Strand Home Video

Strand Home Video that have been released by Video Collection International Ltd.

Logo: On a starry sky background, we see a gray model of the Earth spin around from the bottom left of the screen. When it finishes spinning, a star begins to shine on London of the United Kingdom before it keeps doing that. After it stops at North America, a white grid pattern is wiped onto the globe from top to bottom. A black 3D rectangle flips from the top of the screen. "STRAND", in a Windsor Elognated font in a red rectangle, flies from the right of the screen. Once they come together, they flash and the "HOME VIDEO" text appears, in a Futura font.

Trivia: Since Strand Home Video was the American counterpart of The Video Collection, a white spark appears on the globe right where London is.

FX/SFX: Early CGI.

Music/Sounds: The VCI music from 1986, but it is slightly shortned at the start beginning with the whoosh.

Availability: Can be seen on later Thomas the Tank Engine releases in the US from 1992 to 1994. Also seen on Kino's Storytime.

Scare Factor: Same as the VCI logo.
