Vision Home Entertainment

Background

Vision Home Entertainment (also known as Vision Interprima Pictures) is one of the largest international home video distributors in Southeast Asia, founded in 1994. In 1995, Vision gained the license and became the official home video distributor of Warner Home Video (until 2012) and Buena Vista Home Entertainment (now Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment) (until 2017). In 2006, Vision gained the home video distribution rights to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment library, as well as 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment later in 2016. Vision also distributed a handful of Nickelodeon library alongside their own subsidiary Horizon Entertainment and Kidscreen Entertainment; the latter which was an Inova Digimedia company. Starting from 2016, Vision distributes materials from Fox/MGM. Beginning in September 1st, 2016, the company merged with music distributor company PT. E-Motion Entertainment. Vision didn't use any logo until 1998 on WB and MGM releases. In mid-2018, Vision, as well as all of it's subsidiaries and mergers, filed for bankruptcy and shut down, their very last release being Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom from Universal Pictures. Their official online store was closed in 2020.

(1998-2017)

Logo: We see a mountain island. The camera moves to the north while a light (more like a lens flare) moves around. After some seconds, we see the Vision Home Entertainment logo (without the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" text and I dots) zooming out. The tiny scribbles above the I's appear (one orange, one green), and when the mountains below are out of sight the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" text fades in. The red words "Quality Entertainment for Your Home" fade in below the logo. The background turns black and the red text glows.

Variant: On releases from PT. Vicidi Prima Indonesia (a merger between this and Cinekom), the logo is shortened (starts with the dings), preceded by a yellow text saying the latter company's name, over a black background.

Technique: Early CGI.

Music/Sounds: A synth drone accompanied by jet-like sounds, followed by two dings when the dots appear.

Availability: Very common, can be found in almost every Indonesian VCDs (and Simple DVDs) of Warner Bros. titles from 1998 to 2012, MGM from 1998 to 1999 and Universal from 2006 to 2017. It is ultra rare on Buena Vista/Walt Disney releases; however, it appeared on 1998 VCD releases of Another Stakeout and Toothless, as well as the 1999 VCD of 10 Things I Hate About You. The newest Fox/MGM releases from 2016 don't have the logo at all since the DVDs were all imported from other third region Asian countries while Vision didn't produce any VCDs of the respective companies' titles. The shortened version (with the Cinekom logo) is rare can be found on releases by Vicidi Prima such as Get Carter (the 2000 remake) and The Big Slice.
