Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios: Difference between revisions

* The original print of ''Freaks'' (1932) uses the early roar from the 1928 version instead of the 1932 panther's roar for an unknown reason.

* Seen on films of the era, such as ''Freaks'' (1932), ''Grand Hotel'' (1932), ''Manhattan Melodrama'' (1934), ''The Thin Man'' films from 1934 to 1947, ''The Girl From Missouri'' (1934), ''Riptide'' (1934), ''A Night at the Opera'' (1935), ''Fury'' (1936), ''Libeled Lady'' (1936), ''Camille'' (1936), ''Romeo and Juliet'' (1936), ''The Good Earth'' (1937), ''Captains Courageous'' (1937), ''Topper'' (1937), ''A Day at the Races'' (1937), the ''Andy Hardy'' films from 1937 to 1946, ''The Wizard of Oz'' (1939), ''Goodbye, Mr. Chips'' (1939), ''Ninotchka'' (1939), ''The Philadelphia Story'' (1940), ''Ziegfeld Girl'' (1941), ''Mrs. Miniver'' (1942), ''Gaslight'' (1944), ''The Asphalt Jungle'' (1950), ''The Bad and the Beautiful'' (1952), ''Pat and Mike'' (1952), as well as the 1930s ''The Captain and the Kids'' cartoons.  

* The color variant is quite rare, as colorized versions are hardly ever shown on TV or on video. It is, however, seen on the colorized version of ''Babes in Toyland'' (1934), as well as colorized version of ''The Thin Man'' (1934), ''David Copperfield'' (1935) (intact on the Russian channels for the former as well as 2000's local stations airings for the latter), ''Libeled Lady'' (1936), ''Camille'' (1936) and ''A Christmas Carol'' (1938) (intact on the Canadian [[YTV|YTV]]'s airing). Also, this might be seen on some variant recreations of these colorized versions of said films.

* On a [[Rede Globo]] airing of ''Gone with the Wind'' from December 15, 1989, the 1982 roar track, which was first used for the ninth logo, was used, albeit slightly pitched up.

* Seen on color live-action films such as ''Lassie Come Home'' (1943), ''Meet Me in St. Louis'' (1944), ''National Velvet'' (1944), ''Good News'' (1947), ''On the Town'' (1949), ''An American in Paris'' (1951), ''Quo Vadis'' (1951), ''Singin' in the Rain'' (1952), short subjects, FitzPatrick's Traveltalks travelogues ''Cherry Blossom Time In Japan'' (1936), ''Rocky Mountain Grandeur'' (1937), ''Hong Kong: The Hub of the Orient'' (1937), ''Java Journey'' (1938), ''Paris On Parade'' (1938), ''Sitka and Juneau'' (1940), ''Cavalcade of San Francisco'' (1940), ''‎Over the Andes'' (1943), ''Colorful Colorado'' (1944) and ''‎‎Monumental Utah'' (1944), several musicals and animated features from MGM's "Golden Age", the 1939's ''Pete Smith Speciality'' "Marine Circus" on TCM (but not on the Warner Archive DVD nor Blu-ray releases), and ''Two Hearts in Wax Time'' (1935). Its first feature film appearance after four years later was ''Sweethearts'' (1938), and the last few films to use this were ''The Band Wagon'', ''Latin Lovers'', and ''Give a Girl a Break''.

* The long version is seen on ''Star Night at the Cocoanut Grove'' (1934), as well as on the travelogues ''Holland in Tulip Time'' (its first appearance until 1938), ''Switzerland the Beautiful'', ''Zion: Canyon of Color'', ''Ireland: The Emerald Isle'', and ''Los Angeles: Wonder City of the West''. The former short can be found on the DVD release of ''The Gay Divorcee'', which was originally released by RKO Radio Pictures.

* The VCI Blu-ray and streaming prints of ''Gorgo'' blend the 1957 and 1995 roars, possibly due to sloppy plastering. Since the 1995 variation had only two roars, the second roar is used at both the beginning and the end.

* Seen on such films as ''Jailhouse Rock'', the first two ''Poltergeist'' films, ''A Christmas Story'', ''Ben Hur'', ''King of Kings'', the 1980s James Bond films ''Octopussy'' and ''A View to a Kill'', and ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'', among others.

* This logo debuted on ''Tip on a Dead Jockey'' (released on September 6, 1957), and made its final appearance on ''O.C. and Stiggs'' (released on July 10, 1987). The color version debuted on ''Les Girls''.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' The roar track is muted on ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo''.

* This logo is found on all MGM releases from this period, starting with ''Quantum of Solace'' and ending with ''21 Jump Street''.

* Other movies with this logo include ''Valkyrie'', ''The Pink Panther 2'', ''The Taking of Pelham 123'', ''Fame'', ''Hot Tub Time Machine'' and ''Zookeeper''.

* A strange reverse plaster with the 1982 MGM/UA Home Video fanfare was found on the Brazilian Portuguese dub of ''Exterminator 2'' (1984).  

* It can be seen on every MGM film from 2012 until 2021, starting with ''Hope Springs'' (albeit a shortened version) and ending with some select prints of ''No Time to Die'' (2021).

* A shorter version of the logo actually first appeared on the teaser trailer for said film, while the full version of the logo was first seen on ''Skyfall''.
