Sun-Maid

Bumper (2007-2010)

Visuals: Earth appears in space, and the camera quickly zooms straight into California. It keeps on zooming down until it reaches a large grape vineyard next to a farm, where a woman in a white dress and a red bonnet (the Sun-Maid girl, now in animated form) is shown walking and picking batches of green grapes from the vines. The view fades to a shot of a bunch of green grapes, which spin around on an orange-yellow gradient background. It then fades to a red background where the Sun-Maid logo is shown, alongside the yellow text "Grapes & Sunshine" outlined in green, and then the Sun-Maid website URL below it.

Trivia: This bumper uses footage from a Sun-Maid commercial that aired from March 2006 to around 2010 or 2011.

Technique: CGI by Synthespian Studios.

Audio: Calm guitar music as a female voiceover states "Do you know what? Sunlight travels 93 million miles to ripen and dry the fruits we need to grow strong and healthy bodies. I thought you'd be curious about that. Sun-Maid proudly supports PBS Kids."

Availability: Seen on broadcasts of Curious George from the time. This can also be seen on DVD releases of the show, starting with Plays in the Snow to Back to School.
