shown with various CGI objects and live-action children. A dragonfly transitions the scene to the Treehouse logo and model seen in the 1997 Blooming and Shrinking idents.
• Clock Tower & Bird: The clock seen in the 1997 Losing Houses ident appears. A CGI bird flies from it into the sky. Various copies are temporarily shown with the main one, until we transition to the Treehouse logo and model in the window.
• Bug to Window: A CGI ladybug, after making a close-up on the camera, is spotted by three children. We then transition back to the window with the Treehouse logo and model.
• Hula Hoop & Bubbles: Two children spin around with hula hoops above their heads with bubbles on display, making a CGI fish go through one of the hoops. We then transition to the Treehouse logo and model in the window.

FX/SFX: A mix of live-action and CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: All of the idents feature a shortened version of the last logos theme. The version in question was originally taken from the Blooming ident from 1997, while other variants had different versions of the theme.
