Background: Hollywood Pictures is one of The Walt Disney Company's several alternate movie divisions established in 1990 to produce films for teen and young-adult audience originally. After being dormant since 2001, the brand was re-activated in 2006 to produce genre films.
(1990- )
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".Variant: At the end of some Hollywood Pictures films such as Super Mario Bros., there is a silent variant.
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/SFX: The glowing of the light behind the sphinx, not much animation.
Cheesy Factor: 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. As a closing logo, the closing theme is used.used, or none.
Availability: Used for several high profile films during the 90s such as Arachnophobia, Tombstone, Nixon, Evita, Grosse Pointe Blank, and The Sixth Sense. It was retired in 2001, but reactivated in 2006, starting with the release of Stay Alive; however, as of December 2008, there are only two other movies released after 2006 with this logo: Primeval and The Invisible.
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.
