* ''[[Team America: World Police]]:'' The Paramount logo animation runs backward.

* In ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer
** This one was ruined when Warner Bros. took over the European distribution of the film.
* ''[[The Core]]'': as it finishes, it zooms into the mountain's core.
Line 195:
* At the end of the 1951 ''[[Popeye]]'' cartoon, ''Alpine For You'', after Popeye punches Bluto, Bluto slams into a mountain peak, forming stars around the mountain. After that, "A Paramount Picture" appears over said mountain, closing the cartoon. This joke was preserved on the AAP prints.
* Popeye, [[Little Lulu]], and [[Little Audrey]] also had their own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MceZCTT7MCE special] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uzO3sPO-zQ "Spinning Star"] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESjMx0pQvHU openings], where stars from the logo would zoom in with the characters' headshots.

** Also, when they awaken the Golden Knight from his slumber beneath the Hill, Ginger is carrying a torch and Detritus bangs a gong. In Ginger's dream there's a lion roaring as well, but that never actually happens.
* Paramount loves the [[Match Cut]]. In ''[[The Busy World of Richard Scarry]]'' animated series, the Paramount logo [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgV3vdOT09I morphs into a mountain in Busytown] which the Applecopter promptly flies out from behind, again via a fade.

* [[Cartoon Network]]'s old "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61xR9LyN0T8 Cartoon Theater]" had parodies of the MGM, Paramount and Columbia logos.
** The [http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Cartoon+Network+Studios third and current "Cartoon Network Studios" logo] is a grungy, 1992 version of the network logo that stops blinking when a green scanner runs over it. However, most series/movies have it open up to some rough, animatic-like animation of the main characters (for example, [[The Grim Adventures of Billy

* In the second season of ''[[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]]'' the opening Central logo (a white globe) shrinks down and dissolves into a live action shot of a white roulette ball at the start of the opening credits.
* One episode of Thames Television's ''[[The Kenny Everett Video Show]]'' had Kenny bursting through the opening logo. The shot was repeated in reverse for the closing logo.
