Background

Founded in early 1991, Turner Feature Animation was Turner Entertainment's theatrical animation division headed by David Kirschner and Paul Gertz. Spun off from the feature film division of Hanna-Barbera Productions, the studio produced only two films: The Pagemaster and Cats Don't Dance. When Turner and Time Warner merged in 1996, Turner Feature Animation was absorbed into Warner Bros. Feature Animation.

Visuals: On a light blue curtain background, we see the print logo for Turner Pictures that was used during this time, except "PICTURES" is replaced by "FEATURE", with "ANIMATION" below "TURNER FEATURE".

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability:

• Only seen on the trailer for Cats Don't Dance.
• The alternate logo can be seen on the wrap party tape for the aforementioned film.
• This was the animation division's official logo, but a special title card was shown at the beginning of Cats Don't Dance instead (see the second logo).

2nd Logo (March 26, 1997)

• 

Visuals: On a black background, we see an orange basketball, and a red/blue airplane. There's a white blimp on the basketball and the airplane makes blue marks that resemble drops of water. Over the basketball is the words "TURNER FEATURE ANIMATION" in an Art Deco font, and underneath the logo is the word "PRESENTS" on a red ribbon. The word "ANIMATION" is on a green bar.

Technique: None.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.
