'''Logo:''' We see the 1990-1997 Universal Pictures logo proceeding as normal, but without "UNIVERSAL" coming from behind and circling the globe. While the globe zooms out and moves into its center position, a cartoon version of the biplane from the 1920s Universal logo (which is a yellow-orange biplane with a red face and light blue wheels), appears from behind the globe and flies around it and turning through with his tongue sticking out. He leaves a trail of smoke, which turns into "UNIVERSAL", in its similar corporate font from the 1990-1997 Universal Pictures logo with its gradient texture on it and is stretched up vertically (with the "R" backwards, reading "UNIVEЯSAL"). Then, the plane enters the bottom of the globe and flies through it, but doesn't turn this time, leaving another trail of smoke, which also turns into "CARTOON STUDIOS" in rainbow colors and in a Mickey Mouse-like font (named Ashley Crawford). As the globe and the words are in position, the plane comes into the middle of the globe and shockingly stops. Then, he takes a few steps back and realizes the "R" in "UNIVERSAL" is backwards, and giggles for a bit, and flips it around, causing it to spin briefly and making it in the correct way. Then, he floats and looks at the audience and happily looks at the "R" before he floats down, then he looks at us again. | '''Logo:''' We see the 1990-1997 Universal Pictures logo proceeding as normal, but without "UNIVERSAL" coming from behind and circling the globe.

The music was re-orchestrated and the sound effects were added (the buzzing when the plane flies around the globe, the tires squealing with the plane stops, a chipmunk laugh when the plane giggles, and the higher wobbly sound when the "R" spins). This was first used on ''The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving''. | ||

'''Logo:''' We first see a more animated version of the "UNIVERSAL" text revolving around the earth as it appears from the blackness to view from the left side (unlike the right side in the movie counterpart's logo) causing the globe to shine and the glow to appear behind it. The text shines once while it revolves. However, it continues to revolve after the fanfare is over, and the globe and the text gets squeezed so tight, that the glow behind the globe disappears and the "UNIVERSAL" text spins around the earth really, really fast. When it stops spinning, the globe is colored even more vividly and the "UNIVERSAL" text is now is white with an orange border. Then, "ANIMATION STUDIOS" in orange, appears traveling from behind the globe letter-by-letter, making a stop under the logo. Then, a comet comes from the top-right side and travels around the earth, causing the glow to appear again behind the globe. The globe shines. | '''Logo:''' We first see a more animated version of the "UNIVERSAL" text revolving around the earth as it appears from the blackness to view from the left side (unlike the right side in the movie counterpart's logo) causing the globe to shine and the glow to appear behind it.
