Jim Henson Pictures
Written and Compiled by Nicholas Aczel and Jeffrey Gray
(1997-2000)
Nickname: "Kermit the Director"
Logo: We zoom out of a motion picture camera lens with lasers flying about. The camera is being operated by Kermit the Frog himself (laughing) seated on a large crane extended way up into a metallic sky. As the crane moves away from us and Kermit and the crane go into silhouette, a laser writes the text "Jim Henson" (in its familiar font) as the word "PICTURES" in bright metallic letters zooms and turns to settle below. When the logo is formed, suddenly the crane takes a hard drop, notably startling Kermit. "Sorry!" is heard from Animal offscreen, followed by Kermit whispering "Hmmm. Sheesh.".
Variant: There is a version without the crane-drop gag, which is commonly found on DVD releases of The Muppet Show.
FX: Excellent CGI effects and animatronics; very realistic.
Music/Sounds: A majestic orchestral movie score with frogs croaking and crickets chirping at the end.
Availability: To date, the version with the crane-drop gag was only seen on two films: "Muppets from Space" and "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland". Current DVD prints of "The Muppet Movie" and other Jim Henson classics, as well as on "Buddy" (the first film with this logo) also have this logo, but the "crane drop" gag is cut and the finished logo just remains onscreen until the music fades out.
Scare Factor: Most likely minimal (unless the "crane drop" gag startles you), but this is a brilliantly produced and entertaining logo.

I like Kermit the Frog! I've never seen this logo with a "crane drop" gag around before!
