Warner Bros. Family Entertainment was the family production arm of Warner Bros. Entertainment that was established in 1992 under Time Warner Entertainment a year after its overseas distribution deal with Buena Vista International, in which Warner distributed Disney and Touchstone films in overseas territories, expired. It handled kids & family-oriented movies and TV shows, mostly animated, along with some live-action releases. However, after a string of box-office flops, the company made WBFE a direct-to-video/DVD and kids-oriented TV show-only label, and started using their normal unit for theatrical releases, starting with My Dog Skip. They still distributed films in international territories, mostly Germany; their last theatrical release was 2009's Laura's Star and the Mysterious Dragon Nian. Afterwards, family-oriented productions were moved back to the normal Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Bros. Animation names (and later, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation), whereas direct-to-video productions moved to Warner Premiere (and later, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment).
Visuals: The WB shield is, as usual, posed against the sky, but this time with the banner reading "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT". The byline "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in under the logo as Bugs Bunny (in a tuxedo) steps to the left from under the shield, does a Vanna White-like pose, and puts his hand on the banner. The banner shines, and Bugs keeps his hand on it as he leans, brandishes a carrot and takes a bite on it.
Variants:
Technique: Traditional animation by Bill Waldman at Warner Bros. Classic Animation.
Audio: A symphonic, majestic arrangement of "Merrily We Roll Along" by Richard Stone plus the sound of Bugs chomping on his carrot. On the alternate variant, a fishing reel sound (with soft whooshing sounds) is heard when Bugs spins the banner.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: Nearly the same as the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, the only differences are that the shield banner reads "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT" instead and Bugs steps to the left from under the shield, doing the same pose and animation from the previous logo. The Warner byline fades in below.
Bylines:
Variants:
Technique: CGI with traditional animation from the previous logo. Like the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, this was done at Intralink Film Graphic Design.
Audio: Same as the previous logo, but now it's preceded by the beginning half of the original 75th Anniversary WB wind chimes fanfare. The abridged logo uses the Animaniacs version of the short music from the previous logo.
