Lumberjack Rabbit (1953, Looney Tunes), The Looney Tunes Show (2011-2015): The shield shoots up towards us like normal... but overshoots its mark so that it looks like it's crashing into the screen! It then moves back to its normal position though. Originally made to be shown in 3-D.

PICTURES", in a cartoon-ish font, are on a bright red sign, with the word "Presents" in a red script font below. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Music Man (1962): We see a very large array of uniformed marchers moving forward, two further in front who are carrying on either side a wide red banner with the Warner Bros. logo on it. The camera then zooms in on the banner to show the usual logo with "PRESENTS" under it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Gypsy (1962): We start out with an orchestra on a stage. When the music starts, the outline of the shield is formed on a curtain, and then the inside afterward. The shield is gold. ________________________________________________________________________________________

Critic's Choice (1963): Cartoon posters of musicals appear one by one until they make up the background. Then the white shield from The Young Philadelphians fades in. ______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

'''What's Up, Doc? (1972):''' The logo is gold on a brown book. As we zoom out, we see a hand opening the book to the inside cover, and then to text which says "Warner Bros., A Warner Communications Company Presents". At the end of the movie, the final page reads "Distributed by Warner Bros.". The book is then closed to reveal the gold WB logo from the start.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Blazing Saddles (1974): The 1948-1967 WB shield blows up to start the movie. The words "WARNER BROS. PICTURES" are also glowing. Seen after the 1972 logo.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Late Show (1977): The logo features the 1937 shield without Jack L. Warner's name and the word "Presents". Apparently, this film was supposed to be a modern-day detective story with a 1940s feel to it.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979): A replica of the 1936-1964 Merrie Melodies cartoon intro (including red rings and a blue center) is used with the red and white WB shield and Bugs Bunny on the top of it saying "Eat your heart out, Burt Reynolds!" Only seen at the end of the movie.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Main Event (1979): The 1972 logo is on a purple background.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Time After Time (1979): The 1948-1967 WB shield zooms in on a cloudy background while the classic 30's fanfare plays in the background. Seen after the 1979 Orion/WB logo (which is plastered by the 1972 logo on later prints).

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982): It starts with the regular logo, then it has the \\' logo with a circle of the 40's cartoon logo which comes out of the \\'.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Killing Fields (1984): The 1984 logo starts off bylineless. Suddenly, the Warner Communications byline fades in.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________



The Goonies (1985): The logo fades to a skull with crossbones.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985): Instead of the regular WB logo, the movie opens with Oscar the Grouch singing the "Grouch Anthem" in a spoof of Patton. Afterwards, we get a brief 2-D animated segment where a cartoon Big Bird finds an air pump and a balloon. He inflates the balloon and it turns out to be a "W", which pops off and flies into the sky, where it morphs into the "W" in the "WB" shield as the rest of the shield forms around it. While this happens, Big Bird announces that "Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B." The movie begins afterward. This logo makes a surprise appearance on the TV movie Here's Looking at You, Warner Bros., where the Superman theme from John Williams is heard.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985): The inside of the shield has a forest green tint.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985): The PRESENTS variant of the 1984 logo (with the fanfare) makes a cameo at the beginning of the overblown film adaptation of Pee-wee Herman's adventure to find his bike. Pee-wee is visiting with the hobo character and his pals when it appears on the screen in the background.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Color Purple (1985): The logo has a very slight maroon tint.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (1985): At the very end of the film, instead of the regular 1972 closing logo, we see the "Distributed by" WB shield bug seen on movie posters from 1985-90, tinted in rainbow like the credits, and scrolling with the credits.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

One Crazy Summer (1986): The logo appears as normal. Then suddenly, it turns into a crudely drawn version of the shield, with wiggling clouds. The Warner Communications byline and clouds dissipate as an evil-looking animated pink bunny, who wears a red-white striped helicopter cap (like the one seen in the movie's animated segments) and has the picture of a No Rhino sign on his body, opens the WB shield from inside. He laughs, and then we zoom into his mouth, seeing the ONE CRAZY SUMMER title zoom in toward us.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

'''Who’s That Girl? (1987):''' The Warner Bros. logo with byline appears as animated on a granite background. We zoom up to the logo, the shield opens like a door, and out comes a cartoon Madonna, who closes the shield and poses sexy for the camera. The logo goes up and she moves down to make way for the opening credits.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988): The 1984 logo starts with only the sky background, but then the shield zooms in as it would on Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, stopping at its usual place, and then the Warner Communications byline fades in right below. A re-orchestrated version of the fanfare from the LT short You Oughta Be in Pictures starting with a roaring sound as the shield zooms in plays throughout. This comes directly after the Daffy Duck short Night of the Living Duck, which opens the film.

______________________________________________________________________________________



Batman (1989): The WB shield is a metallic orange, and the sky is dark blue. The Warner Communications byline is in a different font.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Second Sight (1989): The style of the WB shield and clouds typically seen on the scope aspect ratio is seen here in flat aspect ratio.

_______________________________________________________________________________________



Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990): Instead of the normal shield logo, a replica of the classic 1936-1964 WB "circles" cartoon logo comes up, with its text and minus the shield ("PICTURES, INC." is removed in favor of "A TIME WARNER COMPANY"). The shield then zooms up with Bugs Bunny riding it, and the text fades out. Daffy Duck then comes on screen, angrily pushes him off the shield ("50 years of you hogging the spotlight is ENOUGH!"), and tries to ride it... well, it doesn't work as good for him :) They also have another Looney Tunes-style ending, with Porky doing the usual "That's all Folks!" ending before Daffy, like before, complains of Porky hogging (no pun intended) the spotlight, saying "60 years of hogging the end title is enough". Daffy tries to say the end line, but like before, is stopped when the shield with Chuck Jones' credit comes out, hitting him in the face. He gets back up and weakly says "Fade out."

_______________________________________________________________________________________

My Blue Heaven (1990): The 1990 Time Warner shield logo has a somewhat reddish tone to it.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Warner Home Video movie intro (1990): The logo begins as usual (with Max Steiner's fanfare playing), until Bugs Bunny interrupts. He pops into the logo and tells the audience that the movie can't begin until you wish him a Happy Birthday. It then cuts to various Looney Tunes clips as a chorus sings "Happy Birthday to You". It then cuts back to Bugs looking rather satisfied. This appeared on an Italian VHS of Caddyshack and a UK VHS of Driving Miss Daisy.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

'''That "Blooper" Bunny! (1991):''' Opening: Instead of the normal shield logo, a recreation of "The Bullseye" logo with orange circles, black center and "Bugs Riding the Shield" animation comes up and it is similar to the 1950s Looney Tunes bumper, but the music now has an abridged and high pitched theme of the opening "What's Up, Doc?" music with the shield's "twanging" noise intact at the beginning, the title of the logo reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC.", and the text below the shield now reads "Presents" instead of "Present".

During the cartoon, at the end of the Bugs Bunny 51st and a 1/2 anniversary spectacular scene: We see a recreation of the 1950s Merrie Melodies "That's all Folks!" script closing logo, but after "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" appears, the logo stays for a few seconds. After that, the logo quickly shakes too fast, eventually burning up. Then, it cuts to a slide that reads "Earlier that Morning..." with a rooster crowing and the sun is behind the rooster. After that comes the old universal countdown leader screen.

Closing: A rather different ending plays instead of the usual "That's all Folks!" script logo, in which "That's all Folks!", in a different font (also turned counterclockwise), scrolls upward, followed by an outlined circle with an "X" in it appearing for a split-second.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers (1992): Opening: A recreation of "The Bullseye" logo with orange circles, black center and "Bugs Riding the Shield." Animation and music is similar to the 1940s Looney Tunes bumper, but the title of the logo reads "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC.," the text below the shield reads "Presents" instead of "Present", and the "LOONEY TUNES" title card reads below "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON MADE IN N.Y.C. AND BURBANK." The music is the 1955-1964 orchestration of "The Merry Go Round Broke Down."

Closing: We see a recreation of the 1943 Porky in the Drum logo, in which a badly animated "stereotype" version of Porky (whom, aside from also wearing pants, resembles a Terry Gilliam drawing) bursts out of the drum and tries to say his famous line in a pale voice imitation as outer-spacey sound-effects play in the background. An unamused Bugs enters from the left and kicks the fake Porky out (which crashes off screen), then grabs the real Porky and puts him in the drum where he belongs. Porky is surprised for a moment ("Oh, oops!"), then proceeds with his famous line and pose as Bugs exhaustively exits right, as the ending of the 1937-1938 "The Merry Go Round Broke Down" opening theme plays.

_______________________________________________________________________________________



Batman Returns (1992): Same as the original Batman, only with snow in the sky as well.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________



You've Got Mail (1998): The background changes into a computer screen and the WB logo moves to the upper-left corner. The logo also has computer sounds, which were deliberately made to sync up to the logo's animation. (If you notice, in the bottom right corner, there is an America Online icon, who Time Warner would coincidentally merge with in 2001)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Jack Frost (1998): The shield and the text is covered with snow and ice. Also, the cloud background is tinted in dark red.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and The Matrix Revolutions (2003): Current logos for all (also includes Village Roadshow), but the colors have been changed to a green tint and the graphics altered so they look "computerish".

_______________________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Various Australian Videos (1999): This was at the start of a commercial for the Australian theme park, Warner Bros Movie World (co-owned by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow). The ad was designed like a movie trailer. At the start of the trailer, the shield is more golden and metallic and is placed on a more realistic cloud background. The text on the banner omits the word "PICTURES" and the byline is changed to "A WARNER VILLAGE EXPERIENCE". This ad can be found on various Warner Bros. and Roadshow Entertainment videos.

______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Scooby-Doo (2002): Proceeds like normal until the music ends, when a chunk of the WB shield disappears with a Hanna-Barbera chomping sound effect as if it were bit out, and we hear Scooby-Doo do his famous laugh, and then a zoom out as the WB shield turns into a Scooby-Doo dog collar with the initials "SD" on it. Underneath is a "A Mystery Inc. Company" byline.
