Visuals: On a brown/black background is the MGM lion. It's like the 1984 logo minus the "DIAMOND JUBILEE" and "SIXTY YEARS OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT". Leo roars once. After that, the logo disappears and a golden filmreel appears and revolves. Then many circle outlines in rainbow colors expand from the middle of the filmreel. When they cover up the filmreel, they disappear back into the middle. As it does this, it wipes the words

in white. Then it shows the preview for the movie.

Technique: Live-action and CGI.

Audio: The first roar of the 1960 roar track with a male announcer (Doug Paul) saying "Next on the MGM/UA Premiere Network..." and then goes on to explain about the movie being shown.

Audio Variant: There was another male announcer (John Leader) later on that started speaking before Leo roars.
