Visuals: On a white canvas background, paint strokes rise from the top and bottom portions of the screen. These strokes would form a dark forest setting while not only releasing silhouettes of birds but also the text "LAVA BEAR" in a stylized, blocky font and "A RELIANCE ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" in a normal font, both of which are in white. After the background becomes dark, it can be seen glittering.

Technique: 2D animation by Manija Emran.

Audio: A soft and slow-moving three-note piano melody composed by Echolab, accompanied with nature sounds such as a river flowing and birds flying. Otherwise, it's the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: It debuted on The Rover and can be seen on their other films such as The Forest and Arrival.
