'''Logo:''' We start on a black screen. Then, the camera pans away from the "P" in "PIXAR", and we zoom out as Luxo Jr. appears and does his usual animation. Instead of "{{font|times new roman|ANIMATION STUDIOS}}" fading in, it fades in, then zooms in until it stops under the Pixar logo. The rest of the logo plays as normal. | '''Logo:''' We start on a black screen. Then, the camera pans away from the "P" in "PIXAR", and we zoom out as Luxo Jr. appears and does his usual animation.
