'''Availability:''' Very rare. Only seen on ''Splash''.

* At the end of a French television broadcast of ''Six Days, Seven Nights'' on the Chérie 25 network, a shortened version was used (most likely as a result of time compression), which starts with the text shining and also cuts to the 2006 [[Buena Vista International Television]] logo before it fades out. | * At the end of a French television broadcast of ''Six Days, Seven Nights'' on the Chérie 25 network, a shortened version was used (most likely as a result of time compression), which starts with the text shining and also cuts to the 2006 [[Buena Vista International Television]] logo before it fades out. | ||
'''FX/SFX:''' | '''FX/SFX:''' 2D animation (sometimes 3D during the logo's later years) from [[The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney Productions]] (now known as [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]]). | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney (who also composed the 1985-2006 [[Walt Disney Pictures]] logo). In other cases, it used the opening/closing theme of the movie or its silent. On some films, such as ''The Color of Money'', ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'', ''3 Ninjas'', and ''The Waterboy'', the film's opening score deliberately syncs up with the logo's animation. In later years, the theme was rarely used, at a point that starting in the early 2000s, it was mainly mostly used on [[Spyglass Media Group|Spyglass Entertainment]] productions. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A series of synthesized bells, ending in a "twang" when the circle and thunder meet, composed by John Debney (who also composed the 1985-2006 [[Walt Disney Pictures]] logo).
