Logo descriptions and captures by mr3urious


(1993-1996)

Nickname: "The Lite-Brite Logo"

Logo: Against a black BG, the words "LIGHTMOTIVE" fade into view via a "rainbow dust" effect. The text is written in a tall, fancy serif font and is surrounded by a box, which has changed from rainbow-colored to solid white during the transition. The text then transitions to the words "ALLIED FILMMAKERS" via a "double wipe" effect. Both texts are colored in various rainbow colors. The logo fades away.

Variant: On James and the Giant Peach, the ''LIGHTMOTIVE'' animation is cut.

FX/Cheesy Factor: Off the charts. All the effects used in this logo are extremely cheap and look like it was animated using a Lite-Brite via stop-motion. Also, the music sounds as if it were recorded off a cassette recorder.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme to the movie, i.e., the overworld theme from Super Mario Bros. 1.

Availability: Can only be found on the infamous Super Mario Bros. movie. The short version can be seen on James and the Giant Peach.

Scare Factor: None; you'll just be laughing at how bad it is.
