ImageMovers

Background
ImageMovers was founded as "South Side Amusement Company" in 1984 by Robert Zemeckis. It was rebranded to its current name in 1997. Until 1999, ImageMovers did not use a logo. In 2007, ImageMovers was bought by Disney, and was renamed to ImageMovers Digital. Their first feature film at that time, A Christmas Carol, was a box office hit, but their second film, Mars Needs Moms, was a financial failure, which resulted in Disney announcing the studio's closure in January 2011. However, in August, it was announced that the studio would re-open and made a 2-year deal with Universal Pictures.

(September 13, 1999- )
Logo: On a black background, a light shines through the lower-middle-left of the screen. It later dies down, revealing a train that bears a resemblance to the Reading Streamlined Crusader that moves forward, with the text "IMAGEMOVERS" slowly swinging in and stretching underneath the train. When the train gets fully to the screen, the screen flashes, and the text appears fully underneath the train in a - color, as the train becomes a still image and has the back trains on it turning into filmstrips. The logo slowly zooms out when it is completed.

Variants:
 * There is also an early version where the train and text are more brown and silver looking, and the flash is faster, and not as bright.
 * On some films, the logo is still.
 * On The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio, the logo cuts off early.
 * Sometimes, the logo is brighter.
 * On 4:3 and widescreen prints of the end of The Polar Express and many films from 2006 onward, the logo zooms out to a much farther distance than usual.

Print Logo Variants:
 * At the end of The Polar Express, the logo is smaller and tinted in (like the preceding closing credits). Same goes with the following still Playtone logo. This variant also appears on 4:3 prints.
 * At the end of The Walk, the print logo scrolls up with the rest of the credits.
 * At the end of Pinocchio (2022), it's still.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic fanfare with some train sounds, composed by Alan Silvestri.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The still version is silent.
 * On The Walk, the closing theme plays underneath.

Availability: Uncommon. The regular version can be seen on Cast Away, What Lies Beneath, Monster House, and Flight. Sometimes, like on Last Holiday and Real Steel, this logo isn't shown. This logo also appears at the end of Beowulf and Pinocchio (2022).

(November 6, 2009-March 11, 2011)
Logo: On a black background, a sphere quickly zooms in, with a building reflected in it. Then two steel pillars come in from beyond, making the sphere between them. More pillars come in various angles, pass over and place themselves like a staircase, where there are four steps referred as "IM", and a polygon block below, resembling the letter "D". The sphere appears to be above "D". The name "IMAGEMOVERSDIGITAL" fades in with a line above it.

Variants:
 * At the end of movies, a small copyright stamp (© IMD) can be seen on the bottom-right.
 * On Mars Needs Moms, the sphere is replaced by Mars.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The opening/closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Only seen on A Christmas Carol and Mars Needs Moms.
