MGM+ Feature Presentation

(July 1, 2023-)
Logo: The 2021 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios logo plays as normal, with Leo already being revealed and without the bloom effects, starting with Leo's first roar. We zoom in closer to Leo and shift the camera around him until he is viewed in close-up from the side facing the right. We see him roar the second time from this view as the background turns from black to white with particles floating through the air. As Leo slides out of view to the left side of the screen, gold dust flies in from the right. It swirls around and bursts into the MGM+ logo in gold. "MGM+" slides to the left to allow room for the text "FEATURE PRESENTATION". The logo then disappears to make way for info on the rating of the following film.

Trivia: MGM+'s graphics package uses elements from the MGM logo, such as the filmstrip.

Variant: A version showing only the MGM+ logo, as well as a short version, exists.

Technique: CGI by Imaginary Forces, with assistance by AFX Creative, based on the 2021 MGM logo by Baked Studios. It can be seen on IF's website.

Audio: A combined version of the 1995 and 2008 Leo roar tracks, followed by an ambient note.

Availability: It was spotted on a July 1, 2023 airing of In the Line of Fire (1993), and a July 13, 2023 airing of Married to the Mob (1988), respectively.
