Kijkwijzer

Background: Kijkwijzer is a Dutch-based rating system founded by the Nederlands Instituut voor de Classificatie van Audiovisuele Media (NCIAM).

(2002?-)

Bumper: On a teal background, we see the lime green word "KIJKWIJZER", with the "IJ"s altered so the "I"s are smaller and are resting in the "J"s. In between "KIJK" and "WIJZER", a weird creature with a black body and a huge eye as its head. A red chair slides in from the left and the creature sits on it. As the background changes to a black background with a teal spotlight and a teal border surrounding it, the word "KIJKWIJZER" fades out, and a green TV tube shape appears on the left of the screen. A black circle with the rating info on it pops up as the creature looks at it. Then everything fades out, leaving just the rating text, which then fades out.

Certification Symbols: AL -all ages TOUS -all ages (for French-language releases) 6 -not recommended for children under 6 9-not recommended for children under 9 12 -not suitable for people under 12 16 -not suitable for people under 16

Variant: On French-language releases, there is additional text below saying "Ce film vidéo convient (...à tous les âges" for TOUS releases) aux spectateurs âgés de (6/9/12/16) ans ou plus".

FX/SFX: Simple 2-D animation.

Music/Sounds: A hip-hop beat with some goofy sound effects. This was later changed to a short disco/pop-esque tune. Both versions can be either normal or low pitched.

Music/Sounds Variant: In the logo's early years, a funky-type tune was used.

Availability: Can be seen on some Kijkwijzer-certified DVDs. This is extremely common on Paramount/DreamWorks DVD/Blu-Ray releases if you usually select "Français Benelux" or "Netherlands/Dutch" in the language selection menu at the start.

Editor's Note: None.
