Miramax Family Films (also known as "Miramax Family") was the family production/distribution arm of Miramax Films established in 1991 to produce movies for a kids and family audience. It was closed in late 2006.
Nicknames: "The Banner of Boredom", "The Family Banner of Boredom"
Logo: Just a still version of the Miramax Films logo on a black background, with "FAMILY" next to "FILMS".
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the trailer.
Availability: Rare. Can be seen on trailers for films such as The NeverEnding Story III: Escape from Fantasia, and Gordy.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "The M", "The Big M", "The Flashing M", "Miramax M", "Blue M"
Logo: Same as the 1987 movie logo, only it's in perfect tempo, the outlined "M" isn't flashing everywhere, and "MIRAMAX" is in a more yellowish tint. "FAMILY" is added next to "FILMS", which is now on the right side.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Same as the 1987 movie logo.
Music/Sounds: Due to it only appearing on three films, the music is different each time.
Availability: Extremely rare, due to plastering with any of the standard Miramax logos and the 2011 one.
Editor's Note: Because the logo appeared on only three films, there wasn't a variation where the Family Films logo faded out early.
Nickname: "One Crazy Dot"
Logo: On a white background, we see a small cyan dot on the lower right side of the screen. The Miramax Films print logo, in black, fades in. Suddenly, the dot jumps up, turns itself into a bell for some reason, and rings itself. Then the bell turns back into the dot, speeds towards the logo and pushes the "I", squishing the two lines together. All of a sudden, the above line springs up so high and quickly that it hits "MIRAMAX", breaking the letters apart and sending them (and the dot) high off screen. The above bar rests in its usual position, with "FILMS" completely gone. "MIRAMAX" drops back in a completely different, blocky font colored in the same color as the ball, hitting the lines and changing the color to yellow. The multicolored text "FAMILY" fades in one letter at a time. The dot returns and lands on the "i", making it lowercase. The logo shines.
FX/SFX: CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: Various stock sound effects. The whoosh, bell ringing and car zooming for the dot, a "BOING!" and a car crash when the "MIRAMAX" text goes bye-bye, a louder "BOING!" when the different "MIRAMAX" text drops in, a harp when "FAMILY" fades in, a "PLUMP!" when the dot dots the "I", and party noise makers when the logo shines.
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: This logo is a bit amusing, but it can be annoying for fans of older logos.
