Once Upon A Time

Background
This is Stanley M. Brooks' production company and vanity card. It was founded in 1989, but no logo was used until the following year. The company name paid tribute to Sergio Leone's original Once Upon a Time film trilogy. In 2010, amidst losses from the company after filing a lawsuit between the AFTRA and the producer uver unpaid residuals of Sordid Lives: The Series, the company entered bankruptcy. The company would later be renamed to Stan & Deliver, and the original Once Upon a Time library was sold to Content Capital Films in 2013.

Logo (July 11, 1990-December 5, 2010)
Visuals: On a white background, there is a little kid laughing on a couch. He seems to be holding a remote. The logo zooms out and the text "Once Upon A Time" (with the "O" being larger than the rest) near the kid. He stops laughing and smiles. The screen fades to black in a "switch off" fashion as the kid points the remote at us.

Variants:
 * An early version of the logo exists where the zoom out animation was different, but the animation is still the same. The "switch off" transition was also different. This can be seen on Angel of Death, Wheels of Terror, Christmas in Connecticut, The Opposite Sex and How To Live With Them and Hostage For A Day.
 * Strangely, on the Disney+ print of The Ultimate Christmas Present, the first second of the logo repeats without sound before playing as normal, likely a sloppy editing tactic to remove an older Disney Channel logo.

Technique: Cartoon animation, designed and illustrated by Scott Nash at Corey McPherson Nash, and animated at Olive Jar Studios.

Audio: A piano tune performed by Mark Lane with the kid laughing, ending with a buzz sound; however, CBS airings use their generic theme instead.

Availability: Seen on The Ultimate Christmas Present. Was also seen on Wheels of Terror, Willie Nelson: The Big Six O, Angel of Death, Hostage for a Day, Quints, Gym Teacher: The Movie, Broken Trail and other TV-movies, which are hard to find. It also appeared on Survive the Night, but it hasn't been broadcast in a while. Its most recent appearances were on the opening of Prayers for Bobby, which is available on streaming services and on DVD, and On Strike for Christmas. After the latter film, this logo hasn't appeared on Brooks' other works, instead having the Stan and Deliver logo.
