St. Clare Entertainment

Background

This is John Landis, Robert K. Weiss, and Leslie Belzberg's production company.

(June 6, 1992-July 29, 2002)

Visuals: On a white background, we see three gorillas sitting together, who then cover parts of their face: the left one is covering the mouth, the middle one is covering its ears, and the right one is covering the eyes (obviously, this represents the famous monkey trio of "Speak no Evil", "Hear no Evil", and "See no Evil"). It then pans out upward, and "ST◆CLARE ENTERTAINMENT" in a stacked formation, appears above the gorillas, but is misaligned. Then the right gorilla raises his right hand to straighten the name, then covers its eyes again.

Variant: There is a longer variant where we see the right gorilla on the right, then the left gorilla comes in walking from the left, and then the middle gorilla comes in from the top of the screen hanging. Then, he sits down, proceeding into the logo described above.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Some jungle sounds in the background, then a "creak" sound as the right gorilla aligns the name. The longer version has the sounds of the gorillas grunting.

Audio Variant: On The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas, it's the finishing of the ending theme.

Availability: Has been seen on The Lost World, S3-6 of Dream On, Weird Science: The Series, Sliders, and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids: The TV Show. The first second is usually cut off; the complete version is only known to exist on Dream On. The longer variant was last seen on Here Come the Munsters. Also seen on the short-lived series Campus Cops.
