The Kerner Entertainment Company

Background
This is the production company of film producer Jordan Kerner.

(January 18, 2002-)
Logo: In a large black-and-white stadium, fireworks are being launched. The camera zooms out to a grandma and a little kid standing on a balcony, watching the action. It continues to zoom out through a tunnel entrance as the text

 T HE  K ERNER E NTERTAINMENT  C OMPANY

appears in a Copperplate Gothic font below.

Variants:
 * Starting with Charlotte's Web, the text " K ERNER" is replaced with "K." However, Smurfs: The Lost Village uses the original variant.
 * On The Smurfs 2, the fireworks are colored, and Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and Clumsy Smurf are seen sitting on the balcony watching the action.
 * On the 2003 version of A Wrinkle in Time, the logo is cut to the last few seconds.
 * An open matte version exists on 4:3 full-screen prints of films as well as 35mm film scan prints of post-2006 films starting with Charlotte's Web.
 * Starting with Clifford the Big Red Dog, the logo was enhanced. The sky is more detailed with stars and the tunnel entrance is extended. On the aforementioned film, however, after the logo completes, it turns into a drawing and pans down into the opening sequence.

Technique: The fireworks and the people turning their heads.

Music/Sounds: Usually the film's opening/closing theme plays over, but on Snow Dogs, George of the Jungle 2 and Clifford the Big Red Dog, a majestic fanfare is heard.

Availability: Common. This first appeared on Snow Dogs, and was later seen on George of the Jungle 2, Charlotte's Web, the Smurfs films, and most recently, Clifford the Big Red Dog.
