'''Logo:''' The standard lion logo as before, but the ribboning has been simplified and is now red; the "ARS GRATIA ARTIS" phrase is missing, along with the drama mask. Below the logo, we see "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER" in a bold bright yellow font, with a giant "CARTOON" below it in the same color. "COLOR BY Technicolor" (with "Technicolor" in script) follows, and the whole thing is on an upsdell red background. From 1946-1947, the words "In Technicolor" were seen below the logo. | '''Logo:''' The standard lion logo as before, but the ribboning has been simplified and is now red; the "ARS GRATIA ARTIS" phrase is missing, along with the drama mask.

* First variant (November 20, 1954-November 19, 1955): Similar to the original title, but it's in widescreen and the background is orange. It was used on shorts from "Pet Peeve" to "That's My Mommy". | * The Academy version of the closing title is essentially the same as the previous versions, but this time the "An MGM" credit has been redrawn with thicker borders, and is noticeably smaller to accommodate flat widescreen ratios. Starting in 1956 (reissues only since the new CinemaScope cartoons were already using different closing titles), the The End text has been slightly redrawn again with even thicker borders to match the secondary closing titles. Also, "MADE IN HOLLYWOOD, U.S.A." is now in a different font. | ||
