===Background===
|
Paramount Animation is the feature animation division of American film studio Paramount Pictures. It was founded in 2011 after the box office success of Nickelodeon Movies' CGI film Rango and in the wake of the studio's split with DreamWorks Animation in 2012. Its first film, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, was released in 2015, with its latest release being Rumble. Upcoming films from the division include Under the Boardwalk (initially titled Jersey Crabs), and many others.
Note: Until 2019, only the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo was played before all of its films. However, in 2019, Paramount Animation unveiled an onscreen logo of its own, which will appear on all of its films starting with The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.
Nicknames: "Star Skipper", "Animated Mountain", "Perumount Animation", "2010s/2020s Toon Mountain", "Animated Mount Paramount"
Logo: In a valley with a forest and a mountain in the distance, we see a young girl wearing a yellow shirt and purple pants, named Star Skipper (who surprisingly bears a striking resemblance to June from Wonder Park), standing on some rocks next to the valley's lake. She skips a rock across the lake. As the camera follows the rock, it transforms into a golden star. It continues to fly through the forest and up the hills, until we reach a colorful version of the famous Paramount Mountain in an orange morning environment surrounded by clouds. The other 21 stars, also in gold, encircle the mountain and the "Paramount" script in blue zooms out and takes its position. The final star thrown by the girl swoops by forming the word "Animation" in a handwritten blue script font on the bottom as the star takes its place. The byline fades in below.
Alternate Descriptive Video Transcription: A girl skips a stone across a blue lake in front of a pyramid like mountain with a snow covered peak. The stone becomes a star and it zooms up the wooded slope of a mountain. It turns into a row of stars which form an arch over the mountain: Paramount Animation.
Trivia: The logo and Star Skipper were designed by Christopher Zibach, who worked on DreamWorks' Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie as a lead visual development artist and art director. According to president Mireille Soria, the studio chose Star Skipper as their mascot because she "captured the magic" of the division. His work can be shown here.
Byline(s):
Variants:
FX/SFX: Excellent CGI animation from Reel FX and ATK PLN.
Music/Sounds: We hear birds chirping and nature sounds, followed by water sounds, and some whooshes. Sparkling sounds are heard when the stone transforms into a star and when "Animation" appears. The 2011 Paramount Pictures fanfare by Michael Giacchino plays throughout.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Current. It first debuted on an article published by Variety.
Editor's Note: A fantastic logo that pays homage to the old Paramount Cartoons logo. However, the blue color used on the Viacom byline version and the blue ViacomCBS byline version on Paramount Animation's website is too dark and is hard to see. Just like the Paramount Pictures logo, the ViacomCBS Raisonné byline is known to be wasted as the byline only appeared on trailers and promotional media; the Gotham byline appeared on the actual films.
