'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney. In other cases, it used the opening/closing theme of the movie or silent. On some films, such as ''The Color of Money'', ''3 Ninjas'' and ''The Waterboy'', the film's opening score deliberately syncs up with the logo's animation. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney.

This logo wasn't seen at all on ''Gangs of New York'', ''Jerky Boys: The Movie'', and overseas theatrical prints of ''Face/Off'', ''Air Force One'', ''Starship Troopers'', and ''Die Hard With a Vengeance'' (for the latter, co-producer [[Cinergi Pictures Entertainment|Cinergi]] sold most international theatrical rights to Disney/Buena Vista). However, all overseas TV, video, and streaming releases of the former 3 films start with the Buena Vista International logo, while ''Die Hard With a Vengeance'' (save the European [[Touchstone Home Entertainment]] Blu-ray which contains Buena Vista International) only opens with Cinergi. This logo was seen on pre-2006 prints of ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'', though newer remastered prints have it plastered with the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo starting with the 3D re-release. It can still be found on pre-2006 DVD and VHS releases of said film. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' Since this logo uses cel animation, the logo wasn't that bad when it made its debut back in the mid-1980s, but in the later years of the logo's use, it started to look worn out. This logo, however, is a favorite of many, mainly due to the creepy music. | '''Editor's Note:''' Since this logo uses cel animation, the logo wasn't that bad when it made its debut back in the mid-1980s, but in the later years of the logo's use, it started to look worn out.
