Both hands move around and dance for a while, before the hand on the left makes an OK sign, while the one on the right shows a thumbs up.

Between each time, we see silhouettes of a tree and a girl with a jump rope walking by. After the third jump, a silhouette of a cat walks by, stops, makes a weird "MEOW!" as a question mark appears above its had, and runs away. Then, the Nick Jr. stars slide in from the left and pause in a straight position.

FX/SFX: The stars jumping and later sliding, the silhouettes walking and running by.

Music/Sounds: A pizzicato piece with strings, mixed with the weird "MEOW!" from the cat, and a cartoon-style car-parking noise when the Nick Jr. logo slides into place.

Suddenly, the background changes into what looks like a circus, with Broadway lights, and red-orange yellow curtains on the top of the screen. The elephants start to dance, as the big elephant swings the calf up with his trunk. Then, the calf runs around the big elephant, as the background turns into a peaceful purple color with a light yellow frame around it and stars moving inside, and both the elephants get into their position.

FX/SFX: The elephants are 2D animation, but the background is claymation.

FX/SFX: 2D animation by Manhattoons.

Music/Sounds: A farm theme, with the pigs splashing in the mud, shaking the mud off, and snorting as they get into position.

Music/Sounds Variant: A more commonly used version has the sound of children talking instead of music, along with cartoony sound effects, and a high-pitched giggle at the very end.
