As the camera slowly zooms into the torch, it disappears. As the "sunburst" is forming, a clock-style transition occurs behind it, turning the background from black to yellow, and after the sunburst forms, several human silhouettes are seen.

Then in a box appears above the Kazakh word with "WARNING" and on the text, a box appears on top with "SELLING PIRATINGS OF THIS MOVIEDISC WILL RESULT IN PUNISHMENT BY CRUSHING."

He then punches Bluto and lets go of the mountain top and stars emerge from Bluto's head and form the Paramount logo, as the words "A Paramount Picture" appear below Bluto.

The Buccaneer (1958): It's the Paramount mountain from the time, only this time the font has slightly changed and seems more "hand written", and the name is not stretched to feet in the circle of stars.

Afterwards, we get a brief 2-D animated segment where a cartoon Big Bird finds an air pump and a balloon. He inflates the balloon and it turns out to be a "W", which pops off and flies into the sky, where it morphs into the "W" in the "WB" shield as the rest of the shield forms around it. While this happens, Big Bird announces that "Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B." The movie proper begins afterward.

CARTOON" appears, the logo stays for a few seconds. After that, this logo quickly shakes too fast, eventually burning up. Then, it cuts to the slide that reads "Earlier that Morning..." with a rooster crowing and the sun is behind the rooster. After that comes the old animated countdown screen.

CLOSE: A rather different ending plays instead of the usual "That's All Folks" script logo in which "THAT'S ALL FOLKS" in a different font also turned counterclockwise scrolls upward followed by a outline circle with an "X" in it appearing for a split-second.

Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers (1991):

CLOSE: We see a recreation of the 1944 Porky In The Drum logo, in which a badly animated "stereotype" version of Porky (whom, aside from also wearing pants, resembles a Terry Gilliam drawing) bursts out of the drum and tries to say his famous line in a pale voice imitation as outer-spacey sound-effects play in the background. A frowning Bugs enters from the left and kicks the fake Porky out, which crashes off screen, then grabs the real Porky and puts him in the drum where he belongs.
