Peter Pan Video

Background

Peter Pan Video was a sub-label of Peter Pan Industries (itself a subsidiary of children's music label Peter Pan Records), formed in 1992 to release children's material on VHS (and later DVD). It operated until 2006 when it was merged into PPI Entertainment, which was then absorbed into Inspired Corporation alongside Peter Pan Records, though the sub-label wasn't retired altogether until the following year.

1st Logo (1992-1999)

Visuals: After the preceding PPI Entertainment Group logo is formed, the coin flips around and reveals the silver words "PETER PAN" in a "storybook" font on the navy blue coin. The words shift to the bottom of the coin, and its space is filled in with an animated silhouette of Peter Pan (which looks similar to the 1953 Disney version) sitting cross-legged and with his hands on his knees. The silhouette opens its arms wide as a shower of colorful stars cascades over the logo, turning the words "PETER PAN" green. A (TM) sign fades in soon afterward.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as the Parade Video logo, with chimes heard when the shower of stars cascades over the logo.

Availability: Seen on kids' videotapes such as The Human Race Club, TM Books, Big Trains and Toy Trains, More Big Trains and Toy Trains, and the Growing Up Well series.

2nd Logo (April 26, 2005-2007?)

Visuals: On a green swirling background, the Peter Pan Records logo, which is a childish rendition of Peter Pan's head, zooms forward while quickly spinning. It stops spinning, bulging out from the face a bit, before zooming back and circular rays appear behind the logo, as a quill flies in from the left and sticks itself into Peter Pan's hat, tilting the logo slightly. The cursive text "Peter Pan" wipes in via orange rays, and the logo winks twice.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The second half of the previous logo's music.

Availability: Seen on the 2006 DVD of The Little Cars in the Great Race and some prints of Ratatoing. It also appears on the box art of St Bear's Dolls Hospital DVDs from them, but its unknown if it appeared on the actual discs themselves.
