Background

Sooty Limited, also known as Bridgefilms, was a joint-venture between Sooty International Limited (Global Rights Development Fund, subsidiary of the Bank of Yokohama) and Gullane Entertainment/HIT Entertainment that held all intellectual property rights in relation to the Sooty and Magic Adventures of Mumfie franchises.

In October 2007, following many failed attempts at producing a new Sooty series for ITV, HIT Entertainment put the company up for sale. Britt Allcroft re-acquired Mumfie in March 2008, while Richard Cadell acquired the Sooty property under his company Cadells Limited in June 2008, ending the guise of Sooty Limited for how it was.



1st Logo (November 5, 2001-2004)

Visuals: On a furry pink background, the Sooty brand logo (the fluffy-looking text "Sooty" in yellow with a red outline) is seen at the top of the screen, and below is the jumbled text "Limited Production For" in a yellow Comic Sans font with a blue outline, and the 2001-2006 Granada Kids logo is seen at the bottom of the screen. On the sides of the screen are Sooty and Sweep on the left and right sides of the screen respectively, with Sooty holding his signature magic wand at Sweep.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: Just the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on some episodes of Sooty (2001).

2nd Logo (2002-2004)

Visuals: On a light purple background patterned with trumpets, splatters, and pies, the same Sooty logo from before is seen at the upper middle of the screen. Above it is "A" and below it is "LIMITED PRODUCTION FOR" along with the Granada logo at the time below. All of the text is in a yellow Comic Sans font like before, but with a red outline.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Sooty (2001), starting around late 2001 or early 2002.
