'''Visuals:''' The | '''Visuals:''' The camera pans up through a cloudy {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} sky at daytime as the familiar DreamWorks crescent moon is seen. A boy (similar to that of the 1997 [[DreamWorks Pictures]] logo) flies up onto the moon holding a bunch of balloons, and as he takes his place, he takes out his fishing rod and casts it, while letting go of the balloons. The camera pans further up into a cloud formation similar to the DreamWorks Pictures logo, as the balloons fly up and then pop into the word "{{color|red|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''<big>D</big>'''}}}}{{color|royalblue|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''R'''}}}}{{color|darkorange|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''E'''}}}}{{color|mediumvioletred|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''A'''}}}}{{color|limegreen|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''M'''}}}}{{color|red|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''<big>W</big>'''}}}}{{color|royalblue|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''O'''}}}}{{color|darkorange|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''R'''}}}}{{color|mediumvioletred|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''K'''}}}}{{color|limegreen|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''S'''}}}}", in its corporate font.
