Cinema Management Group

Background
Cinema Management Group was founded in 2003 by Edward Noeltner. In 2004, the company acquired the right for the CGI animated film Hoodwinked!: The True Story of Red Riding Hood. CMG expanded its genre distribution with the indie film Reeker and the sequel No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker. CMG represents Moriah Films. CMG is noted for its distribution of animated films that spans such films as Adventures in Zambezia, Hoodwinked!, Khumba, The Legend of Sarila, Ratchet & Clank, Loving Vincent and Saving Santa over the past two decades. CMG facilitated the joint production of the film Ainbo: Spirit of the Amazon between the animation houses of Peru and Netherlands. The company has distributed the film to over half the world's cinema markets with an anticipated release in 2021. The film will emphasize the ecosystem of the Amazon and its diverse heritage and history in the form of a myth. The 2020s has posed a slight change in logistics due to the worldwide 2021 epidemic. However, the company is in full pursuit to distribute and produce its seven animated theatrical feature films that spans the continents. Currently in production for release in the 2020s decade is Ainbo: Spirit of the Amazon and Kayara by Tunche Films and Cool Beans; Seal Team by Triggerfish Studios; Canterville Ghost by Toonz Animation and Melmoth Productions, UK; Proud Princess by Luminar Films, Panda Bear in Africa by Katuni, Cool Beans, A Films, and Le Pacte; and Noah's Ark by Symbiosis and Gullane.

1st Logo (2012)
Logo: Its just a prototype of the next logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the next logo, only that somewhat choppier.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth theme accompanied by a choir of ladies singing what sounds like a spiritual chanting.

Availability: Only seen on trailers of Adventure in Zambezia.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (July 3, 2012-April 29, 2016)
Logo: On a dark background, we see what's supposed to be the light of a projector, zooming towards us. We then see three copies of the words "CMG" in purple mixing together as we see the words "CINEMA MANAGEMENT GROUP" below. The ending results is the purple letters "CMG" with the name of the company below.

FX/SFX: Simple yet quite good CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Seen on the films of the era distributed by the company, starting with Zambezia.

Editor's Note: The music is quite relaxing and it's got some nice CGI.

3rd Logo (April 29, 2016- )
Logo: We again start with the projector light zooming in the dark, as we get to it, we then see the 3D letters "CMG", now in a darker purple and with more "filling" rotating through the darkness, the animation ends when the letters stop rotating and stand still as the words "CINEMA MANAGEMENT GROUP" fade below.

FX/SFX: Even better CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos.

Availability: Current. It was first seen on international prints of Ratchet & Clank and it will probably be seen in the next movies distributed by them.

Editor's Note: The logo is even better than the last one.
