Classic MGM Cartoons (pre-1937)
Logo descriptions and captures by Logoboy95
Note: These titles were attached at the beginning and end of all Flip the Frog and Willie Whopper cartoons, before the MGM cartoon department officially opened in 1937.
Flip the Frog
Background: Flip the Frog is a cartoon series produced by Celebrity Productions and distributed through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1930 to 1933. The series had a total of 38 episodes.
(1930-1933)
Logo: In black background, are the titles "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents" with "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" in its own corporate font. Below the name of the character and Flip himself playing the piano. The titles fades to the main episode title card.
Closing Title: In black background, we see "The End" in a script font with the secondary MGM logo on the bottom-right. Sometimes, the secondary MGM logo is eliminated.
FX/SFX: Flip playing the piano. None for the ending.
Cheesy Factor: Flip the Frog in the opening is annoying, while the lion in the secondary MGM logo in the ending might be a lion statue.
Music/Sounds: Probably the theme of a short.
Availability: If you find it, then you're as lucky as everyone can get. It's way, way, way, WAAAY too hard to find.
Scare Factor: None if you ignore the scratchy prints.

Willie Whopper
Background: From 1933 to 1934, MGM distributed "Willie Whopper" cartoons that were produced by Celebrity Productions. The series only had 13 episodes.
(1933-1934)
Logo: In a sunburst background, are the words "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents" and below, in huge fonts, "WILLIE WHOPPER". Underneath, Willie Whopper himself and the secondary MGM logo.
Closing Title: Same as the opening, only "The End" is seen above Willie himself and and underneath is "WILLIE WHOPPER" and the hard-to-look secondary MGM logo.
FX/SFX: None as far as we know.
Music/Sounds: The opening/closing theme of a short.
Availability: Extinct.
Scare Factor: Minimal.
