*On ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'', a custom opening was used. Here, the closing logo plays shortly after the [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo, but Bugs Bunny pops in from the left side of the screen and looks at the viewer, unimpressed as he twitches his nose twice. He then goes back off-screen and pushes the concentric circles away, revealing a blue backstage behind them. He examines the script as he twitches his nose twice again before splitting "That's" and "all Folks!" and using his ears to insert "{{color|red|<u>'''NOT'''</u>}}" in between them (the phrase now reads "That's <u>NOT</u> all Folks!"). Bugs Bunny then raises his eyebrows twice before exiting left. Then, the concentric circles come back and the opening logo plays as normal. Afterwards, Bugs Bunny pulls up the concentric rings while resting on the phrase "Bugs Bunny" as he bites on his carrot as usual. | *On ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'', a custom opening was used.

Then a large, metallic WB shield zooms in at a fast pace, overshooting its mark and nearly crashing into the screen (again, a la ''Lumberjack Rabbit''), and then bounces back to its normal position, as "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" appears above it, and "Presents" below it, in the classic fonts, with a production number and a copyright notice at the bottom. The logo then comes apart and zooms away. No series logo or closing titles appear. | ||

ENTERTAINMENT CO.'''". Below the company byline is the "'''www.warnerbros.com'''" URL. The logo gets covered up with the ''MAD'' logo all over and wipes to the left for the after-credits skit. | ||
'''Variant:''' On the episode "KoBee Movie/Law and Ogre", the logo is drawn on a flip book, like the credits were. The shield is drawn much more smoothly and the space in the lower bowl of the "B" is aligned correctly, while the text below it is written in a cruder, notebook writing-esque font. | '''Variant:''' On the episode "KoBee Movie/Law and Ogre", the logo is drawn on a flip book, like the credits were.

'''Visuals:''' At the start of the show, the sequence starts on a black background with a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} light. Then, a large WB shield in the design of the 14th logo, accompanied with the words "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION" and "Presents", in the same fonts as the 14th logo, alongside a production number and a copyright notice at the bottom, zoom in (with the shield once again zooming in closer than the letters and overshooting its mark, crashing into the screen, then quickly pulling back-again, a la ''Lumberjack Rabbit'').

Around the same time the shield appears, a colorful, painted orange/{{color|#FFD900|yellow}} bullseye "zooms" behind it. Then a quick second later, the shield zooms out, and the camera follows the shield, segueing into the opening intro of the show. | ||
'''Segment Visuals:''' Before the ''Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' segments that appear in the middle of the show, the bullseye appears, with swirling colors (like the painted bullseye in the opening intro, but with only a few rings) on a black background. The color of the bullseye is {{color|green}} for the ''Merrie Melodies'' version, and | '''Segment Visuals:''' Before the ''Road Runner and Wile E.

On a black background, a series of lines zoom and swirl from the screen, three {{color|lavender}} and one orange. The lavender lines disappear one-by-one to form the 1963 "Abstract WB" graphic, rendered in lavender. As this happens, the orange line moves downward and back up before turning into an orange "{{color|orange|PRESENTS}}", in a font reminiscent of the actual 1960s logos. It then cuts to two lines swirling around and then sliding away to reveal the series logo, also including a small {{color|blue}}-and-{{color|#FFD900|yellow}} version of the WB shield from the 2014-present WB Animation logos, with "ANIMATION" underneath in the same font used for the rest of the lettering on the series logo. | ||
'''Closing Visuals:''' A recreation of the 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation closing sequence. On a brownish-black background, a {{color|purple}} "W7" shield is seen. "A WARNER BROS. ANIMATION CARTOON" appears letter-by-letter in front of the shield, complete with the "OO" in "CARTOON" turning red and jumping up and down three times like a cartoon eye take. | '''Closing Visuals:''' A recreation of the 1967 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation closing sequence.
