Universal Cartoon Studios is the animation production arm of Universal Studios established in 1990 as a division of Universal Family Entertainment. In 2005, it was renamed to Universal Animation Studios.
Visuals: The 1990-1997 Universal Pictures logo proceeds as normal, but without "UNIVERSAL" coming from behind and circling the globe. While the globe zooms out and moves into its center position, a cartoon version of the biplane from the 1920s Universal logo (which is a yellow-orange biplane with a red face and light blue wheels; nicknamed Jetty), appears from behind the globe and flies around it and turning through with his tongue sticking out. He leaves a trail of smoke, which turns into "UNIVERSAL", in its similar corporate font from the 1990-1997 Universal Pictures logo with its gradient texture on it and is stretched up vertically (with the "R" backwards, reading "UNIVEЯSAL"). Then, Jetty enters the bottom of the globe and flies through it, but doesn't turn this time, leaving another trail of smoke, which also turns into "CARTOON STUDIOS" in rainbow colors and in a Mickey Mouse-like font (named Ashley Crawford). As the globe and the words are in position, Jetty comes into the middle of the globe and shockingly stops. Then, he takes a few steps back and realizes the "R" in "UNIVERSAL" is backwards, and giggles for a bit, and flips it around, causing it to spin briefly and making it in the correct way. Then, he floats and looks at the audience and happily looks at the "R" before he floats down, then he looks at the viewer(s) again.
Trivia: The print artwork logo (seen on Opus 'n Bill in A Wish for Wings That Work and on covers of VHS and DVD releases) was designed and illustrated by Eric Semones and the animation of Jetty and the company's name (used over the footage of the globe from the 1990 Universal Pictures logo) were done by Spaff Animation Incorporated. The part where Jetty flies through the globe making the trail of smoke, which turns into the words, is a throwback to the 1923 and 1927 Universal Pictures logos.
Variants:
Technique: Live-action model work mixed with traditional animation.
Audio: A classic orchestrated-type, whimsical fanfare which sounds almost similar to the main title theme from E.T. that later takes a comical tone when Jetty appears. This was first used in December 1994 with the release of The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure.
Audio Trivia: The logo music was composed in F major by Michael Tavera, who also composed the music for direct-to-video sequels to The Land Before Time. An arranged excerpt version of the logo music was also used in the Kids' WB! series ¡Mucha Lucha! episode "All Creatures Masked and Small", where Rikochet (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) explains the truth about fleas. Coincidentally, the first two seasons of ¡Mucha Lucha! featured music made by Michael Tavera; Tavera had also created music for shows like Time Squad and The Secret Saturdays on Cartoon Network, as well as various Disney cartoons, such as House of Mouse, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, The Emperor's New School, and Yin Yang Yo!.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Seen on sequels of The Land Before Time franchise starting with The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure and ending with The Land Before Time XI: The Invasion of the Tinysauruses.
Visuals: Same as the 1997 Universal Television logo, but the name reads as "UNIVERSAL CARTOON STUDIOS" as it fades in under the logo.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by Picturemill.
Audio: Same as the 1997 Universal Television logo, based on the Universal Pictures fanfare by Jerry Goldsmith.
Audio Variant: On the Fractured Fairy Tales short "The Phox, The Box, and the Lox", the logo is silent.
Availability: Seen on The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock, An American Tail - Treasure of Manhattan Island, and Hercules and Xena - The Battle For Mount Olympus (although the print version of the previous logo was on the cover art, except for the DVD release of An American Tail - Treasure of Manhattan Island).
Visuals: The first element shown is a more animated version of the "UNIVERSAL" text revolving around the earth as it appears from the blackness to view from the left side (unlike the right side in the movie counterpart's logo), causing the globe to shine and the glow to appear behind it. The text shines once while it revolves. However, it continues to revolve after the fanfare is over, and the globe and the text gets squeezed so tight that the glow behind the globe disappears and the "UNIVERSAL" text spins around the earth at a fast pace. When it stops spinning, the globe is colored even more vividly and the "UNIVERSAL" text is now white with an orange border. Then, "ANIMATION STUDIOS", in orange, appears traveling from behind the globe letter-by-letter, making a stop under the logo. Then, a comet comes from the top-right side and travels around the earth, causing the glow to appear again behind the globe. The globe shines.
Variants:
Technique: CGI produced by Riverstreet Productions and animated by Blur Studio.
Audio: At the start, it has the last part of the 1997 Universal Pictures logo theme by Jerry Goldsmith, then some squeezing sounds and whooshes as the globe spins around. When the globe becomes animated, there is a muted trumpet note, four synth notes (each with a "wah" effect), and a majestic bell tune with a big whoosh noise as the comet flies by that ends with a choir. It was composed by Gregory Smith and Made Music Studio.
Audio Variants:
Availability: It first appeared at the end of Curious George (the 2006 film) and also appears on its direct-to-video/streaming sequels - Follow that Monkey!, Back to the Jungle, Royal Monkey, Go West, Go Wild and Cape Ahoy.
