Background

Bristol Bay Productions was launched in 1995 by Howard and Karen Baldwin, taking its current name in 2003. The company was acquired by Anschultz Film Group and became a sister company to Walden Media, whom Anshultz also owns. Bristol Bay is currently dormant.

Crusader Entertainment

Logo (April 19, 2002-August 11, 2004)


Visuals: The screen fades into snowy mountains at sunset. As the camera moves back and the sky turns into night, a comet appears on the sky and explodes, leaving a light burst and the words "CRUSADER" and "ENTERTAINMENT".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An ascending piano fanfare ending in a majestic hit.

Availability: Seen on early 2000's films, including Swimming Upstream and Where The Red Fern Grows. Crusader were credited to 2005's A Sound of Thunder, due to that film being in production earlier on, but neither it nor Bristol Bay Productions' logo appeared on the film.

Bristol Bay Productions

Logo (October 29, 2004-January 18, 2008)


Visuals: The screen zooms through the trees into a silhouette scenery (except the lake) with the northern lights and a wolf standing on the rock. A computer generated lake is seen with the reflection in the scenery. As the camera stops zooming, the wolf turns its head right, the northern lights turn into a tornado-shaped Milky Way and then the words "BRISTOL BAY PRODUCTIONS" appear.

Variant: On Sahara, there was a coin flipping in the logo.

Technique: CGI by The Ether.

Audio: The reorchestrated version of the fanfare from the Crusader Entertainment logo. Otherwise, silence or the opening theme.

Availability: Seen on Ray, Sahara, The Game of Their Lives, Amazing Grace and The Great Buck Howard.
