Children's Video Library (1985)

[MDthornton83]

Oh my God! I remember this! Geez its been so long ago, but this definitely rings a bell!

[TheKimberBenton]

The music sounds like its from the late 1970s.

[hutter2006]

which cartoon that used the same intro, it's when this boy walks into a rainbow and gets all rainbow colors on him and had to go to some kind of magic land with a fairy to get him restored?

[HexSabre]

A nostalgiabomb went off in my head!

[AxcelKaru]

A Recipe for Success.

[BetamaxBabe]

Yep, I remember this from Rainbow Brite tapes!

[ronthatus]

just makes me feel warm and cozy inside

[MaggieLovesJimmy]

Anytime I saw that little intro. as a kid, I knew I was in for a good show. :) Something about floating balloons and flutey music just made me happy as a kid. lol

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

THE CENTURIONS

[jellygoodnessify]

my child hood was freakin awesome damn i wish it could happen all over again.

[christy725]

I want my childhood back. lol

[videolover1999isback]

This was a short lived children's division of Vestron Video.

[befron2044]

@videolover1999isback until Lionsgate released all of the Children's Video Library/Vestron Video collection onto DVD (excluding Centurions and Rainbow Brite).

[Darkknight2001]

This came on right before "Rainbow Brite" all the time. LOL Awesome.

[mattyian1208]

poor videotape

[xheathermichelle]

my brother and i would rewind videos that had this logo and laugh hysterically at it. we even broke a tape/vcr once because of it HAHA!

[mattyian1208]

@xheathermichelle that is so sad :(

[xheathermichelle]

@mattyian1208 why is it sad? i think it's hilarious.

[shieldagent001]

I haven't seen this in years

[Jac2Mac]

I just got two Children's Video Library VHS tapes of the Raynham Flea Market today which are The Magic Pony and Benji Takes a Dive at Marineland and both are in clamshells. How rare are these two tapes that I just mentioned?

[goo83]

dude it feels like I saw this before just about everything I watched as a baby. and Hugga Bunch was one of them! good upload, just for the nostalgia.

[LauAndChaFilms]

HUGGA BUNCH! why not show the actual thing, that movie was creepy.....

[cmnoblin]

We had The Red Shoes and I think maybe The Elves and the Shoemaker under this

[hemanshera777]

Puff The Magic Dragon, The Adventures Of The Little Prince, Babar The Elephant and She-Ra Princess Of Power

so far, as far as I'm consirned, those are the only cartoons I know as of now that were released onto video under THAT brand

[quiktymevideo]

Oh, the joy of cheap, simplistic 80s logos and bumpers.

[rubinoos1]

Wow...this is older than me...lol...

[travelsonic]

I remember this logo - it was on my BHS copy of Puff the Magic Dragon [Jackie Draper].

[travelsonic]

@travelsonic VHS, not BHS

[ryanasaurus0077]

For those wondering, BHS is my high school, VHS is my preferred home video format.

[DisneyVideos2000]

What kind of music is that?

[DJCandyManMike]

@DisneyVideos2000

It's very circus-like to me. It sounds almost like something I might hear at a circus, but not quite 100% like it.

[kohoutekcorporation]

@DisneyVideos2000 Death metal. Satanic death metal.

[kcgogaga]

lol. the best. i must've watched huggabunch at least once a day.

[spennyrinko]

I've wondered for nearly a decade about where I could see this again.

Hardcore reminiscing occurring right now.

[RollChan1985]

I remember that logo LOL.

[NewController01]

I got this on a Superted video and a Go-Bot's video

[antdaman1983]

it used to be on tcotgb

[babygiraffe123]

I remember this from My Little Pony: Escape From Catrina, which my parents rented for me, ALL the time when I was a kid. Wonderful memories. : )

[MizBabyGirl]

I remember it used to be on Rainbow Brite's San Diego Zoo Adventure Video. I rented that when I was little.

[gshowguy]

I've got this on a tape of Teddy Ruxpin, specifically, the pilot that featured puppet versions of the characters.

[MashBananaPirate]

@gshowguy

That's where I remember it from.

[kungfujiapple]

Taken from a Vestron Video trailer for "Rainbow Brite", "Muppet Babies" and "Challenge of the Go-Bots" and a trailer for "She-Ra: Princess of Power". Yes, lemonsters08, this was also on "Wrinkles: In Need of Cuddles". I'm also pretty much sure that "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" (the 1979 Children's Television Workshop version produced by Bill Melendez Productions) also had this logo, too.

[LaddyDongdegs]

Don't you mean LaddyDongdegs

[unclesporkums]

I have this on "Daddy Long Legs".

[purepulp]

I LOVED this as a kid, it used to be on Rainbow Brite! I was a weird kid haha I loved (still love) production company jingles.

[lemonsters08]

Wasn't this on "Wrinkles In Need Of Cuddles"?

[AnnainCA]

Yes, definitely.

Neat to see this again! I loved Children's Video Library, particularly "The Magic Pony" and the anime version of "The Little Mermaid."
