Logo: Against a table with some toys in a kid's room, there is a fishbowl, the camera approaches to the fishbowl to see that there's no fish in there, then the camera goes to the right of the table and we see some water splashes. Then the camera fastly moves to another part of the table where we see a toy aeroplane. Inside the aeroplane, there's a friendly looking, with white dots and stripes fish with a scarf. The fish puts on pilot glasses and starts to fly in the aeroplane, escaping of the house, and flying through a landscape. Later, we see that all the landscape is inside the "I" of the word "Triggerfish" in blue and backwards. In every letter there's a different landscape, the "T" has the moon, the "R" has a city, the dot on the "I" has a volcano, the first "G" has a circus, the second "G" has a forest and the rest of the letters are unreadable. The logo turns and the background turns. Now we only see the word "Triggerfish" is now not in backwards and completly in. Below it is "animation studios" in lowercase.

Variant: On Seal Team, the logo is shortened.

Technique: Very good CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: It opens with some water splashing sounds, then a mysterious musical sound and when we see the aeroplane, the music turns into a heroic fanfare. Otherwise, the opening theme of the film.

Availability: Common. Seen on Adventures in Zambezia, Khumba and Seal Team.
