Oblisk Animation Studios

Background
Paul Z. Oblisk (b. 1956) founded this company in 1985. He is famous for combining live-action and animation in his shows. The show that he is most famous for is Doug's Dear Journal starring a live-action boy Vince Martin (b. 1980) and an animated cartoon character named Doug Funnie. Oblisk also produced Peanut Butter and Jelly Otters (1987-2000), Dunbar Dog (1985-1990), and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2011-present). The last two were also made by Oblisk's division, Viman Studios. The company was acquired by Loud Industries in 2018.

1st Logo

(1986-1987 1999)

Oblisk Animation Studios (1986-1987)

Nicknames: "Oh, boys! Time to play HOUSE!", "I Hate Angelica Pickles!" The Reason Why I Never Watch The Oblisk Shows That Had This Logo"

Logo: On a black background, we see Angelica Pickles in her normal face. Suddenly, the words "OBLISK PRODUCTIONS" in red fade in. After that, Angelica's face turns evil and her hair raised up, hornlike. She says "Oh, boys! Time to play HOUSE!" and laughs evilly.

Variants:

On the pilot episode of Doug's Dear Journal, the logo is still and the background contains 3D squares. Also, Angelica wears a necklace and says "I will be Invincible!!" (a lyric from "Invincible" by Pat Benatar)

On the Peanut Butter and Jelly Otters special episode "Halloween Panic" (1987), Angelica's face is replaced by a live-action video of an animated ghost decor dancing.

On the 1986 special Good Vs Bad, Angelica is replaced with Tommy Pickle's clown face.

On the 1999 show "Stella", Angelica's head is replaced by Stella and she only blinks. Season 2 has Stella destroying the entire logo, including the face.

Trivia:

This logo was animated at Enterprise Stations Studios in Hazard, Kentucky, USA.

The animation of this logo was later used in the Rugrats episode "What The Big People Do". This logo also made a shocking appearance on one airing of that said episode.

The animation of this logo in the Good Vs. Evil variant was later used in the Rugrats episode "In the Dreamtime".

The ghost from the "Halloween Panic" variant is an animated Halloween ornament decoration that can be found on the Internet, and some stores, around Halloween.

FX/SFX: The animation of the face.

Music/Sounds: A female voiceover saying "A production of Oblisk Animation Studios." or "(show's name) is a production of Oblisk Animation Studios in Hazard, Kentucky", then a scary synthesizer jingle with Angelica saying "Oh, boys! Time to play HOUSE!" and laughing evilly.

Music/Sounds Variants:

Peanut Butter and Jelly Otters special episode "Halloween Panic", Peanut's (one of the characters from the show) voiceover says "Ladies and Gentlemen, the ghost is going to scare you!" The ghost then makes scary warbling noises while dancing.

On the pilot episode of Doug's Dear Journal, the music is "Invincible" by Pat Benatar.

On Good Vs Bad, the reversed version of "Love Gun" by KISS plays with Tommy saying "HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HAHAHAHA!" in his high-pitched voice.

On the 1999 show "Stella", the voiceover and the music are replaced by Stella saying "Whoa! Deja Vu!". Season 2 had demolition sounds and there's no voiceover.

On the pilot episode of Stella, the voiceover is omitted and DoodleBob (from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Frankendoodle") does Angelica's line in gibberish.

Availability: Rare; this logo was seen on The Adventures of Doug (1985-1987), the first season of Peanut Butter and Jelly Otters (1987), and the pilot episode of Doug's Dear Journal.

Editor's Note: This will definitely upset Rugrats fans, due to Angelica Pickles' evil laugh.
