Fox Benedict Animation is now closed

Background
Fox Benedict Animation is the animation division of Fox Benedict Pictures. The company was founded as Fox Imperial Animation in 1995, but renamed to its current name on January 17, 2020. The first animated feature film from Fox Imperial Pictures was I am the Cheese in that same year, but it didn't have a proper on-screen logo until 2020 with the theatrical release of The Ghost and Molly McGee. They are well known for releasing multiple animated feature films every year since 2020. On November 3, 2020, the company announced that it would cease the production of the Specks Industries feature film Gander 3, which was initially scheduled for release on November 4, 2022, but it was delayed to January 13, 2023, with Loud Pictures taking its place and Specks Industries remaining involved with the production.

Background Note: Early releases from I am the Cheese in 1995 to the regional release of Spies in Disguise in 2019 just used the regular Fox Imperial Pictures logos.

1st Logo (May 8, 2020-June 3, 2022)
Logo: Same as the 2020 Fox Benedict Pictures logo, except if uses the 2009 TCF sky background, the animation is cheaper, the sky is sunny instead of a sunset, there is no sunflash at all, "PICTURES" is replaced with "ANIMATION", the structure and searchlights are cyan, and the searchlights move random directions.

Trivia: This was designed and animated at Gums Productions.

Variants: Only five as of now.
 * On trailers and on Devious Diesel For Hire, the logo is already formed.
 * On February 18, 2022 starting with Toolbox, the Kirby Studios byline is added below. This is unlike the main division, who is expected to have it exclusively on early prints of Magnet.
 * Like the main Fox Benedict Pictures logos, the video game versions of movies have either a still print version, or a portion of the animated logo.
 * On some commercials for Toolbox, the logo is on the left, with the Specks Industries logo on the right, and the Annapurna Pictures logo in the middle.
 * On Turning Red, the logo is tinted cherry red to fit with the movie's red panda theme.

Closing Titles:
 * Just the tail end of the logo. This was also seen at the beginning of Devious Diesel For Hire instead of the standard logo.
 * On The Ghost and Molly McGee (this logo's debut film), Toolbox, and Turning Red, the fully animated version is seen as a closing logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the first Fox Benedict Pictures logo.

Music/Sounds: The 1998 Fox fanfare arrangement.

Music/Sounds Variants: Seven in total.
 * On Flood Warning, the logo is silent.
 * On Devious Diesel For Hire, the opening theme of the movie is used instead.
 * On Toolbox, the 2002 FIP theme from the second FIP logo is used instead of the standard audio transcribed above.
 * The animated video game version uses the 20th Television theme.
 * The still video game variant is silent or uses the opening theme of the game.
 * The closing variant is usually silent, but on Toolbox, the ending theme of the movie plays over it.
 * On PAL prints of Fox Benedict Animation films (physical media and TV airings), the fanfare is higher pitched.

Availability: While it was only used for two years, it's still fairly common. This logo made its theatrical debut on the Walt Disney Pictures collaboration The Ghost and Molly McGee (although trailers and some commercials used the regular Fox Imperial/Benedict logo, and the final Globe Studios film FBP distributed), and it also appeared on the original release of Surf City (the only Nanaimo Bar Studios film to be distributed by Fox Benedict Animation), as well as Waste Management Crew, Flood Warning, Devious Diesel For Hire, and Toolbox, and as a variant on Turning Red. Also appears on the regional release of Ron's Gone Wrong. The final appearance of this logo will be Trucks 3. Also seen on The Ghost and Molly McGee: The Video Game and Shards: The Video Game. Current printings of Surf City have this plastered with the Loud Pictures logo, and the opening titles and copyright information modified to reflect the change in distribution, but sometimes leaving this logo's theme intact due to sloppy plastering.

Editor's Note: This is basically the Fox Benedict logo, except cheaply animated and tailor made for animated films. However, this possibly was a placeholder for the next logo. This was also criticized for the following: the fanfare was reused from the standard Fox Benedict logo, the animation looks pretty cheap, and the searchlights aren't moving like in the main Fox Benedict logo, and you might be surprised if you expected the regular Fox Benedict logo and got this instead.

2nd Logo (March 17, 2022, September 9, 2022-)
Logo: It's a massive redesign of the previous logo. This time, it has brand new camera panning, sleeker and redesigned searchlights, a different sky backdrop, the Kirby Studios byline added below, and the searchlights move normally. The logo now looks just like the 2009 20th Century Fox logo.

Trivia: This logo was designed and animated at Pixar Animation Studios, who also animated their own logo and the Pixar Animation Studios-exclusive Walt Disney Pictures logo.

Closing Title:
 * Just the finished product of the logo.

FX/SFX: Excellent CGI animation!

Music/Sounds: The Fox fanfare used in the previous logo, except it's reorchestrated to sound more powerful and prestigious than before.

Availability: Brand new. Unveiled on March 17, 2022, this logo is expected to premiere in theaters on the animated buddy comedy movie Chugging Bottles (produced with Specks Industries and MalamiteInk Films) on September 9, 2022, and will appear on subsequent releases after that.

Editor's Note: It is way more powerful than the previous logo. Nice animation from a famous animation studio along with a rearranged version of the beloved Fox theme makes it a winner, and a great way to celebrate the company's thirtieth anniversary.
