Draft:Playhouse Disney

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


1st ID (1999-2001?)


Visuals: As well as the idents, at the end is the Playhouse Disney logo (the Disney Channel logo with the channel text is gone and at the top is "playhouse" in , ,and ).

Technique: Unknown.

Audio: Unknown.

2nd ID (2000-2003?)


Visuals: We see the 1999-2002 Playhouse Disney logo. Then a rocket appears, flying up to the screen. We cut to the rocket diving into an ocean. Then we cut to clips of various Playhouse Disney shows of the era (PB&J Otter, Out of the Box, Bear in the Big Blue House, The Book of Pooh, Madeline, The Little Mermaid, Rolie Polie Olie, and the lost Stanley pilot) and their logos, as well as some kids playing. At the end, Olie from Rolie Polie Olie crashes into the screen and we cut back to the Playhouse Disney logo.

Variants:

  • When this aired on Playhouse Disney as a promo, some of the clips were different.
  • Originally, there were clips from The Book of Pooh and Out of the Box instead of clips from the lost Stanley pilot.
  • In 2002, the clips were changed to reflect the rebrand of the Playhouse Disney block.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A jazz/techno theme with a man scatting throughout and a deep voice saying "Groove it on..." known as "Scatterbrain" by Andrew Blythe and Marten Joustra. There are also several sound effects (whooshes, an explosion, Hanna-Barbera sounds, etc.).

Audio Variants:

  • On VHS tapes, the deep voice is absent and then-current Playhouse Disney announcer Allyce Beasley says "Playhouse Disney! Every morning, only on... Disney Channel!"
  • When this aired on Playhouse Disney as a promo, the theme and sound effects were slightly different.
  • The post-2001 promos have relatively few sound effects and Allyce Beasley saying "Catch [NAME OF SHOW] every morning inside Playhouse Disney, where learning is powered by imagination!"

Availability: Preserved on VHS tapes of The Book of Pooh and Rolie Polie Olie.
