Background:
Hollywood Pictures is one of The Walt Disney Company's several alternate movie divisions established in 1990 to produce films for a more mature adult audience than Walt Disney Pictures originally. After being dormant since 2001, the brand was re-activated in 2006 to produce genre films.


(1990- )

Hollywood Pictures - CLG WikiHollywood Pictures - CLG Wiki

Nicknames: "The Sphinx That Stinks", "Hollywood Pictures Sphinx", "Weird Sphinx", "Sphinx of Boredom", "Sphinx of Annoyance"

Logo: On a black background, a blue moon glows behind an object, as the glow line increases to reveal the object as the famous Egyptian sphinx. The light dies down to a circle behind the logo, as three lines fade in below the logo, and below them the text "HOLLYWOOD PICTURES".

Earlier Variant: There is an earlier variant of the logo, where a box appears around the sphinx logo, with "HOLLYWOOD" above it and "PICTURES" below. It appeared on
Arachnophobia and Taking Care of Business.

FX: The glowing of the light behind the sphinx, not much animation.

Cheesy Factor: OK, there is a major problem with this logo. That being that it has nothing to do with the name of the company! What does a sphinx, a symbol of Egypt, have to do with a company called "HOLLYWOOD PICTURES"?! It just defies logic here...

Music/Sounds: An orchestral fanfare by Danny Elfman, composer of the Batman flicks.

Availability: Used for several high profile films during the 90s. It was retired in 2001, but reactivated in 2006, starting with the release of Stay Alive.

Scare Factor: None. This logo is very unpopular, as the concept is questionable, the animation line is minimal, and the fanfare is
uninspired, but its nothing scary.
