Fuji TV Movies

Background

Fuji TV Movies is the feature film division of Fuji TV that was formed in 2012.

1st Logo (2012?-2013?)

• 

Visuals: On a white background, a one-eyed minion (of the Despicable Me franchise fame) walks from the left side of the screen, pulling a rope with a similarly white monolith in it. As he pulls the monolith more, this reveals the text "Fuji TV Movies" in it, with "TV" enclosed in a box. The camera then zooms in as the Fuji TV Movies logo becomes flatter, and the dots of the "j" and the two "i"'s jump.

Technique: CGI by Illumination Studios Paris.

Audio: The minion (voiced by Pierre Coffin) talking to someone off-screen as he tries to pull the logo, and a loud "thud" sound as the screen zooms in.

Availability: Seen on some films such as Sunny Funny Classics.

2nd Logo (2013?-mid 2010s?)

• 

Visuals: The sequence starts again on a white background. Kevin (who would later appear in the 2015 film Minions) and another minion walk in from the left side of the screen, as the other minion pulls up a magnet, as it gets stuck to the right, with the minion holding on it. He then pulls a metallic block with a piece of paper with the Fuji TV Movies logo taped on it, as the minion gets squeezed underneath it. Kevin then pulls the magnet, and the minion then pops up with the same piece of paper, as the paper takes up the whole screen and ends in the same way as before.

Technique: Like the previous logo, CGI by Illumination Studios Paris.

Audio: The minions talking, along with some giggling at the end.

Availability: Seen on some films such as Like Father, Like Son.

3rd Logo (2015?-2019?)

• 

Visuals: On a white background similar to the previous two logos, the contents of the Fuji TV Movies logo fly as if were blown by a wind, with Bob hanging on a pink umbrella. As the logo positions, Bob lands on the empty box, as he adjusts his umbrella and "TV" fall on the box. Bob again gets blown by a wind as the logo centers and inverts colors.

Closing Variant: Just the last seconds of the logo, sometimes scrolling with the credits.

Technique: Like the previous two logos, CGI by Illumination Studios Paris.

Audio: First, there is sounds of wind howling, then Bob giggling, and another wind howling sound as Bob gets blown away again.

Availability: ^[Examples?]

4th Logo (2019?-)

• 

Visuals: There is a black background then a line appears as the letters pulling the vertical bars with "F" and "M" pushing then they joined together to form "Fuji TV Movies" with colorful dots and TV drops down between Fuji and Movies.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Unknown.
