Hollywood Pictures logo (1993)

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

tell me why this is so similiar to the Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings theme, you know, the bit where Aragorn, Gmili and Legolas are running in the mountains on the Two Towers movie.

[Stef076]

Disney released some great movies under the Hollywood Pictures label like The Sixth Sense, Crimson Tide, While You Were Sleeping, The Rock, Arachnophia, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. So sad it's closed now.

[Pokemonfan12ful]

it's from the prestige.

[BoyAmericaTV]

There used to be a saying in Hollywood town: "IF IT'S THE SPHINX, IT STINKS" lol

[levanyzzuf]

@BoyAmericaTV That's probably true. But when I was a kid growing up in the mid-nineties, it was a sure stamp of quality! I can't think of any film released from this studo that I still watch today aside from Tombstone.

[CjHN21]

@BoyAmericaTV

you should just go to hell!

[patriot3dx]

blood in blood out!!!!!

[Caro0770]

I ripped from Super Mario Bros. The Movie.

[lucasparamount2]

Ask You Video Dellear About This Hit Title From Walt Disney Home Video

[systemoperator]

No, the 1990 logo is a prototype, you f***er!

[narutoeagle777]

Related to Disney

[systemoperator]

This is from 1991, you idiot!

[systemoperator]

He's not listening to me, meaning he's an idiot!

[bloodymeerkat78]

oh ok.

[rev115spikafrever]

Sometimes the old logos are better,like this one!It reminds me of some classic movies.

[dantro78]

I think Danny Elfman composed this fanfare. He probably got 10 grand for 10 seconds of music.

[CrazyGamerGuy]

This Was On Super Mario Bros. The Movie (1993).

[ApeEscaper493]

He's right.

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

I remember that logo, they later did the same thing with the new logo for Disneynature, because of the castle that was made out of iceberg. Disneynature was a clone of the Hollywood Pictures logo as seen here.

[deathboy126]

dats da ARAB sphinx on sahara desert U LIKE COLUMBIA

[jippolippo23]

its an egyptian sphinx.....

[calaforniaman]

If you put the Castle Rock Entertaniment theme over this logo, it actually looks real!

[NamelessFlux]

if it's the sphinx it stinks!  LOL

[GizmoRox94]

This was seen on "The Sixt Sense" and "Stay Alive"

[fabrizionewyork]

thi is great!

[systemoperator]

Because I didn't noticed until now.

[systemoperator]

Yes, it should be. It should be 1991 because "One Good Cop" and "V.I. Warshawski" have it.

[systemoperator]

It should be changed.

[maxsiebel]

i created that logo!,dont remember when. drew it in black ink, they sent me 500 bucks and i never heard about it again. think they all died.

[BigEOT3]

The laughing stock of the film industry.

[gitar5]

fuck!!

[IconMatthew1]

This logo never made sense to me

[ASACAPRA]

Dere's 2 versions made of One good Cop.

[systemoperator]

OMFG, it's from 1990 'cause dat's when studio was 1st created.

[Marbles471]

Hollywood Pictures is dead now as a label, but at one point, Disney had at least five different labels for producing films:

Walt Disney Pictures

Touchstone Pictures

Hollywood Pictures

Miramax Films

Dimension Films (This one kills me. I love going around telling people "Hey, guess what? 'Scream' was a Disney movie!' :)

Hollywood is dead, Miramax split from Disney, and I think Dimension won back its independence. Touchstone as far as I know is still used.

[phil402]

Yeah, Scream's a great kids' film, isn't it?

[ShaDeed329]

Miramax is still with Disney. You mean Dimension Films split with Disney. Hollywood Pictures was revived years ago as Disney's Screen Gems label.

[Marbles471]

I'd thought Miramax had split off from them. I know they just ABOUT to, recently. Maybe something changed at the last minute?

As for Screen Gems, that's not Disney---that's been an alternate label for Columbia Pictures, or various divisions of it, since at least the 1930s.

[THX256]

Danny Elfman compsed the music for this.

[systemoperator]

No, it's from 1990 'cause dat's when studio was 1st created.

[Aubster06]

I think Arachnophobia was the first movie to use this logo, but I am not entirely sure. I do know that this logo first debuted in 1990.

[systemoperator]

Actually, this logo is from 1991. The first movie "Arachnophbia" had this logo in a box. So, this logo is from 1991.

[Aubster06]

okey-doke.

[jonghyunchung]

It also appeared the same date the gold WDHV logo premiered.

[systemoperator]

Nope, they used it earlier than that.

[MotherBoardsPictures]

I believe this is from 1992 because it's on Medicine Man.

[systemoperator]

No, it's from 1990 'cause dat's when studio was 1st created.

[Gabrielkat]

Both of you are wrong; this logo is from 1991.

[systemoperator]

I said that a long time ago.

[ShaDeed329]

Gabriel is right. It's 1991 because in 1990, it was in a box.

[systemoperator]

It was a long time ago I said that!

[ShaDeed329]

You said 1990. Not "A long time ago"

[systemoperator]

5 Months is a long time ago, now I've changed!

[naturewoman28]

Cool!
