The ident dates to CINAR's mid-1980s logo, when the Montreal-based company was shifting from distribution toward producing family television. Its programmes later included The Little Lulu Show, Animal Crackers, Mona the Vampire and The Busy World of Richard Scarry, alongside its best-known hits Arthur, Zoboomafoo and Caillou. As clips of old intros circulated online, the short jingle became a shorthand for that era of children's TV, and creators now reuse it to signal nostalgia, parody a studio logo, or open a retro-themed edit.

The 1985 CINAR jingle from the Canadian animation studio's logo, a short bright musical ident used in nostalgic TV intros and retro logo edits.
The CINAR 1985 jingle is the short musical ident that played over the Canadian studio's animated logo at the start of its children's programmes. It is a bright, upbeat orchestral flourish, light and playful in tone, with a rising melody that resolves in a warm, confident chord, lasting just under ten seconds. Hearing it instantly signals a Saturday-morning cartoon, even before any character appears, and for viewers who grew up with Arthur, Caillou or Zoboomafoo it carries a strong wave of nostalgia. The sound feels cheerful, polished and unmistakably tied to 1980s and 1990s family television.
