My Plastic Badger

Background
In 2009, The Beedie Group started working with the Canadian company My Plastic Badger, and together they produced seasons two, three and four of Sanctuary.

(October 9, 2009-December 30, 2011)


Nicknames: "The Badger", "The Badger Roadkill", "The Plastic Badger", "The Roadkill", "The Sanctuary Logo"

Logo: On a stormy sky background, we see a cracked road in the desert that quickly pans down and stops. All of a sudden, a badger walks into the road, as a tree in the background is destroyed by lightning. Then, a truck drives on the road and the badger is run over, getting flattened like a cartoon. The badger pops back up like nothing happened, and walks away. The picture zooms out into a black background. Underneath the picture are the words "MY PLASTIC BADGER" written in a red font. Two seconds after, the badger appears inside a spotlight over the picture, casting a shadow. It then cuts to the Sanctuary 3 Productions Ltd. logo.

Variant: On some syndication prints of seasons 2-4 of Sanctuary from PPI Releasing, the logo is shortened to where the truck drives in and the badger is run over.

Technique: The thunderstorm in the background, and the badger and the road.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show along with lightning sounds and the truck driving. Also, there are the sounds of the badger, which are its footsteps, it popping back up, and what sounds like it saying "duh duh". The spotlight turning on is, naturally, accompanied by the sound of a spotlight turning on.

Availability: Only seen on Sanctuary from seasons 2 to 4.
