An animated version of Cookie Monster is behind the logo (but only his head and arms are shown). He looks back and forth, and then takes a bite out of the top left side of the sign and chews it noisily and messily. He then licks his finger, and then he has a delighted expression on his face, with his eyes spinning around. The logo then dades out. | ||

'''Audio:''' There is four "pan drop" sounds that segue into a remix of the ''Sesame Street'' theme and birds chirping. We then hear Zoe (voiced by Fran Brill) giggling, Cookie Monster (voiced by Frank Oz) saying "This so very exciting!", Big Bird (voiced by Caroll Spinney) saying "Hey, that looks good!" and Ernie (voiced by Steve Whitmire) humming and chortling -all accompanied by hammering sounds. A whistle is heard when Cookie Monster throws one of his cookies off-screen, following by an ascending xylophone scale. After the "Home Video" text is shown, Elmo (voiced by Kevin Clash) says "Yeah! Sesame Street Home Video!" and giggles. | '''Audio:''' There is four "pan drop" sounds that segue into a remix of the ''Sesame Street'' theme and birds chirping.
