Through the main gate of the castle, a white light appears and grows brighter before morphing into the words "'''W{{Small|ALT}} Di{{small|SNEY}}'''" in its familiar corporate font, followed by the blue text "PICTURES" (set in ITC Lubalin Graph) fading in underneath. Another ray of light then draws an arc over the castle, which is hidden only by its highest tower. Three main variants of this exist: | ||
* June 21, 1985-November 17, 1989: The castle has a light blue/white gradient, and the arc is drawn all the way to the bottom left of the castle, behind the "W" in "Walt Disney". Also, there is a brief pause after the initial glow before the shower of light descends, and the light from the castle gate appears immediately after the castle has been fully formed. | * June 21, 1985-November 17, 1989: The castle has a light blue/white gradient, and the arc is drawn all the way to the bottom left of the castle, behind the "W" in "Walt Disney".

The word "'''PICTURES'''" (set in Goudy Extra Bold) fades in below the script, with each of the letters spaced out. A ray of light appears below the script and extends to form a line between the script and text, with a small break at the "y" in "Walt Disney". | ||

'''Visuals:''' First a night sky is shown, with a star somewhere in the distance and the clouds on the bottom. The camera begins to pan down through the clouds, revealing a valley with a winding river being navigated by a yacht, a train running down a railroad track and some buildings nearby. The camera passes a flag with the Disney coat of arms to reveal a new CGI castle as fireworks are seen around the setting. The camera pans around the castle before stopping at a comfortable position, with the castle in full view and two walls lined up on opposite sides with a winding river in front. The fireworks fade away, and a small light appears from the left side of the castle, flying towards the bottom right side. It then draws an arc over the castle, leaving behind pixie dust.
