Talk:What if different companies released different titles?: Difference between revisions

== DIC Toon-Time Video tapes ==

 

 

One thing that concerns me, though, is that the late '80s Golden Book Video releases of the Season 2 Heathcliff videos (including the season 2 Cats & Company video I'd also mentioned) do not preserve the 1984-1988 LBS Communications, Inc. logo (which originally followed the videotaped Green DIC "Vortex" logo (with eight-note synth fanfare)). Instead, on the first few Golden Book Video Heathcliff videos (from 1987), although the DIC "Vortex" logo is retained, the still DIC Video logo (which is at the beginning of those first few videos) appears afterward plastering over the LBS Communications, Inc. logo; meanwhile, on the later Golden Book Video Heathcliff videos from 1988-1989 (including the Cats & Company video), a warp-speed 1987-1990 DIC "Kid in Bed" logo, either with an extended still of the finished logo with the fanfare for the long version of the logo and a cheesy registered trademark symbol, or with the fanfare for the warp-speed logo and either a 1987 "TM" trademark symbol or a 1988-1990 proper registered trademark symbol, appears at the end plastering over both the DIC "Vortex" and LBS logos (at the beginning of those videos, a variant with the still of the finished logo, either the "TM" symbol or the registered symbol, and "PRESENTS" being formed, is used). But AFAIK, the BVHV releases of DIC programming usually retained other companies' logos that followed the DIC logo, depending on who co-produced or distributed the program.

 

For the cartoon releases, would the shorts be sourced from Patnel Productions prints? (The prints where a certain part of the short's opening credits sequence is usually presented in a still frame plastering over whatever logos, credits and/or references were previously at the beginning of the film master itself, and there would usually be a still frame of a "The End" card plastering over whatever logos, credits and/or references were previously at the end; these particular prints were first used on releases from Viking Entertainment's Viking Video Classics (later became Troy Gold in 1988, only to be merged into Burbank Video the following year) label, as well as Conrad Sprout's Hollywood Select Video label, which Viking Entertainment was the original marketing, distribution and sales agent for until 1987 when Timeless Video took over as the agent) Also, would some of the shorts on these releases (including the Warner Bros. shorts, mostly the pre-1948 color ones that were owned by MGM/UA at the time) be low-pitched?
