MGM Kids Home Entertainment
Logo descriptions and captures by Logoboy95 and EnormousRat
Editions by Bob Fish
Background: MGM Kids was a kids and family division of MGM Home Entertainment. It was founded in 1995 as MGM/UA Family Entertainment. The company closed down in 2008 and was folded into MGM Home Entertainment.
Nickname: "Leo's Family"
Logo: The standard MGM logo is, as usual, posed against a blue shaded BG, but without "TRADE MARK", and lion cubs replace the drama mask. We see Leo inside a filmstrip circle with four filmstrips. The text "MGM/UA FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT", with two lines above and below the name, is at the bottom of the cubs. Leo roars once.
FX/SFX: Leo roaring.
Variant: There is a high-quality golden variant with no animation used in some games.
Music/Sounds: Only the MGM lion roaring, much like the movie logo.
Trivia: The lion depicted here is Leo, from the 1957 MGM logo.
Availability: Very common, can be found on the 1995 VHS release of The Pebble and the Penguin. Also survives on some interactive family-oriented games based on some cartoon movies. Seen on a 1998 print of The Princess Bride as well as the VHS release of All Dogs Go To Heaven 2.
Scare Factor: Low, unless you're afraid of the roar.
2nd Logo
(1998-2003)
Nickname: "Leo's Family Returns"
Logo: We have the same MGM lion and the cubs as before, inside a dark teal cutted oval on an orange shaded background. Underneath the lion is a golden drama mask. Above the logo is a golden bar that reads "MGM FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT". The lion roars twice.
FX/SFX: The lion roaring.
Music/Sounds: See MGM/UA Family Entertainment.
Availability: Uncommon. But it can be found on The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, Tom Saywer and more.
Scare Factor: Low, unless you're afraid of the roar.
3rd Logo
(2003-2008)
Nicknames: "Young Leo", "Little Leo", "The MGM Kids Cub", "Leo Jr."
Logo: On a blue background we see the white words "MGM KIDS" on a red
shadow effect zooming out to the bottom of the screen. We see a cub replacing Leo, inside a golden filmstrip circle, which starts growling and roaring and pushes the name. "MGM KIDS" starts wiggling twice.
Trivia: Unlike the movie logo, the lion depicted here is Leo Jr.
FX/SFX: The animation.
Music/Sounds: We hear Leo Jr. roaring.
Availability: Not used very often anymore, since MGM Kids was absorbed into MGM Home Entertainment, but still somewhat easy to find. This logo can be seen at the end of some trailers. Like the previous logos, this logo appears on the DVD releases of All Dogs Go to Heaven and All Dogs Go to Heaven 2. Some Hello Kitty DVD releases show the same logo also. It was also seen on the DVD release of the 1986 Clubhouse Pictures film The Adventures of the American Rabbit.
Scare Factor: Low, unless you're afraid of the roar.
