'''Logo:''' On a light blue background, some letters bumps out of nowhere. As a blue "n" runs by, a blue "o" rolls down and a blue "i" slides while a blue "a" spins around. Then "i" comes back, trips, and loses its dot. A blue "m" dodges it and it hits the "a". The dot bounces off a ton of letters while the (now dotless) "i" tries to catch it. Then all the letters bounce back and are revealed to be the letters in the word "animation". Then the words "SONY PICTURES" drop on the word "animation". The logo slowly zooms out until all the letters fall down. | '''Logo:''' On a light blue background, some letters bumps out of nowhere.

''Editor's Note:'' It's a fun logo, and much better than some of their other titles. The letters dropping may surprise some first-time viewers, though. | '''Editor's Note:''' It's a fun logo, and much better than some of their other titles.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, the blue words "Sony Pictures" and "Animation", in a wacky font, zoom out and bounce letter-by-letter. Suddenly, the letters stop when they reach the middle position. An arc is visible in "Animation", separating the blue into 2 shades. | '''Logo:''' On a white background, the blue words "Sony Pictures" and "Animation", in a wacky font, zoom out and bounce letter-by-letter.

'''Editor's Note:''' A logo that doesn't live up to the 1st logo's quirkiness, and being attached to some of the worst films they made doesn't help its reputation. | '''Editor's Note:''' A logo that doesn't live up to the 1st logo's quirkiness, and being attached to some of the worst films they made doesn't help its reputation. | ||
