Red Wagon Entertainment
Background
Red Wagon Entertainment is the production company of producer Douglas Wick. Red Wagon has produced the Stuart Little films, both Hollow Man movies, and The Craft: Legacy (a sequel to The Craft), among others. Despite being formed as early as 1999, the company didn't use a logo until 2003; before then, Red Wagon used in-credit notices (initially for Wick himself). In 2000, Wick expanded the company to bring in Lucy Fisher, his producing partner and wife.

Visuals: A flash occurs, and the camera pans out of a reflection on a red wagon, standing in grass fields with clouds moving above. The camera zooms out of a light blink on a board of a red hand-cart, which turns out to be a red wagon that stands on the grass fields with clouds moving above. The wagon encloses itself in a box on a black background as the following text fades in underneath:
