Background
As part of Seagram's buyout of MCA in 1995, the latter company's president Sidney Sheinberg, along with his sons Jon and Bill, started a Seagram-financed production company called The Bubble Factory with its first release being Flipper in 1996. Two years later, the company was severed from its parent company Universal Pictures (now a division of NBCUniversal) in the wake of a string of box-office failures. The company now releases films very sporadically.
(May 17, 1996-February 23, 2018)
Logo: On a blue sky background, we see a picture of a large quirky-looking building with a pipe sticking out of the roof, sitting on a grass plain. Behind the building is a large yellow circle, which has the words:
THE
BUBBLE
FACTORY
in dark red with a white outline, and with the "B", "E", "F", and "Y" larger than the rest of the letters. Bubbles flow out of the factory pipe and crowd the screen.
Variants:
- On 4:3 full-screen prints of films, the logo is choppier, and sometimes in open matte.
- At the end of Slappy and the Stinkers, the print logo is seen on a black background.
Technique: 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: An lighthearted horn-and-chime theme composed by Marc Shaiman and John Bisharat, accompanied by faint bubbling sounds.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- In rare cases, the opening theme of the movie is heard.
- On A Simple Wish, a softer, more lush arrangement of the theme is heard.
- On That Old Feeling, we hear a jazzy rendition of the jingle.
Availability: Seen on films from the company such as Flipper (the first movie with this logo), The Pest, A Simple Wish, McHale's Navy, For Richer or Poorer, Made in Brooklyn, Creature, and What Lola Wants.
