Dream logos

This is my sandbox, aka where all of my Dream Logos go. As I said on my main page, I have been thinking up stuff to add to the gargantuan library of movies, shows, and music all owned by the multi-trillion dollar conglomerate and movie studio, Robun Entertainment. Robun Entertainment, just to give you a sneak peek, was founded in 1909 by allied filmmaker Clifford "Cliff" Chandler Robun, and his sons Austin Robun-Viltfeld and Sam Robun-Penton to form "Robun Brothers, Incorporated" after the former established an uncharted studio on Sidney Blvd. in Chicago, IL. on February 16, 1905 and was renamed to Rocket Bunny Entertainment in 1979. It would eventually thrive to become one of the largest movie studios in the United States (and internationally) and is one of the "Big Seven" studios, along with 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox from 1935 to 2020, and would revert back to the original name after one of the companies' closures in 2023), Paramount Pictures, Sony Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures (before it was closed down by this company in late 2023). In 2024, the company and its subsidiaries were rebranded to Robun Entertainment.

Some things to know about my logos:

  • I am not an expert at drawing logos on software, so this page will be imageless (even if it looks really interesting from your perspective). I don't want to make messes on MS Paint, PowerPoint, or any form of drawing software so that they will not come out looking hideous.
  • This company and the proceeding ones are most definitely not real. It is entirely made up and stored in my brain for over 3 years, and I've been waiting a long time to express the logos' looks on this wiki (I got the idea from a ripoff CLG Wiki, entitled Your Dream Logos with different page parts). Think of Marvel's What If.. but with dream logos instead of superheroes (sorry about the plagiarization, AlmightyKingPrawn). I think of this as part of an alternate Earth in my brain.
  • Due to me being completely used to the term "Editor's Note", I will say that instead of "Legacy".
  • I will put "Author's Note" underneath "Editor's Note" at times to show my thinking behind the logo and how I thought up the idea of it.
  • I'm not the best at coming up with original phrases, so you might read some phrases explaining logos that sound kind of familiar (if you revert back to other pages).
  • One more time. This is all fake. Do not ever place it on the wiki or make a page dedicated to dream logos. I want to stick with AVID's rules as much as I can.

Robun Entertainment

Background

Robun Entertainment (formerly known as Robun Brothers Pictures from 1909 to 1979 and Rocket Bunny Entertainment from 1979 to 2024)'s origins trace way back to February 16, 1905, when an allied filmmaker Clifford "Cliff" Chandler Robun established an uncharted studio on Sidney Blvd. in Chicago, IL. He partnered with his sons Austin Robun-Viltfeld and Samuel Robun-Penton to form "Robun Brothers, Incorporated" on September 7, 1909, making it the oldest American movie company in continuous operation, before the founding of Paramount Pictures (founded on May 8, 1912, as Famous Players Film Corporation), Universal Pictures (founded on June 8, 1912), and Warner Bros. Pictures (founded in 1918 as Warner Bros' Pictures Incorporated). Despite being non-independent after June 17, 2005, the company is an addition to the "Big Seven" studios, alongside 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox, with it reverting back to its original name after the shutdown of its owner in 2023), Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures (before they were closed by this company in late 2023).

After Xavier Robun, a newborn at the time of founding became 23, he joined the studio. When Cliff Chandler passed away in December 1951, the same year the company moved operations from Chicago to Hollywood, the sons took over the company independently overseeing the releases of films such as The Curse of the Devil's Roar, The Happiest Bunches, Wild Rose, Stars of a Thief, Art of the Trickster, and Ships of the Forgotten. Then, Austin died from a stroke in early 1979, shortly after the release of the critically-acclaimed Vinny Dreams, and the renaming to Rocket Bunny Entertainment (from a well-known character from its anomation studio's earliest release, Thoughts (1929). After Sam finally passed away from heart cancer in 1986, Xavier struggled to keep his films in good condition, as many box office failures from this era were making him lose control of the studio. Many executives from Universal, Paramount, Columbia, and 20th Century Fox left their respective jobs at the studios and offered to continue work on films with him.

During its time remaining independent for 96 years, Rocket Bunny Entertainment was subject to numerous distributions of films over time, such as films from 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Miramax Films, MGM, New Line Cinema, and Universal Pictures. After the overwhelming critical and commercial successes of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy (20th Century Fox, 1999), 20th Century Fox eventually acquired 35% of the company on June 17, 2005, after the release of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy: The Naked Mile (2005).

In 1983, within the underline of distribution deals of 20th Century Fox, Rocket Bunny's independent film division was rebranded "Rocket Bunny Pictures" for further independently made films. In 1985, the company signed a distribution deal with Warner Communications Group (now Warner Bros. Discovery; through Warner Bros. Pictures and Lorimar), which was originally each ten films long. But after a large amount of box office successes (such as United We Stand, Divided We Fall (Warner Bros. and Malpaso Company, 1987), The Madelyn Conspiracies (1989), The Draw Rider (Lorimar, 1990), Aeo and Run & Gun (both 1992; latter produced with Lorimar), and Between Universes (1994), the deal was extended. After New Line Cinema became a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner in In 1996, the company also signed a deal with Sony Pictures, most notably distributing films under the Columbia and TriStar labels.

Today, Robun Entertainment is most well-known for the Plant Wars, 10.5, Harold, Relax, Adam and Eve, The Heavy-Termed Girls and The Raiders franchises. They are also well-known for films such as Stoner, Leftward, Run, River Run, The Shroudbreaker, The Cursed Rogue, Legendary Storyteller, Stars of a Thief, Wild Rose, Art of the Trickster, the two Morningstar films, Being The Hero, The Attack of the Bayside Towns, As We Merrily Roll Along, Off Into The Horizon, The Light That Came To Me, Vinny Dreams, among others that have excelled over $600 million in box office sales. After Xavier Robun finally passed away on January 29, 2001, Sam Robun-Penton's nephew Norbert Robun-Penton took over the company along with vice executives with an 84% stake.

One of the company's biggest controversies is forbidding all American Disney Junior/Disney Channel Mornings airings of the Australian series Bluey, as well as prohibiting the sale of all affiliated merchandise and propaganda and even blocking all YouTube uploads from the show's official channel, stating that the show's fundamental purposes and Australian culture does not translate well to an American audience and through a new rule that character designs have to be sent out to the company's agency to verify a gender (if a character has verifiable features of a female (with eyelashes, a high, excited voice and a bow on head) or a male, (with a low voice, bowtie, or no eyelashes), they will be accepted into the American media, which Bluey and other characters did not pass). While many millionaires (including Ludo Studio, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and BBC Studios, the companies behind the show) tried to take most of their currency due to the outrage based on the blockage, they were unsuccessful and Robun's side of the war won. Eventually, Bluey would inevitably become one of the most widely hated shows in history after Grall, out of pure spite, hacked both the ABC Kids, Cbeebies, and Disney Junior/Disney Channel networks to display a highly controversial fan episode he made himself: School Day. This prompted The Walt Disney Company to try to put an end to the company once and for all by purchasing 21st Century Fox's assets along with Rocket Bunny Entertainment, but failed to do so, as shown below.

After The Walt Disney Company purchased 78% of 21st Century Fox's assets in 2019 including 15% of Rocket Bunny Entertainment, Disney spun them off into a new company called "Rocket Bunny International Investments & Properties, Ltd." (RBII&P) along with the company's subsidiaries after they failed to shut them down due to mass budget overtakes. In 2023, RBII&P acquired most of Disney's assets for $212 billion and shut down The Walt Disney Company soon after, stating that Disney is not staying true to their source materials and that it is failing to make back most of its economic state from theatrical releases and their streaming service, Disney+. Then, on March 23, 2024, the company revived the 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, and Blue Sky Studios names for $285.4 million, stating that the three companies in past memory are what made fans' lives complete and how the companies were very pretentious at classic films. Today, Robun Entertainment is now renowned as the #1 Most Acclaimed Movie Studio in the world, according to Universal Privilege, Global, Life, Total Film, HAF, Weekly Us, PHF Specials, and Rocket Bunny's website.

On January 23, 2024, Norbert Robun-Penton announced that the company and its subsidiaries named after it will all be rebranded to Robun Entertainment, stating that "some homages bring in the people who grew with it" and how the name references to when the company first started and became what it was before the rebrand and stating how they think "Rocket Bunny" does not compare to the likes of other major movie studio names. On February that same year, the company and its affiliates officially rebranded to Robun Entertainment, with Rocket Bunny Pictures, Rocket Bunny Theaters, Rocket Bunny Interactive, Rocket Bunny Animation Studios and the Rocket Bunny Arena being rebranded as well. While the rebrand received subtly negative feedback by some of the fanbase and corporate affair, it has been largely praised for its nostalgicism and its more apparent reference to the company's founders.

Robun Brothers, Incorporated

1st Logo (November 28, 1910-October 4, 1914)

Visuals: On a black curtain background, a stylized Roman column is seen with a praetorian standing on top with a blanket wrapped around her waist, around two-thirds of the column, and onto the floor. The letters "R" and "B" in Bambi Gala are seen on both sides of the logo, held up by sticks. There is a black starry background on a wall behind the column. There are also clouds below the logo. Two "Made in USA" symbols (representing interstate shields) are seen on the bottom corners of the screen. Underneath the column, there is a dais plate reading "A FILM FROM Cliff Chandler (in Cliff Chandler's signature) AND THE ROBUN FAMILY AT ROBUN BROTHERS, INCORPORATED. After a couple of seconds, the logo fades out.

Trivia:

  • According to a 1961 interview with Xavier Robun, the logo was originally going to include the head of Cliff Chandler, who originally proposed the founding of the studio. After the Robun Brothers Austin and Samuel joined the company's founding in 1904, the concept was changed to include the brothers on the top of the column to symbolize their legacy when they die, but due to the process of engraving their faces being impossible due to heavy countering and financial trouble during this time, they eventually settled on the concept of Pnevoma, a famous pre-cognitive mythological figure who symbolized posterity through the calling from the top of her column to inform the surroundings about events of the future. Samuel was heavily influenced by this figure, with him stating that if the studio becomes successful in the future, they must all thank Pnevoma for her presence and the source of the thought. Robun, more specifically, stated in the interview:

"Pnevoma is a woman who symbolizes the future through thought and hope. Samuel's affection towards her personality put the posterity of the company to his test. With the studio where it is now, with great performances, sets, and scores, it was never a big alacritous moment that the studio would be in a financial rocketing in terms of its span. And we have to thank everyone who works with us, the actors who take part, and the people we influence on our part. We may sound like Hindus, but we always relied on carefulness and meticulousness to make the studio be at its place, and we always relied on Pnevoma for this future, so that is why we have dedicated to her in our logo."

  • The column has now become a staple landmark of the suburb Robun, California, located in the front of the Rocket Bunny studios loacted there to commemorate the icon and its prominence to many fans.
  • This column logo is still used in the various logos used by the Rocket Bunny Studios since its 1979 rebranding and to its 2024 rebranding to the Robun Brothers Studios, referencing the founding name.
  • Due to its iconic status, the column has also been parodied numerous times in other media, such as Clones, Greeny Phatoms, The Simpsons, Squishville, 21 Street, Family Guy, Relax, The Raiders, Unity, and Krapopolis.

Variants:

  • Various prototypes of the logo exist:
    • On early films such as Touching A Thread, The Bagger, The Lesson, The Hedges of Gardenia, and The Secret Place, the background is lighter, the model is different (with the praetorian's head facing the left instead of facing at the camera, the column's ridges being less compressed, and the column's head and steps being less detailed), and the clouds are differently placed. The dais now reads: "A FILM BY Cliff Chandler AND THE ROBUN BROS. AT ROBUN BROTHERS INCORPORATED".

Robun Brothers Pictures (first era)

Rocket Bunny Entertainment

Robun Brothers Pictures (second era)

Logo (March 27, 2024-)

Visuals: On a black background, a light flashes and expands to a phantasmagoria of psychedelic colors and various objects from many different movies that Robun Brothers (and their sister companies) produced (will be listed below), along with comets that streak out like vines and whiz by the camera as it pans around. It enters through the explosion's center, which reveals a purple vortex filled with more objects which pass by. Various molecules and lines conjoin to make the iconic Rocket Bunny figure, whose jetpack powers on and gains a face as the vortex behind it dissipates into a cloudy spectrum with lights and comets still flying past. They explode some clouds out of their radius and the camera flies through a tuft as the scene changes to a parade-esque setting in a city with various Rocket bunny characters cheering or leading themselves down the street to the Pnevoma statue. The camera follows the rabbit up to her fingernail which is leading out on top, to which the bunny then etches inside the finger, turning the screen black with space. The bunny flies out to the distance, then loops back around to the camera as the screen lights up and flashbangs, turning the rabbit to an insignia picture and the "Robun" in the iconic script font and "B R O T H E R S" in Montserrat appear with it from the sying light, along with the byline "A Robun ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" below. The logo zooms out slowly, turns 2D, and fades out as the space background disappears.

Trivia:

Variants:

  • A much longer, unused version exists. The logo starts out normal, but as the camera goes through the cloud, it is extended and leads to a Western setting where a replica of Josh Norton (from The Fence That Divides Hell And Heaven) rides and slaps his horse, causing it to run to the left offscreen. It approaches a shed where the two Bauer brothers, along with their friends (from Two Towns Called Owatonna), move out in a precautious fashion where the camera turns and goes inside, revealing a mass shootout of the two factions (a homage to Rio Rancho) inside, where that film's main character Jack "Jock" Holly pulls out his 44-Magnum and fires a bullet from behind a wood pole, as the camera follows it and lands point-blank in an opposing comrade's chest. After he is off-screen, the scene changes to a bunker window where a mass war happens. After we zoom out the window, the NX-550 WI War Machine from Phantom Forces walks in and lunges at a snipe tower, destroying it completely as a piece segues into a desert-esque scene where Brandon "Delphy" Delphine (from Delphy) is seen escaping from a bunker (referencing a scene from the film) and running away. The camera pans up to a hidden mountaintop where John Gooedeve (from Summit) reaches the apex and screams valorantly, before the camera whips over to an army battalion led by the Aagin (a reference to Arsenal) rolling at the camera, where the camera zooms through a window on one of its tanks. The design on the window reflects into a space setting, where the designation ship N-II (from The Raiders) flies towards the camera with the exoplanet Copper 9 in the background. Inside, we see the characters N, J, V, Ripley "Rip" Anderson, Mei Lin Chung and U.Z.I., along with their army members, filing and piloting the ship. One of its doors open to a sky where we descend down to a sea where the "Grand Conquerors" galleon (from the Shores of Gold franchise) sails over to a treasure cay with a cannon war in the background, where a zoom in to the chests reveals Captain Naveed emerging from a sea cave and opening the chest. A reflection on a coin changes to a scene where tons of nuclear bombs and earthquakes ravage a city, as Frances Foster (from Relax) leads a guarding army down a street. The camera whips to the right where Johanna "Jo" Sanders, along with Kip Mulligan, Jared "Old Tuna" Tunter, and their allies (from 10.5), meet and propose a battle. As soon as Frances and Jo's heads touch, the scene changes to the Aufridd Lands (from Plant Wars), where Kernel, Rose, Citron, Bocky Choyboa, Frederic Filmentus, Jeff, Paci, and their plant army roam it. The camera then focuses on Adam and Eve, along with Maya, Christine, Laney, and Imp (from The Heavy-Termed Girls), and Arapaima and Jade Enery (from The S*x Maid), who then start beating each other, as lights begin to glow on the tree. Then, the logo continues as normal, with a shot of the Bunny flying down to the city street. This has not been used in any film, due to time consuming efforts to make the scene as divisive as possible not going according to the director's plan and also due to mass time constraints.
  • A shorter version exists starting with a panning shot of various heads before the camera arises seeing the Rocket Bunny and the logo continuing as normal.

Pnevoma Pictures

Background

Pnevoma Pictures is the independent film and television division of Rocket Bunny Pictures, mainly known for distributing films and shows for other major studios such as Universal, Paramount, and MGM with some distributed by Netflix and Amazon Prime without Rocket Bunny's support or involvement.

Robun Brothers Animation Studios

Background

Robun Brothers Animation Studios (previously known as Robun Brothers Animation from 1943 to 1983, Rocket Bunny Pictures Animation from 1983 to 1988 and Rocket Bunny Animation Studios from 1988 to 2024, also known as Rocket Bunny Animation and commonly abbreviated as RBAS or RBA) is an American flagship animation studio owned and run by the Robun Brothers Studios, a division of Robun Brothers Entertainment Ventures, wholly owned by Rocket Bunny International Investments and Properties, LLC. (RBII&P). Formed as an offspring of Robun Brothers Pictures in 1930 by Xavier and Samuel Robun and animators Johann Berlauß, Elson Hamberg, and Essy Allen, the studio specializes in producing films, shorts and TV series targeted for diverse age groups (its sister company, C1A1 Entertainment, mainly releases films for teen and more mature audiences only), all of which are released through Rocket Bunny Pictures. The studio's earliest release, Thoughts (1929), garnered critical and commercial success for the studio, and would lead to the clip being featured in all of the company's identity logos since. The company was founded in 1930, but would not use a logo all the way up until 1988, where it was renamed to Rocket Bunny Animation Studios.

1st Logo (April 14, 1988-November 22, 1996)

Visuals: A live-actioned hand (presumably that of Jose Harrington, the executive officer of the company at the time) holding a pencil appears and draws a line, where a bright substance glows inside and stars fall offscreen. While still holding the pencil, another hand appears and they both use their fingernails to grip and tear the line open like paper, revealing a supernova-like "Frutiger Aero" esque setting filled with a spinning planet, comets streaking out like vines, stars flashing against the screen, paint streaks above, and lands populated with various figures soaring past engulfing the screen and making the hands disappear from view. As paint splatters appear and melt away, various microbes and lines form the Rocket Bunny, who winks at us before flying backward and looping and zooming away to the center, to which, in line, all the items and environments become sucked into the center, taking the background with it like a paper being sucked, only remaining the evironment inside the "Rocket Bunny" script logo on a black background. A light appears on the tip of the "y", turning the logo white as the text "a film from" in Malu fades in, along with "Animation" and "Studios", vertically stacked beside the text and in Kansaya, after that. The hand comes back in frame and draws "With Love and Respect!" along with a circle and a smiling face inside of it before disappearing again. The logo stays for a couple of seconds before fading out.

Technique: A combination of live-action and cel animation of dofferent art techniques, created by Gerard Concev and Alfed Bojanĵok Hoon at Tykaro-Cieljesses Associates and FXN Company.

Audio: We first hear a quiet mystical-sounding tune, along with a pencil streak noise. Sparkling noises, sounds of children laughing and playing and sounds of cars and trucks driving are heard as well. Two faint sounds of tapping play, followed by a loud paper tear, which makes the music erupt into a beautiful serenading orchestral tune with faint choirs and sounds corresponding to the objects. Various reversed taps, followed by a faint "ding" are heard as the Rocket Bunny winks, and a rocketing noise followed by a hard sound of the objects becoming sucked in, which causes the music to devolve into an airy note and another "ding". Sixteen piano notes play throughout the end of the logo. Drawing noises cap off the logo as the final five notes play. This tune was composed by Victor Tarr.

Availability: Can still be seen on RBAS' films released from the period, either on VHS, DVD, Netflix, Prime Video, or Timely.

  • First seen on Aries and was last seen on Preachers (1996).

Robun Brothers Interactive

Background

TBA.

4th Logo (June 12, 1996-September 9, 2005)

Visuals: A small light flashes in the center. Many glowing cracks extend from the light's spot to the far sides of the screen. Once the cracks reach the borders of the screen, they break, releasing a volatile, powerful blowing cloud which beats against the screen, flashing lightning every second. As the clouds spread out, we see a large light emitting from the whirl's point, which illuminates the area. Many models of various Rocket Bunny characters spiral around and become absorbed and sucked into the vortex. After the last character fades into the light, various rainbow copies of the 1991 Rocket Bunny Interactive logo fade in and rotate horizontally to the center of the screen as the vortex fades out and zooms to the center. As the copies turn white, the screen flashes and a ring expands out, spreading a flashing encode over the logo on a space background with the clouds from the vortex becoming separated and flowing away. The background fades out, and the logo turns white as copyright info appears below.

The characters that are seen in the vortex are:

  • Mei Lin Chung (from The Raiders)
  • Finn "Five Point Five" Vipor (from Death Engines)
  • U.Z.I. (from The Raiders)
  • Harold McGrady (from the Harold franchise)
  • Adam and Eve (both from their self-titled franchise; they are seen clenching and wrapped around each other)
  • General Kley (from Gun Barrel City)
  • Kip Mulligan (from the 10.5 franchise)
  • Ripley Anderson (also from The Raiders)
  • John Carter Banes (from Bright Weather)
  • Jo Sanders (from the 10.5 franchise)

Variants:

  • Starting with games such as The Sleep, a short version exists where the logo starts with the clouds with a flash of lightning.
  • Starting with the release of Cabinet's Head in 1999, the logo was updated. The logo also runs in a smoother framerate (about 40fps; the jump to higher-functioning framerate enhancers was starting to gain popularity around the time), and some of the characters that are sucked into the center have been altered and the remaining characters have been slightly re-rendered.
  • On some games such as Overcast, The Triptych, Death Glare, Barrel Heat, Crossout '98, UKM Turbo, and 10.5: Save the States, the logo is cut down to its last few seconds.
  • On The Heartless for the PC, the logo is slowed down to the point where the audio ends nine seconds before the logo itself finishes.
  • Some games such as Two's A Crowd for the PS1 have a version where the logo runs at 240p while the audio is enhanced with 20% more audiolobe hertz.
  • It has been reported that a version where the original 1994 version of the logo is used while the enhanced 1999 version of the audio plays instead. This has been reported to have been seen on the PS1 version of Double Quotation, though no footage of it exists as of this writing.

Technique: Computer-generated animation done at DustStorm Inc. and Imaginary Forces. The logo animates at 20 fps, but as the vortex disappears, the logo animates at 25 fps.

Audio: A soft rumble, followed by cracking noises which become lower in volume. This is then followed with a crash, loud wind noises and thunderclaps with whooshing as the characters fly by.

Rocket Bunny Music Video

Robun Brothers Theatres

Background

In 1973, Robun Brothers Pictures executives (Martin Freshcher, Damian Kaythi Saatchi, Howp Towen, and Javii Nomboyer) had a talk with theater entrepreneurs the Durwood brothers and David Dambuel to acquire their run-down theaters so they can expand the business to theater development. October 24, 1974, was the opening day of the first Robun Brothers Theater in Los Angeles, California. After exceeding over $30 million in currency and box office transfers from customers and deals of venue, the chain began worldwide expansion. Although the name of the company was changed to Rocket Bunny in 1979, the Robun Brothers Theatres name continued to live until 1982, when major cuts caused the chain to rename itself as a whole to Rocket Bunny Theatres.

After the rename in early 1983, the company experienced major growth in revenue and eventually expanded locations to across the world. The first non-USA theater chain to open was the Rocket Bunny Theater in Mexico City in 1984. In 1985, the company opened its first multiplex cinema chains overseas, the 12-screen multiplex theatre in London, United Kingdom and the 10-screen multiplex in The Point, Milton Keynes, both in the United Kingdom. During that year, they opened the first non-English speaking chains, the Rocket Bunny Theater Madrid 10 in Madrid, Spain, and the Rocket Bunny Theater Louvre 15 in Paris, France. They opened additional sites in those countries such as the Rocket Bunny Theater Point Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France, Rocket Bunny Theater La-Part-Dieu 8 in Lyon, France, and the Rocket Bunny Theater Barcelona 12 in Barcelona, Spain, all of which have garnered over $500 million in revenue for the main company in total. The first Asian theaters to open are the Rocket Bunny Theater Shanghai 15 in Shanghai, China and the Rocket Bunny Theater Tokyo 15 in Tokyo, Japan in August. The first Australian theaters to open are the Rocket Bunny Theater Canberra 20, the Rocket Bunny Theater Gold Coast 25, and the Rocket Bunny Theater Sydney 23, all of which opened in October of 1985.

In July 1987, the company opened its first megaplex theater (also the first megaplex theater in the world; and would eventually become their most famous theater), the Rocket Bunny Theater Times Square 35 in New York City, New York. The megaplex theater, with 35 screens and with each auditorium sitting over 25,000 people, was opened by Kineopolis in association with Marquee Holdings and EAK Company. During its grand opening, it drew in approximately 1,594,000 moviegoers and residents in just its first hour, and after the first movie showing, garnered nearly $550,000.

After Sony's release of the SDDS sound system in 1993, the company signed a contract to employ its auditoriums with the technology. Two years later in 1995, the company signed numerous deals with other companies. During that year, Rocket Bunny Theaters signed a deal with IMAX to employ its theaters with IMAX technology. Two years later, they struck a deal with Lucasfilm to employ some auditoriums with the THX technology. The deal was closed in 2006 due to complaints about the sound scaring children, but was reverted in 2023 for their THX Ultimate Cinema franchises. Two years later, they struck another deal with Dolby Laboratories to employ some auditoriums with Dolby sound systems. In 2009, they struck a final deal with PRIME, a movie/home theater equipment manufacturing company to employ its theaters with their finest sound equipment. Some theaters come equipped with an anaglyphic RealD 3D technology for some movie showings, as well as the BigD screens in some other ones. Some theaters in Arkansas and Alabama are certified by [[Cinedigm Digital Cinema|Cinedigm, meaning that all visuals are projected with their technology. After SDDS began to be phased out in 2008, the company signed another deal with Columbus-based Westinberg Media Systems to employ the theaters with their Westinberg sound systems, although SDDS-equipped theaters still survived until October 2009. In 2010, the chain launched a membership club called RB Theatres Stubs, which attracted a total of 467 million people. The next year, they upgraded themselves to an S-Tier division, where you get free concessions, showings, and a point counter that will unlock membership rewards if you watch enough movies every week, as well as free access to all of the theater chain's subsidiarial divisions. On December 30, 2022, the chain signed another deal with THX to employ the THX certification system to theaters. Today, the chain was ranked highest of all US cinema chains (above AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas, which they all merged with Cinemark Theatres to form Fathom Events in 2005 and with Callahan Cinemas and Wall Street Cinemas (both theater chains were acquired by the company in 2011 and 2013) to form Timely Cinema Corporation in 2014), attracts 90 million customers per day, and has exceeded over $67 billion for the main company since 1982.

C1A1 Entertainment

Background

C1A1 Entertainment (a promonym for "See (C) One (1) Animate (A) One (1)") is an American flagship animation studio established in 1979 by veteran animators Ralph Bakshi, Camen Christian Jr., Don Landers, Dick Lundy, Evan Cringstam, and Ray Eljovitz and has been owned by the Robun Brothers Studios since 1982 after the release of the critically and commerically successful Adam & Eve.

Unlike Robun Brothers Animation Studios, a sister animation company and subsidiary of the former company, C1A1 mainly specializes in releasing animated films appealing to teen and adult audiences, notably films that are rated PG-13, R, or (very rarely) NC-17 by the MPAA. Throughout its timeline, the company has produced critically-acclaimed and box office hits and franchises such as Plant Wars, Relax, 10.5, Harold, Adam and Eve, The Heavy-Termed Girls, Bright Weather, The Raiders, and Battle, as well as successful short films such as East, Chilliwack, The Seat, Bodies, Dry Blood, Gimlet, The Happiness.. It BURNS!! and others. Some of their films have also achieved numerous breakthroughs and records, such as Adam and Eve being the first animated film by the company to receive an X rating from the MPAA, 10.5 becoming the first animated film to be animated entirely through rotoscope, physics tracking, and being animated at 60 frames per second, outgrossing its competitor Toy Story, Relax becoming the highest paid-preview opening for an animated film and the first film to utilize CGI-animated elements in 2D territorial elements, and Adam and Eve: Genesis becoming the first animated film to gross over $1 billion in less than 24 hours, as well as Battle receiving over 36 major accolades for its production and box office records.

The company has released over 51 feature films, 43 shorts and also 25 AMVs since its founding, 42 released under Robun Brothers Pictures (previously Rocket Bunny Pictures) and 7 released under the Robun Entertainment banner and released through 20th Century Studios (previously 20th Century Fox), with their most recent project being Battle, co-produced with over 50 companies and domestic/international distributors, released on July 20, 2023. Upcoming films from the studio include Another Round of Bright Weather, The Meadow, a Plant Wars spinoff sequel, and Made, and upcoming TV shows include Shown in Scope, Wanda's Only and two Heavy-Termed Girls spinoffs Christine and Imp.

1st Logo (April 2, 1981-May 1992)

TBA.

2nd Logo (March 29, 1986-May 1992)

Visuals: Scrolling up in the end credits or over a black background, we see a white outlined oval with "C1A1" in a bold Anais font, with various petals varying in drawing styles (such as loops, detailed petals, and points) around it. The spaced out text "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" is seen below.

Trivia: The object being represented is a peoryn, a symbolic natranea-type flower meant to represent a cross between hatred and generosity. Most of C1A1's films blend between feelings of seriousness and warmth, which is why the flower is a symbol of anything related to the company.

3rd Logo (November 22, 1992-November 19, 2002)

Visuals: Over a black screen, a golden yellow light slowly turns on and illuminates a movie set with a microphone, camera lights, a boom, a director's chair and multiple angle cameras all in slight dark red and deep purple tones. As the camera pans around the set clockwise, which becomes brighter, it comes to screen easel where the camera zooms in and sees the C1A1 logo being drawn in at about 35fps over a white background. Once the logo is drawn, a red/blue beam of light streaks out from the top-right corner and pierces through the symbol, filling it with its responsive colors (the peoryn's inside colored red, the petals colored blue, and the text remaining white). Once that happens, the logo zooms out and the text "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" blurs in below everything as the background turns black and the logo shines.

Trivia:

  • According to co-founder Evan Cringstam, the set transition was originally supposed to represent a feeling of irony, but also a sense of excitement. He says in an interview: "Everyone knows the movies. Everyone knows how they film every shot, they pitch a camera to a card, and they take a long, tedious time deciding which angle is right. Except here at C1A1, we have tons of experienced people making animations. Nothing but animations. Everywhere you go, you see one by us. Sure.. there is also always one you will see by a competitor, but the people do not know. So we created this logo just to get a laugh and made them think twice when they saw it was us, just animating a man running in about 5 minutes with 30 fps. But at the same time, it gets you excited and symbolizes what mystical, dark, warthought adventures we can unfurl on cinema screens. We also symbolize our greatest partner, Rocket Bunny, who, you know, does all the filming."
  • According to C1A1 executive Armando Bareilles, several dofferent ideas of the company logo were proposed, from a line becoming different complexity stages of a man walking and running to a light flashing into an MYK color format forming the logo. Eventually, the C1A1 CEO from 1989-1992, Joh Reyes Yu Dong, settled on the idea of a set turning into an animation, as she thought it would provide a sense of myst and unbeknown to the feelings that would happen when you watch their films. She said it would also hint at new animation techniques that would be adopted by them in the future (rotoscoping through motion-capture and physics tracking techniques).
  • This logo was animated originally by both C1A1, Tykaro-Cieljesses Associates and Visalia-based animation service Pdaj Khsunk Co., with CEO Kzun Lophabgan serving as main director. After feuds between concept artists, they were both fired from production and C1A1 managed it all by themselves.

Variants:

  • Starting with Harold Again in 1996, the byline "A Rocket Bunny ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" (with "Rocket Bunny" in its corporate font and the rest in Kidot Sans) in white fades in below everything after the animation finishes. The logo also stays on screen a few seconds longer before fading out.
  • On the short film A Bandit's Gaze, the byline is set to Myriad Pro to match the tone with the short.
  • On the short K8-E, the byline is in thin Microgramma.
  • A short version exists where the logo starts when the camera zooms into the screen easel. This was first used on Plant Wars (1999) and last appeared on Big Minya (2002; the last film to use this logo altogether)
  • A shorter version exists where the beam hits the logo. This was mainly used on TV shows from the company at the time such as Clones and A Shot To Remember.
  • Sometimes, the logo is still.

Audio: A faint click, then a soothing, airy, synthesized theme with wind blowing, which culminates into a wind chime theme with a choir. Composed by Stevon Williamsand.

Audio Variants:

  • Films and shorts such as The Raiders, Relax, Kuga, K8-E, Terminal, The Wrong Place, and A Walk Along The Gainges use an ascending synthpad theme with whooshing sounds.
  • Most of the time, the opening theme of the movie/short is heard instead.
  • At the end of films or shorts such as The Raiders, Nightmares, Peelers, Henry, and Plant Wars, the logo is silent.
  • Some shorts have the logo off-sync with the music.

Availability: Seen and retained on all of C1A1's animated films and shorts from the time period. Such examples include 10.5, Plant Wars, The Raiders, Harold Again (also known as Harold: The Second Chapter), Relax, Pom Pom, Kuga, A Bandit's Gaze, and Walt, among others, and was used in tandem with the next logo until August 1, 2002.

  • First seen on Pom Pom and its usage ended with the release of Big Minya in 2002 (although trailers for the film use the next logo).
  • Although most releases use the full version of the logo, the still version is only seen on the shorts The List, On Street Six, and Bullet Circuit 1.0.
  • The short version can be seen on the films Plant Wars, Plant Wars 2, Terminal, and Big Minya, and also the shorts Among Sunrise, and Pickled.
  • This logo was last seen on the teaser trailer for 20.5 (released the same day as Big Minya as it was attached to it theatrically), which would inevitably be the debut film of the next logo.
  • Most shorts from the company retain the full version of the logo with the right music tracking, but the short version with off-sync music can only be seen on Bō Tanh.
  • This logo surprisingly makes an appearance on the Timely print of Adam and Eve (1982), due to it using an updated 10th Anniversary print.
  • Also retained on the shows Clones (1st and 2nd seasons only), A Shot To Remember, 10.5: The Series, Apollo X, and Black Thread.

Editor's Note: A fondly remembered logo for fans of C1A1 films.

Author's Note: Some ideas of this logo come from the Interscope Communications logo, but not all of the aspects.

Pencil Ventures

NOTE: The Ross Bollinger I mention here is not affiliated with the Ross Bollinger who makes the Pencilmation web series, but rather a renowned deceased animator who has worked on other iconic franchises from the 1940s to the mid 1990s, where his tragic death took place. Once again, this exists in my world and not ours.

Background

Pencil Ventures is an American animation studio founded by renowned animator Ross Bollinger and owned by the Bollinger Estate since his death on February 17, 1994. The studio has been a subsidiary of Rocket Bunny Studios since 1996, and is the company's third flagship animation studio alongside Rocket Bunny Animation Studios and C1A1 Entertainment. Nearly all of the studio's content (except for the Squishville and the Backyard Kids franchises, which are owned by Universal Studios), are owned by a minority stake between Rocket Bunny II&P and Paramount Pictures. The studio is best known for the Pencilmation, Squishville, Elimination!, 21st Street, Bluey and Rosy, Secrets of the Nile and the Backyard Kids franchises.

Ross Bollinger founded the studio while working for United Productions of America, where he created and animated a short film about a sketch drawing having constant quarrels with a pencil, released in 1943 as The Bollinger Production House. His other released projects were then compiled into a series known as Pencilmation, where he continued to work on episodes of the series ever since. In 1948, the company was renamed to The Bollinger Productions Co. Due to the series' massive success in viewership, Bollinger released another exclusive project, Bluey and Rosy in 1958 for theater start times and intermissions for Robun Brothers Pictures films. In 1963, the company was officially renamed to Pencil Ventures. Pencil Ventures was then inherited by several other animators of the time including Gerald Voịće, Dan Kiels and John Hubley in 1963, where they frequently collaborated to make the 21st Street and Elimination! franchises throughout the 1960s and 1970s, in which animators from Robun Brothers Pictures, such as Gnidnow Kilhocgore and Jisso Kaosu, assisted and loaned them.

After the Robun Brothers Studios renamed to Rocket Bunny Entertainment in 1979, Pencil Ventures began to shift and cut their ties with the company altogether after Bollinger decided to eventually stop assisting other companies on his works. The company's independently-made projects, such as the series The Adventures of the Backyard Kids, unfortunately, did not financially recover as much as Bollinger had hoped, leading them to start contracting other companies to support their projects. Bollinger's daughter, Eleanor, created the franchise Squishville with toymaker Jonathan Kelly in 1984, which became a tremendous success. Until then, Bollinger inherited the intellectual property with Universal Pictures supporting the franchise.

After Ross Bollinger's death from lung cancer occurred on February 17, 1994, his sons Bruce and Joseph became chief executives of the company and formed the Bollinger Estate, where Bollinger's assitants and family members contributed their works to the institute and publicly ran the companies he owned. After Rocket Bunny Entertainment took notice, they signed a deal with the company to intellectually acquire the estate so that they can loan the company and pay respects to the death of the company's founder. On July 29, 1996, Rocket Bunny Entertainment acquired the company for $389 million, thus marking it their third flagship studio to specialize in animation. In 2006, Paramount Pictures announced a deal between the Rocket Bunny Companies and the Bollinger estate to wholly distribute some of the company's properties after they had worked with CBS to hold television rights to their programs from the 1960s to the 1990s. Pencil Ventures' name comes from the first work from Ross Bollinger, Pencilmation, which originally ran from 1943 to 1982, but executives revived the series to air publicly on television since 1984.

5th Logo (June 28, 1980-March 12, 1994)

Visuals: Over a black background, thrte is a hand-drawn graphic of a pencil (over a top view) in bright gold before it dims to a soft blue as six blue shining lights close in on the graphite tip of the pencil. The pencil is also in front of a cut-out of the United States country. Once they disappear, several lines and bolts flicker on and off (a la RKO Pictures) of the tip as the text "Pencil" in script and "VENTURES" in a spaced-out Poppins pop in in line with the Morse Code letter. The text "the company of Ross Bollinger" in Figtree fades in below. The tip continues to emit the lines and bolts until the logo ends or cuts to the next one.

Bylines:

  • June 28, 1980-September 27, 1981: "The company of Ross Bollinger" in a white Figtree, along with "and D&B Holdings Ltd." below that in a smaller size.
  • September 30, 1981-March 29, 1984: "The company of Ross Bollinger" by itself.
    • On various old HBO Family airings of 21 Street (1984-1989) from 1997-1998, the byline is in a slight peach tint.
  • April 2, 1984-July 18, 1994: "The company of Ross Bollinger" as normal and "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." below that, both in white.
    • Sometimes, on various shows such as The Ulster and Umie Power Hour, The Digital Distillery, The Days of Dyna-Rabbit, Fit For A Nomad, Very Farley, Festival Fridays, Colored America, The Teen Angels (1981-1982), Semi-Privacy and the obscure The Power Trek and Little Dottie's Seven Days, the "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." text would be a very pale parchment yellow, possibly due to deterioration.
    • On syndicated prints of the shows Blue-Wash! and The Old Peeling Ball, the logo is darker, making the "Pencil VENTURES" and "the company of Ross Bollinger" text moccasin colored and the "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." text sandy brown.
    • On a syndicated print of Elimination! on CBS on March 11, 1994, the whites on the text are tinted in khaki.
  • April 27-July 18, 1994: The text "A DIVISION OF THE BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." in Arial is below.
  • Most post-1984 re-runs of shows made when owned by D&B Holdings Co. have the version's byline blacked out for legal reasons.

Variants:

  • An extended version of this logo exists, usually seen on theatrical films. The sequence starts with a space background with galaxies for a couple of seconds before a bright star shines in the middle, emitting several rays and rotating before the light takes up the whole screen. Then the light fades out as the logo plays as normal, albeit with the pencil zooming in slightly and animating slower and as copyright info fades in on the bottom-right corner. At the beginning of the logo, you can see that the stars align and form the United States map as the star appears.

Audio Variants:

  • The theatrical version starts with a low wind noise for the space background. It then culminates and morphs into four ascending analaog synth chords which fade out as the logo appears, followed by Morse Code beeps that spell "Pencil Ventures", which play twice.
  • On two reported 1997 HBO Family airings of the film The Barrel's Pod To Home, the Morse Code beeps play with a low pitch-set tone due to a mistake with the print.

TKO Films

Background

TKO Films was founded in October 1991 by film director Arnold Janet, a year after he left his previous company, Florament Studios, founded with Floraya Stambere and Ariyo Mente Stevens prior to that company's closure. The company is known for the Plant Wars, Arsenal and Phantom Forces film and television franchises, all of which were massive commercial successes, garnering Janet over $2.6 billion by 2005. In 1993, Harold producers Terrence McGurrin and Jen McGriella became executive partners with Janet, but both left in 1995 due to low production value and lacks of interest between Janet, McGurrin and McGriella. In 2015, Janet was joined by Akeer Zaos, an Indian film producer who is an avid fan of his films and helped him set up a production facility in Mumbai titled TKO Mumbai Pvt. Ltd., which does not produce Rocket Bunny films made in the country and only films Zaos produced.

The company is named after when Janet was a professional boxer from 1979 to 1983, where he won a total of 85 games with 46 of them coming from brutal knockouts. In 1983, he retired from the business to become a film director as he was becoming more and more interested in the independent film competition that was on the rise around that time.

1st Logo (October 17, 1992-May 18, 1998, September 28, 2002)

Visuals: On a black background, various white lines draw an enclosed picture of the Marshall S. Rowers Parkway viewpoint from Misericordia, Seminolia in a rectangle, with the Samell City skyline in the background. As the picture fills with color and becomes a video, a red light flashes on the Southern Tower's spire, making everything go black and making a white line draw "TKO" in a bold, stretched Gill Sans font in the middle of the screen from the light. The text "A" and "PRODUCTION" fade on top and below the text in a squashed bold Century Gothic as copyright info fades in on the bottom-right corner.

Trivia:

  • As established in Florament Pictures' page, the town of Misericordia was the birthplace of founder Arnold Janet.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, on films such as On Gray Stride and Lay Over, the logo is darker.
  • A short version exists, starting at when the Southern Tower flashes.
  • A still version also exists.

Technique: Live action and 2D animation.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the movie.

Audio Variant: At the end of Aphrodite, the tail end of the alternate Silver Pictures fanfare composed by Alan Silvestri plays over the lines forming and drawing, and the rest of the logo remains completely silent.

Availability: Seen and still retained on films of the time period, such as NEI, Sand Beneath The Shoes, On Gray Stride, Carolyn Said, The Garden Walk, A Scratch In A Barrel, With Murderous Intent, Aphrodite, and The Page.

  • This makes a re-appearance on Capricorn, released in 2002 as a variant.
  • This does not appear on the films Low Rode, Yannis and Five Star Snipe.

2nd Logo (June 30, 1999-)

Visuals: Over a black screen, various white blurry objects whoosh by the screen in a split-second fashion, with more joining in as the background brightens to a dark cloudy background with slight rain. Once the blurry objects focus to reveal they are "TKO" in a thick and stretched bold Gill Sans font, a bolt of lightning strikes and flashbangs the screen for a second before fading away to reveal a white blot extending to the left of the text and being enclosed in a box. A stylized graphic of Arnold Janet's face with a bolt streak from the lightning fades in the box and the text "F I L M S" in an extended font fly by and places itself below the logo as the background fades out, along with the logo a few seconds later via a slow blur effect.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the logo is darker and processively more grainy. This is seen on films such as 35mm prints of Phantom Forces (2003), Arsenal: Grenade, and A Body On The Roadside.
  • On Indian films produced by the company, such as Vishisht Prem (Typical Love), Eyarostep Lain (Aerostep Line), and Opera Ko Kaaten (Cut Opera), the logo is brighter.
  • On Arsenal: Refugee, the logo has a night vision green tint to match the opening credits.
  • On the films The Breaker, The Envy, Fisticuffs, and Plant Wars: Life's a Blood Trail and the Indian film Da Lost Visteriyan (The Lost Wisterian), the bottom text reads "P I C T U R E S" instead.
  • Starting with Plant Wars: The Final Shot in 2019, the logo is enhanced with a silver shining effect on the words, the lightning bolt is more realistic and has a glow, and the cloud background is darker with the rain being lighter. The logo now zooms out slightly before it fades away.

Technique: CGI animation done by Visqua.

Audio: Various computerized beeps and glitchy whooshes, followed by the sound of slight rain and a loud thunderclap. An ominous synth drone is then heard with a low whoosh for the rest of the logo.

Audio Variants:

  • Some films such as On The Run, We Are Mercenaries, They, Plant Wars 2, and Love At Hand use a music clip from the movie instead.
  • Other films use the opening sounds, dialogue, or theme.
  • On Visqua's website, an intense orchestral theme which fades in is heard, which is an orchestral cover of the theme of Arsenal (1998), composed by Hans Zimmer and James Chortman. In the film's soundtrack, the full version of the theme is named "Final Hour" and can be found here.

Availability: Seen on all the company's films since 1999 starting with Plant Wars and also used in the Arsenal and Phantom Forces series of films, and also used on The Breaker, Unstrung, Fisticuffs, Twisted Childhood, On The Run, We Are Mercenaries, They, Love At Hand, and Bold Eye, among some others.

  • Strangely, this logo does not appear on the films Capricorn and With One Strike, the former which uses the previous logo as a variant, and the latter not being used for whatever reason.
  • Indian films to use this logo are Eyarostep Lain (Aerostep Line), Vishisht Prem (Typical Love), Opera Ko Kaaten (Cut Opera), Da Lost Visteriyan (The Lost Wisterian), Dakhan, Kungha Leeha, Saaptah (The Week), and Koh Nuh Mungaah.

Editor's Note: A favorite of many, especially fans of Plant Wars.

Author's Note: Some ideas come from the second Rogue logo.

The company originally produced animated shorts from 1980-1981, such as Late to Hell, before expanding to feature-length animated movies after the animated film competition began to rise in popularity at the time. Most of their 32 films are critically and commercially successful, with 17 of then exceeding over $1 billion in box office reception for Rocket Bunny Entertainment which led to the company acquiring it through their C1A1 Entertainment division in 2010.

In 2011, the company branched out into television production, with their notable shows being Laney, The Drain, Mid-Level and Running From Hell, the former which broke viewership and profit records for the Rocket Bunny Network (now known as RBN). Their upcoming shows and movies include Imp, Christine, a potential canon Adam and Eve sequel, and Leave Me Alone!. The company's acronym comes from the deurotagonist character Evelyn Valerie Pemberton from the Adam and Eve franchise.

1st Logo (April 25, 1997)

Visuals: On a black background, the text "EVE" in an ESPN-esque font and with its letters conjoined is seen with "COMPANY" in a tall serif font below it. Next to the company name, a white apostrophe and a white "S" in a curly font is written in chalk as a copyright symbol appears next to it. A crude drawing of Eve is then sketched on the bottom-right corner.

Technique: Simple 2D animation.

Audio: Just the sound of chalk drawing.

Availability: Only seen as a placeholder logo at the end of A Wretch Priority, which has not been desicovered in its entirety until March 2018.

2nd Logo (May 20, 1999-)

Visuals: On a black background, a crumpled piece of paper falls down and unfolds, engulfing the screen with white bent paper. A pencil then falls on the paper along with a stamp as a hand (most likely Eve's from the Adam and Eve franchise) picks up the pencil and draws the "EVE's" text in the same font as the previous logo and falls off-screen. The stamp is then picked up by Eve's other hand and stamps "COMPANY" in the same font as the previous logo as well. Eve's hand becomes shaky as it drops the stamp leaves the screen before it reappears with the other hand as they crumple and bring the paper down off-screen, turning the background black again as munching sounds are heard.

Variants:

  • Movies such as We Want You, The Heavy-Termed Girls and its sequels, The Sex Maid, Ice and Speed (2022) and Adam and Eve: Genesis have a short version where the logo is already formed and starts where Eve's hands bring the paper off-screen. Recently, this is due to time constraints when movies are produced with more than three production companies.
  • On some occasions, the end part is not shown at all, with the logo fading out before Eve's hands reappear. Here, the hand also does not shake after the "COMPANY" text is stamped. This is seen on the specials The Ravishingly Erotic World: After 25 Years, The Ravishingly Erotic World: Another Thing In Mind, Ray: The Man of Sex, web series such as How to Draw.. and Eat, and the movie Instant Regret.
  • On TV shows from the company, a slightly shorter version of the former variant is seen.
  • On the end of the web series Ask Adam and Eve!.. and Friends, How to Draw.. and Eat, Endless Ecstasy, Among You, and Aki: One Glory, the text "subscribe to" is also scribbled in after the "EVE's" text is written before the rest of the logo plays, albeit strecthed out longer to make room for the channel link and the annotated videos. As they all disappear, the end of the logo plays as normal.
  • A still version exists, seen at the end of movies and some TV shows such as Suction Cup Man and Already Bred.

Technique: A combination of live-action (for the falling paper and supplies), stop-motion animation (for the unfolding and crumpling paper), and 2D animation (for the hands) done at C1A1 Entertainment.

Audio: Sounds of the paper crumpling out and writing, with sounds for the stamp impacting the ground. A slight gasp from Eve followed by her infamous stomach growling noise, and finally a crumpling noise and munching sounds.

===This is the production company of Noel Mitchell, established in 1997 as Noel Mitchell Productions. After an incident with one of his kids in 2017, the company was renamed. To support the operation of the kid's case, Britain-based 45 Media Group (who had a major partnership with Orthopedic Chiropractors, Inc. at the time) acquired a majority stake in the company, with the 27% remaining stake being owned by Noel himself.

Mike, It's OK.

Logo (August 22, 2017-)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is a soft-bordered clip of a crying boy with a peach colored pocketed Abercrombie and Fitch shirt with a red collar standing outside of a yard with trees in the background, with tears rolling down his face. With a hand (most likely his mother's) placed on his shoulder, he covers his face and speaks as the text "Mike,", "It's", and "OK." draws in a vertical fashion in line with the off-screen dialogue. The 45 Media Group byline and the Orthopedic Chiropractors logo (a circle with the letters "oc" in Handel Gothic inside) form on the bottom-right.

Trivia: This clip was taken from the founder of the company's vlog with his family during the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse and the name of the company comes from a line the kid's mother said to him, to which he inevitably broke down. During the last few minutes of the event, the kid, named Mike, took his glasses off and became unable to see due to the penumbral light blinding his sense. He turned to his dad and told him he cannot see, to which he thought he was just pranking him. After being confronted by his mom, he began to break down in tears, with giving himself the idea that he cannot see again. After being admitted that he really was blinded, the ambulance was called and he was taken to the orthopedic hospital, where as of 2024, Mike was cured of his blindness. The Orthopedic Chiropractors company donated a total of $5 million to his family for Mike's mental health as a result, and led to 45 Media Group acquiring the company during its rebrand.
