Visuals: On a light blue background, the stacked text "FAmiLY MATinee" in a retro font zooms in. After this, the 1968 Paramount Pictures mountain logo, in a white circle with a red outline, comes out of the text. After this, two halves of an outlined square, with two stars on both sides, draws in, and then fills in white when it finishes drawing.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: An explosion like sound is heard, and then two retro telephone like sounds when the line forms, and then a ding sound after this.
Availability: Seen on a re-issue trailer for The Wishing Machine.
