Visuals: On a black background, we see a multicolour pencil scrabble, drawing itself the word "Sleepy" in a strechted Arial font. While the background enlights to become a grainy paper surface, the text turns light blue with lines and, the word "kids" appears vertically in Garamond Italic. Below, there's written "The Sleepy Kid Company Limited".

Technique: 2D animation effects.

Audio: Sounds of a scrabbling pencil, followed by a 5-note chime.

Availability: Only seen on the third and final season of Budgie the Little Helicopter.
