Re-TV Video Library

Revision as of 06:32, 21 September 2023 by Camenati (talk | contribs) (Some things to note here: italicize movies and TV show titles, ordinals are not needed if this is their only logo, and please be descriptive with the actual logo instead of referring it to as just "the company's logo). I'll let the latter slide this time since it is not a big deal in this case.)


Background

Re-TV Video Library was a home entertainment company, owned by Columbia House. They mostly did videos for Warner Bros. Pictures, such as Looney Tunes. It is unknown what happened to the company.

(Late 1990s-Early 2000s?)


Logo: We start at the Re-TV Video Library logo, with a Columbia House byline. The arrows then spin towards us, then they overlap, showing lots of old shows (some of which being Gilligan's Island, M*A*S*H, and The Beverly Hillbillies). Across the screen, quotes from various shows slide across the screen. It then goes back to its normal state for a split second, then turning blue and fades in, just like before, showing more shows and quotes. Then, 4 triangles fade into 1, then another triangle appears, flipping back into the Re-TV logo. The whole logo then flips up, showing the title of the tape.

Variants:

  • At the end of the tapes, a telephone and a number for Re-TV appears.
  • A different ending appears on Looney Tunes tapes. The Re-TV title slide is replaced with "presents" and then a CGI version of the merchandising Looney Tunes logo appears, and then it shows the title.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A jazzy tune for the first part, and a western-like tune for the second. The jazz tune comes back when the finished logo appears.

Availability: So far, it is known to appear on Looney Tunes tapes, as well as others, including Wonder Woman.
