Funbag Animation Studios

Background

Funbag Animation Studios was a Canadian animation studio based in Ottawa, Ontario providing production services on many animated series. It was founded in 1992, but they did not have an on-screen logo until 1998. On April 29, 2007, the company closed down due to a decline in business and some of it's employees at the studio founded New Bike Entertainment to secure Funbag's assets.

1st Logo (April 12, 1998-2005)

Nicknames: "The Paperbag", "The Funbag", "Laughing Bag", "Yeah, Yeah We're The Eggs"

Logo: On a white background, a paperbag with a face and cut at the top in the middle laughs while moving to the right before freezing. As it does, a purple oval is formed behind it. The letters "N" (in green), "A" (in pink), "U" (in yellow), "G" (in teal), "F" (in blue), and "B" (in red) respectively fall from the top of the screen to spell "FUNBAG", all in a crooked position separated from each other.

Variants:

There was an extended version in which the bag blows, holding his breath and various items then fly off the bag. Eventually the animation continues as normal.
An in-credit version appears on The Mole Sisters and Faireez.
Another in-credit version appears on Toad Patrol where it lacks the background and the letters are all in a different color; the "F" in red, the "U" in purple, the "N" in orange, the "B" in blue, the "A" in yellow, and the "G" in green.

FX/SFX: Hand-drawn animation.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme. On The Tale of the Great Bunny, we heard a crumble sound, followed by the pop and a strange laugh with falling sound. The ending consist in a synth orchestral hit.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Anthony Ant, the last two seasons of Freaky Stories, Toad Patrol, The Mole Sisters, King, Just Jamie, The Eggs, and Faireez. Its first appearance was at the end of The Tale of the Great Bunny.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (November 5, 2000-December 16, 2001)

Nicknames: "The Paperbag II", "The Funbag II", "Laughing Bag II"

Logo: On a beige woven background, the same paperbag from before appears but is now completely still and the oval is dark blue with a black border. "FUNBAG" appears below jiggling in large 3-D letters (resembling alphabet fridge magnets) with each one out of position and in a different color; the "F" in purple, the "U" in dark red, the "N" in green, the "B" in red, the "A" in blue, and the "G" in light green. "ANIMATION STUDIOS" appears underneath in light yellow.

FX/SFX: The letters in "FUNBAG" jiggling about.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Ultra rare. Only seen on For Better or Worse.

Editor's Note: None.
