Kung Fu Panda (2008) and Secrets of the Furious Five (2008): The logo starts out with an animal wearing a hat climbing up houses and clouds and working its way up until he reaches the moon. It sits on the moon and takes out a fishing rod, which he uses to pull up the rest of the DreamWorks Animation logo. The logo is done in the animation style used in the beginning of the movie. On Secrets of the Furious Five, the logo fades in a little later.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008): The logo plays normally, until Skipper hits the boy and drags him through the moon! A fight can be heard and soon the penguins appear together. Skipper then uses the rod to catch a fish, saying, "Well done, boys. Looks like ice cold sushi for breakfast." They all do their high-fives as the camera pans down to start the movie.

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009): This is the last film to use the 2004-2009 logo. The logo is in black and white, and while the logo is almost over, a UFO hovers over the moon and abducts the boy on the moon, then it burns up to start the movie.

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011): The logo starts out over a row of houses. Several flower petals from a couple of peach trees are blown up to the sky, where the moon is residing. The flower petals then form the spirit of Master Oogway, who brings up the rest of the logo from below with a fishing rod (similar to the logo variant from the first film). The logo is also in the animation style used in the beginning of the movie, just like in the first film.

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016): The logo starts with Po running up a mountain with stairs, and getting increasingly tired while doing so. When he reaches the top, he says "Okay, guys, just start without me", but then flops onto the moon next to the mountain's summit, gets comfortable and pulls out a fishing rod to bring up the rest of the logo (like the variants for the first two films above). This is all done in the same animation style as the variants from the previous films.

The Boss Baby (2017): The logo is in the form of a mobile on the background, with the text at the top and the print version of the boy on the moon (4 of them, for that matter) can be seen hanging from it, along with other various objects usually seen on a mobile.
