I've found the Goldwyn Pictures (with lion) on a DVD collection of Lon Chaney movies TCM and Warner put out a few years ago.
Also, logo #10 (the 'Golden Anniversary' logo) can also be seen on "The Passenger", which is now owned by Sony. Logo #9 (the 'Stylized Lion' against blue background)... as far as I know, the only film on DVD that has it is "2001"; "Grand Prix" has logo #8 on it's DVD release. |

I found one version of Tanner with Jackie's roar. I don't know the exact name of the film, but it was from 1956. I did have it on tape, but it was accidentally destroyed. Has anyone seen it?

On the article of MGM, my bit added to the scare factor about the variations is missing, but when I go to edit, it's there. Someone please help it show up. Thanks.

On TCM, I saw Telly the Lion (and have him recorded on tape) on an old short called Crazy House. He looks like he snarls and roars two times, but does he have sound? When I saw him, he did not.

I personally wasn't scared of Tanner; on his second roar, I thought he was either smiling or had a look of complete flattery on his face

About 10 years ago, I visited Vegas, and I think that lion was being used as the logo for MGM Grand

I suggest that we split the mgm logo, becouse it's geting a little crowded. So, instead of the first logo containing everyone from Slats to Leo, the 1st should be Slats, the 2nd Jackie, etc. I hope it's clear.

Much has been made about the scare factors of the MGM lion mascots. Here's the list of how you think it's scary:
1) NONE (for Slats) - Because, he can't roar. Warner Bros. has planned the DVD release of "He Who Gets Slapped" but was cancelled so you can't see Slats because plastering with Jackie. 2) LOW (for Jackie) - Jackie was moderated. 3) LOW - HIGH (for Telly) 4) MODERATE - HIGH (for Coffee) 5) HIGH (for Tanner) - Because, Tanner was evil! *screams like the Dualstar Interactive logo from some Club Acclaim-published Mary Kate & Ashley games* 6) MODERATE (for Jackie II or Bob) 7) LOW - MEDIUM (for Leo, a.k.a. Jackie III) So run away for your lives as Tanner appears in the MGM logo to be angry! Fires aweigh!

Much has been made about the names of the MGM lion mascots. Here's what my research has produced:
1) LEO (the Goldwyn lion) - Found as a cub in Port Sudan, Africa by lion trapper/trainer Volney Phifer in 1913. Hired by Sam Goldwyn in 1917 (not '16) to fill the logo designed by Howard Dietz. After the MGM merger, he made tours with Phifer at the studio's behest. Moved with Phifer to New Jersey in the early '30's, but was sold to the Philadelphia Zoo when local zoning commission banned wild animals kept as domestic pets. Died in Philadelphia in 1936; remains are buried at Phifer's former home. 2) SLATS - Born 1919 in Dublin Zoo, Ireland; brought to Hollywood by Volney Phifer as MGM's new mascot. Became the star of Gay's Lion Farm in El Monte, California; the farm closed in 1942, and he was returned to Phifer. He sold Slats to the Memphis Zoo, who renamed him "Volney". He died in 1944. 3) JACKIE - the one who "roared in" the sound era at MGM. Born at the World Jungle Compound in Hollywood; trained by Melvin Koontz; lived at the Selig Zoo (the former Selig Studios) in Los Angeles, and later at Jungleland in nearby Thousand Oaks, where he died in 1952. 4) TANNER - Jackie's Technicolor counterpart, and the lion who would symbolize the MGM musical. Also handled by Melvin Koontz, his life-dates are unknown to me. His roar was the lustiest and liveliest. Served two tenures as the mascot of MGM's animated output. 4) al-MARAH (a.k.a JACKIE II, BOB) - Fluffy-maned and ill-tempered, not much is known about him at all, except he was pressed into service as the lion who would be shot in CinemaScope. 5) LEO (a.k.a. LEO II, JACKIE III) - The most famous to today's audiences, his image has been used since 1957 in motion pictures and television, although his roar was discarded in 1982 (the year he died). The floor is now open to theories, addendums and downright repudiations. Fire away!
