Background

Family Home Entertainment Kids was a specialty brand of Family Home Entertainment for kids-only releases on video. It was absorbed into its namesake in 2005 shortly before its rebranding as Lionsgate Family Entertainment.

1st Logo (prototype logo) (1998-2000)


Visuals: On a black background is a crudely drawn doghouse. Then, a white square forms inside the doghouse as a head of a dog zooms out. and the "f.h.e." initials in its familiar font introduced in 1984 (colored green, red, and blue respectively) write themselves in. The dog's moves a bit as a red speech bubble with "kids" in it appears with a white outline, and the words "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" fade in. The dog's tongue moves up and down.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: This was a prototype logo and is only seen on very early releases from this label, notably on Kipper: The Visitor and Other Stories.

  • However, it is also preserved intact at the end of Mowgli's Brothers (1976) on Lionsgate's streaming service, Vidmark, which is only available as an app on Roku.

2nd Logo (1999-2005)


Visuals: There is the same crudely drawn doghouse as before, this time on a white background. The same dog starts walking on the right side of the doghouse, sniffing the ground. The dog then walks in the doghouse. As this happens, the "f.h.e." initials and "FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in Trajan fade in. The dog then peeks out with a bone in his mouth and barks (dropping his bone on the "h", of which it bounces off, in the process), then a red speech bubble with a black outline and "kids" on it appears next to the dog. The dog looks down and watches his bone fall to the ground. The dog blinks a bit.

Byline: From 2000 until 2004, the byline "AN ARTISAN ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in below the logo.

Technique: Digital ink-and-paint animation.

Audio: A pizzicato string violin/bass/bassoon tune, followed by four flute notes, a piano and bass note, the dog's bark and a thoomp sound, four more flute notes, and another pizzicato/bass/bassoon note.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the logo is silent, with or without the bark and the thoomp sound.

Availability: Seen on VHS releases by the company from the time-period until 2005.

  • Such examples of releases that contain this logo include early Baby Einstein VHS releases (before Disney purchased the brand), season 1 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) on VHS, as well as the TV special The Tangerine Bear (including Netflix and Cartoon Network prints).
  • It can also be found on several Hallmark Home Entertainment U.S. VHS releases, along with Crayola-sponsored ones.
  • It is also seen on several pre-2005 Clifford the Big Red Dog and Care Bears releases from Artisan/Lionsgate.
  • This logo is also retained on some of the DVD releases from the Care Bears: The Original Series Collection set which was released in 2012, as they are reissues of previous releases.
  • It is also seen on earlier releases of Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.
  • Later VHS prints of Barbie in The Nutcracker have this logo on the box, but the normal FHE logo on the label and the tape contents itself.
  • It is also seen at the start of the 2002 UK VHS release of The Tangerine Bear: Home in Time for Christmas from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
