Then, it slows down as in 3 central frames we see a bulb, a hand and a gear. The yellow word "imagine" appears in a flash to the right, and green "engine" zooms in, shaking the logo, so the words overlap the letter "e".
Variants:
FX/SFX: The filmstrip moving, the text appearing.
Music/Sounds: A film projector running, followed by a dark whirr, a sparkling sound, a clang, and a kid laughing (a stock sound effect nicknamed the "Diddy laugh").
Availability: Common. Seen on many kid-oriented and educational games for PC, like Pokemon: Masters Arena, Nicktoons Basketball, Rugrats Go Wild and The Fairly OddParents in Shadow Showdoom.
Editor's Note: This is a favorite of many due to its longevity and numerous appearances on childrens' CD-ROM games.
