Echo Bridge Home Entertainment

(2000's-)


Logo: On a blue sky background with birds flying, there is a creek between land with green grass and fall trees. The camera eases back to reveal a light brown brick bridge with black rails. It eases back again to reveal it is in a box on a black background with "ECHO BRIDGE" on top and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" on bottom. The words shimmer. It then eases back and disappears and the words:

THE ENTERTAINMENT ALTERNATIVE FOR WHAT THE WORLD WANTS TO SEE

appear and ease back a bit. The lines appear one by one.

Variant:
 * At the end of programs, the company name doesn't shimmer and the lines appear all at one rather then one at a time.
 * On early releases, the company name merely reads "ECHO BRIDGE ENTERTAINMENT" and the ending notice does not appear.
 * On some episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation, the "ENTERTAINMENT" variant is cut to its last seconds.

FX/SFX: Very cheap computer animation.

Music/Sounds: Birds chirping and a short piano tune with a small whoosh at the end.

Music/Sound Variant: The short version of the last few seconds music.

Availability: Seen on DVD releases by the company, which are very common in bargain bins at grocery stores and Wal-Marts. The early version appears on the 2006 DVD release of The Black Hole. It's retained at the end of the Lionsgate reprints of the 2011 releases of How the Toys Saved Christmas and In Search of Santa.
