Happily Ever After Films

(July 11, 1990-)

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" is 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:

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 logo.

FX/SFX: 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, CBS airings use their generic theme instead.

Availability: Rare. Seen on The Ultimate Christmas Present. Was also seen on Wheels of Terror 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. The recent appearance was spotted on the opening of Prayers for Bobby.
