Sony Pictures Animation 19th Anniversary Logo

 * 19th Anniversary variant: We see a montage of clips from various Sony Pictures Animation movies (such as Open Season, Surf's Up, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Smurfs, Arthur Christmas, The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Hotel Transylvania, The Smurfs 2, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Hotel Transylvania 2, Goosebumps, The Angry Birds Movie, Ghostbusters, Smurfs: The Lost Village, The Emoji Movie, The Star, Peter Rabbit, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Men in Black: International, The Angry Birds Movie 2, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, and Wish Dragon) zooming out and playing simultaneously. Then, Mavis (from Hotel Transylvania franchise) pops from the left, she waves at us and giggles as the movie clips fade out, revealing a white background. Mavis then turns into a bat and flies off, revealing a shiny blue version of the current Sony Pictures Animation logo. The logo has "SONY PICTURES" on top in a font similar to the 1st logo, and "ANIMATION" in a large, bold, geometric font. On the right, we see a big "19," with the "1" above "ANIMATION" and its bottom connected to the "9," which in turn has the bottom. The word "YEARS" is seen below the tip of the "9." Poop, Gene, Hi-5, Jailbreak, and Smiler from The Emoji Movie are seen laughing below. An excerpt of Mark Mothersbaugh's "Meatier Shower" from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs plays over the logo. This was used to commemorate the 19th anniversary.
