Sandollar

(1991-)

Nickname : "The My Neighbor Totoro Logo"

Logo : On a blue background,we see a illustrated drawing of the character Totoro from the film My Neighbor Totoro. The Japanese characters "スタジオジブリ作品" are seen on the bottom right, and underneath that is "STUDIO GHIBLI" in futura,with a line above it.

Variants :
 * On the 1994 Fox Video VHS of My Neighbor Totoro, the background fades to black after the logo fades out.
 * In 2005, starting with Howl's Moving Castle, it was updated to a dark blue background, from the previous light blue.
 * A special variant was seen on the Ghiblies: Episode 2 trailer. The image of Totoro is slightly off-center, then it rotates to reveal a character from the show using a laptop. He removes "ジブリ作品" using his laptop, then re-enters it as "ギブリ作品", making it "スタジオギブリ作品" (Sutajio Giburi, an alternate spelling of the Japanese name).

FX/SFX : None, except for the fade in and fade out.

Music/Sounds : None, or the opening theme of the movie. Music/Sounds Variants : *On the German dubbings of Howls Moving Castle and Nausicaä: Valley of the Wind, it uses the last half of the VIP Media Group fanfare (likely due to a reverse plaster). This oddity can be seen on the Region 2 DVDs of the after mentioned titles.

Availability : Current. Debuted on Only Yesterday. It was also seen on new prints of Studio Ghibli movies before 1991 such as Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service among others. It plastered the Emotion and Toho logos on newer prints of Grave of the Fireflies. Scare Factor : None.
