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 (possibly based on the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum) fireworks are being launched. The camera pulls back to reveal a grandma and her grandson standing on a balcony, watching the action. It continues to pull back through a tunnel entrance as the text

 T HE  K ERNER E NTERTAINMENT  C OMPANY

zooms out below in a Copperplate Gothic font.

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 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 has been enhanced. Here, the sky and stars are brighter and the tunnel entrance is extended.

Custom Variants:


 * The Smurfs 2: The fireworks are, Papa Smurf is sitting next to the grandma, and Smurfette and Clumsy Smurf are sitting next to the grandson.
 * Clifford the Big Red Dog: After the logo finishes, it turns into a drawing, segueing into the opening sequence.

Technique: A mix of CGI and live-action.

Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare composed by John Debney. Usually, however, the film's opening/closing theme 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.
