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: A bannerless WB shield is shown, as usual, posed against the sky. Then Bugs Bunny (in a tuxedo) leans over the shield, puts a hoop-like, wordless banner around it, and spins it around as the byline "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in under the logo. Then Bugs steps to the left from under the shield, does a Vanna White-like pose, and puts his hand on the banner as it stops to reveal the words "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT". Bugs keeps his hand on it as he leans, brandishes a carrot and takes a bite on it as the banner shines.
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. Originally, a fishing reel sound (with soft whooshing sounds) can be heard when Bugs spins the banner.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Seen on productions from this company up until 2001. During its final years, it would be used in tandem with the next logo.
Visuals: Nearly the same as the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo, the only differences are that the shield banner now 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 respective 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.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Seen on releases from this time-period until 2009.
