Background: This is the current name of the former production company originally known as Cinar established in 2004 by Michael Hirsh as subsidiary of the Cookie Jar Group after he left Nelvana Limited.
(2004- )
Nicknames: "The Cookie Jar", "The Exploding Jar", "Annoying Jar"
Logo: On a black background, we see COOKIEJAR (stacked) resting on a yellow oval and a lid on top with a byline saying "Cookie Jar is a trademark of Cookie Jar Entertainment". Suddenly, the lid flies off and two bright lights emerge out of the jar. The lid falls back down, tilted.
Variants:
On Gerald McBoingBoing, the logo is superimposed over the credits.
Sometimes, the logo simply zooms in, like on certain episodes of Arthur.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme plays over it. However, on (at least) The Doodlebops, a "pop" sound, followed by a playful synth-disco tune and a child giggling can be heard.
Music/Sound Variants:
There are kids that are saying "Cookie Jar!"
There is also a sound of a lid popping up and then clinging when the lid closes.
Availability: Appears on current episodes of Arthur, The Doodlebops, and Johnny Test. Also seen on Boomerang's reruns of the 2005 Teletoon/Cookie Jar/Classic Media remake of Gerald McBoingBoing, Now also appearing on shows that DiC originally showed like Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot and Strawberry Shortcake. Recent TV airings of The Busy World of Richard Scarry replace "A CINAR Presentation" on the in-credit logo with "A COOKIE JAR Presentation", with the '95 Paramount logo proceding it, as usual.
Scare Factor: Minimal; the sudden flying lid may catch a few off guard, but this is mostly just annoying.
