+'''Visuals:''' On a white background, there is a sun with a palm tree on the top right. On the left is the word "{{font|Arial Narrow|HAPPILY}}". In the center, there is the text "{{font|Arial Narrow|EVER AFTER}}". And below that is a line with the text "{{font|Arial Narrow|FILMS}}" to the right.
+'''Technique:''' A still, digital graphic.
-'''Nicknames:''' "The Kid and the Remote", "The Laughing Kid"
-'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a little kid laughing on a couch. He seems to be holding a remote. We zoom out and the text "Once Upon A Time" (with the "O" being larger than the rest) near the kid. He stops laughing and smiles. We fade to black in a "switch off" fashion as the kid points the remote at us.
-'''Variant:'''
-* An early version of the logo exists where the zoom out animation was different, but the animation is still the same. The "switch off" transition was also different.
-* Strangely, on the Disney+ print of ''The Ultimate Christmas Present,'' the first second of the logo repeats without sound before playing as normal, likely a sloppy editing tactic to remove an older [[Disney Channel Originals|Disney Channel]] logo.
-'''Technique:''' Everything in all great cartoon animation, designed by Tim Nihoff while he was at Corey McPherson Nash.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A piano tune with the kid laughing, ending with a buzz sound; however, CBS airings use their generic theme instead.
-'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on ''The Ultimate Christmas Present''. Was also seen on ''Wheels of Terror, Willie Nelson: The Big Six O, Angel of Death, Hostage for a Day, Quints, Gym Teacher: The Movie, Broken Trail'' and other TV-movies, which are hard to find. It also appeared on ''Survive the Night'', but it hasn't been broadcast in a while. Its most recent appearances were on the opening of ''Prayers for Bobby,'' which is available on streaming services & on DVD, and ''On Strike for Christmas''. After the latter film, this logo hasn't appeared on Brooks' other works, instead having the Stan & Deliver logo.
+'''Audio''' The end theme of the movie.
-'''Legacy:''' A very lighthearted logo. This logo is a notable long-runner, having been in use as later as 2010.
+'''Availability:''' Seen on ''The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother's Hunt for Justice'' and ''Cruel Instruction''.
