* On ''MouseHunt'', the guitar at the end is replaced with a French horn playing the same riff. The sound of the bobber hitting the water is also slightly delayed, and the fanfare starts a little earlier. Considering that the end portion of this fanfare was previously used for the short version of the 1996 [[DreamWorks Interactive]] logo, it's possible that the audio originated from an earlier cut of the film dating to before September 1997 (when the final version of the fanfare was introduced in ''The Peacemaker'') | * On ''MouseHunt'' (1997), the guitar at the end is replaced with a French horn playing the same riff.

* On some prints of ''Antz'' (such as the Region 2 and 4 DVD releases of the film), the logo is silent, even though original prints and the 1999 Australian VHS release use the opening theme of the film. This may have either been an error in production or distribution, but it could have been intentionally done so as not to affect the audio pause before the opening credits, which are automatically skipped if another language is selected on the menu. | * On some prints of ''Antz'' (1998) (such as the Region 2 and 4 DVD releases of the film), the logo is silent, even though original prints and the 1999 Australian VHS release use the opening theme of the film. This may have either been an error in production or distribution, but it could have been intentionally done so as not to affect the audio pause before the opening credits, which are automatically skipped if another language is selected on the menu. On foreign dubs of ''Antz'', either the sound of the bobber splashing is muted or the fanfare is delayed. | ||
* Some films have the logo play in silence or use the opening theme instead. Sometimes the sound of the bobber hitting the water will remain, but it might be changed to a different splashing sound depending on the film. | * Some films have the logo play in silence or use the opening theme instead.
