Animated Channel Movies

1st Logo

(2002)

Nickname: "Movie Theater"

Logo: We see the seat view of a movie theater with a several HaHa-Barber, Singing Cartoons, and Animated Channel characters in the seats as the camera slowly zooms out. Then after a moment, the theater darkens leaving it pitch-black with many blinking eyeballs. The light from the projector shines on the audience, forming the 1992-2004 Animated Channel logo.

FX: A pretty nice combination of 2D and 3D animation that make great accuracy.

Music/Sounds: Chattering, blinking noises, and a projector running. Then a choir.

Availability: Appeared on The Cute but Powerful Girls Movie. Also appears on the Bob's Laboratory short Have Fun with the Chicken on The Cute but Powerful Girls Movie DVD.

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd Logo

(2006- )

Nickname: "TV-Ness"

Logo: On an ethereal sky background, a plasma television set with wings flies up, then stops. When this happens, characters from various AC originals pop out around the television. On the set, we see a fuzzy picture of the Animated Channel Movies logo (the AC logo with a gold banner reading "MOVIES" below). We then zoom up to the TV, whose picture clears up, and the ACM logo starts to shine. The logo situates itself into a letterbox format.

FX: The CGI effects that are accurate.

Music/Sounds: Three chimes when the TV flies up, then two orchestra hits (one when the TV stops, and the second when we zoom up to it). The sounds of children laughing are heard as the characters appear. At the end, a special AC tune is heard.

Availability: Currently in use; appears on several AC made-for-TV movies from 2006 onward.

Scare Factor: Low, due to the sudden appearance of the characters coming out of the TV.
