Walt Disney Animation Studios

(March 30, 2007- )

Nickname : "Steamboat Willie"

Logo : A gold paper flips in the logo onto screen, drawing a red outline of Mickey Mouse wearing a steamboat hat. The paper finishes flipping as an outline of Mickey turns into a scene from the 1928 Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie, and below the picture, the words "WALT DiSNEY" write themselves in the signature corporate font (with a slight modification), with "ANIMATION STUDIOS" fading in underneath.

Variants :


 * Recently, starting with Bolt, the logo was given a high definition look, which used the same animation.
 * On Tangled, the animation zooms to the "0", and continues there, while the big text "50TH ANIMATED MOTION PICTURE" appears under the logo with the company name above it.
 * On Wreck-It Ralph, the logo is done in a retro video game style on a black background.
 * On new animated shorts, as well as at the end of movies, the logo is cut down to its last few seconds.
 * On the Prep & Landing specials and Operation: Secret Santa, the logo is still.

FX/SFX : Mostly CGI.

Cheesy Factor : The "Walt Disney" logo writing in the Disney logo font is kind of choppy, although this may be intentional given that it's an animated signature quickly scribbling itself on the paper.

Music/Sounds : The sound of pages turning followed by a cheerful tune that Mickey's whistling with music in the cartoon.

Music/Sounds Variants :


 * The Wreck-It Ralph variant has an 8-bit version of the music Mickey's whistling.
 * The animated shorts variant has the last few seconds of Mickey whistling with the music.
 * On Frozen, the movie's opening theme plays over the logo.
 * The closing variant is silent, except for on The Princess and the Frog where it just has Mickey's whistling without any background music at all.
 * The still logo has the end theme play over it.

Availability : Current. It was first seen on Meet the Robinsons, and can be seen on every Disney animated feature henceforth, most recently Big Hero 6, as well as short films like How to Hook Up Your Home Theater, The Ballad of Nessie, Tangled Ever After, Paperman, ''Get a Horse! and Feast. Also seen on newer prints of animated classics, such as Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King''. The still version can be seen on the Prep & Landing TV specials, as well as the short Operation: Secret Santa.
