*On some films, the 1998 alternate fanfare is high-toned. Notable films that are being played in high tone on NTSC prints are: ''Zathura: A Space Adventure'', ''The Pink Panther'' (2006), ''Casino Royale'' (2006), ''The Pursuit of Happyness'', ''Catch and Release'', ''Ghost Rider'', ''How Do You Know'', the 2012 remake of ''Total Recall'', and most early Sony Pictures Animation films up to ''Hotel Transylvania'', among others. The high-toned version of all versions of the fanfare listed above can mostly be found on PAL prints of almost all movies by the company. However, the 1998 alternate fanfare is likely to be double-pitched on PAL prints of these aforementioned movies listed. The sequels to ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'' (2009) and ''Hotel Transylvania'' (2012) use the normal-toned version rather than being high-toned on NTSC prints. | *On some films, the 1998 alternate fanfare is high-toned.

*There is also a double-pitched (very high tone) version of the 1998 theme, which can be heard on ''Hollow Man'', ''The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'' (likely to be a triple-pitched version on these PAL releases), and at least the Amazon Prime Video print of ''The Pursuit of Happyness''.<!-- may be on other prints --> | *There is also a double-pitched (very high tone) version of the 1998 theme, which can be heard on ''Hollow Man'', ''The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'' (likely to be a triple-pitched version on these PAL releases), and at least the Amazon Prime Video print of ''The Pursuit of Happyness''.<!-- may be on other prints --> | ||
*On ''Palmetto'', yet another arrangement of the theme is heard without cymbal hits, ending smoothly with synthesized flutes.

*On the 2000 Region 2/4 PAL DVD Release of ''Erin Brockovich'' (and its 2012 reprint), the 1998 theme is NTSC-pitched (as with the 1997 Universal logo's theme). This is also the case on the film's UK VHS release. | |||

*Some newer prints of 1993-1998 films may have their original 1993-98 fanfares (whether common or alternate) reverse plastered with a later 1998 one (whether common or alternate, as well). Examples of this are Blu-ray prints of ''Last Action Hero'', Netflix's print of ''In the Line of Fire'' (which also includes both films' 2021 UHD releases), and later releases of ''Desperado''. | *Some newer prints of 1993-1998 films may have their original 1993-98 fanfares (whether common or alternate) reverse plastered with a later 1998 one (whether common or alternate, as well).
