Background
This is Stanley M. Brooks' production company and vanity card. It was founded in 1989, but no logo was used until the following year.
(July 11, 1990-)
Nicknames: "The Kid and the Remote", "The Laughing Kid"
Logo: On a white background, we see a little kid laughing on a couch. He seems to be holding a remote. We zoom out and the text "Once Upon A Time" (with the "O" being larger than the rest) near the kid. He stops laughing and smiles. We fade to black in a "switch off" fashion as the kid points the remote at us.
Variant:
- An early version of the logo exists where the zoom out animation was different, but the animation is still the same. The "switch off" transition was also different.
- Strangely, on the Disney+ print of The Ultimate Christmas Present, the first second of the logo repeats without sound before playing as normal, likely a sloppy editing tactic to remove an older Disney Channel logo.
FX/SFX: Everything in all great cartoon animation, designed by Tim Nihoff while he was at Corey McPherson Nash.
Music/Sounds: A piano tune with the kid laughing, ending with a buzz sound; however, CBS airings use their generic theme instead.
Availability: Rare. Seen on The Ultimate Christmas Present. Was also seen on Wheels of Terror, Willie Nelson: The Big Six O, Angel of Death, Hostage for a Day, Quints, Gym Teacher: The Movie, Broken Trail and other TV-movies, which are hard to find. It also appeared on Survive the Night, but it hasn't been broadcast in a while. The recent appearance was spotted on the opening of Prayers for Bobby, which is available on streaming services & on DVD.
Editor's Note: A very lighthearted logo. This logo is a notable long-runner, having been in use for more than 32 years.
