Oh, I do love that scene (6:44 / 7:06). Seeing either Jerry or Tom imitating the MGM lion's roar was one o' the best things in the world to me when I was a kid.
I also loved the Tom & Jerry cartoons, and knew they were in color. But when The Wizard of Oz came on, a film I knew was mostly in color, and I saw the lion was in black & white, I wondered what was going on.
I love that their logo shows off what the do. They had a living moving logo as they are a motion picture company and then when they started doing sound movies they added a roar. You can tell how excited they must have been to add the roar.

@@NorthKoreaCommunism I already explained how the original MGM was bought out years ago. Now it's just a distribution company. No more musicals, no more epics, no more Tom & Jerry.
03:39 The golden years of MGM with Marx Brothers roar. If company allows trolling with its main logo, you know it's making quality stuff. Disney would have no such thing today.
I remember seeing the MGM logos for classic Tom and Jerry cartoons when I was a kid. The vast majority of pre-May 1986 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer titles are currently the property of Turner Entertainment Co. and are thus currently distributed by their WarnerMedia (formerly known as Time Warner after it merged with AT&T when it was sold to AT&T) sister company Warner Bros. I'm hoping Warner Bros. should buy MGM so they could reunite with MGM if they already bought MGM.
As far as I know despite MGM being bought by Amazon, Tom and Jerry is technically a Warner Bros property alongside with Looney Tunes so they can make another Tom and Jerry stuff without MGM like they did in the last movie
Unfortunately it’s the opposite for every other major business or corporation in the world. It’s so obnoxious, “Guys, we know our consumers are dumb, we Gotta simply literally everything, even the logo! Or they won’t buy our stuff because it’ll be too complex!”
I'll always remember that one because it was the opening to 2001. I'm guessing that was a directorial choice to not use the lion clip or it was just denoting that this was the Anglican division of the company
It was only used for 3 films across 1966-68, so it wasn’t being used as THE logo. Not sure what the thinking was. That logo ended up being used for MGM Resorts International.
This used to creep me out as a kid. When I was home alone and this came up. I would hide under the blanket and stay in my room until someone came home.
The lion I remember the most is Tanner, from years of watching old MGM cartoons (like Tom & Jerry, Droopy, Barney Bear, and those other Tex Avery classics) on Cartoon Network in my childhood.
This has to be the most bipolar lion I've ever seen. Sometimes he roars, sometimes he's chill, sometimes he sounds like a cat, sometimes he sounds and looks human, and just when you think you finally have a powerful lion, he goes back to sounding like water going down a drain. This really busted my perception of the powerful MGM lion. 2008 is the best one.
@@ARASFilmServicebecause the first 20 or so minutes (as well as the last scene) are in sepia tone, it isn’t until when Dorothy lands in Oz that it goes to colour
7:00 Tom and 10:10 James Bond.. both have my heart stolen!! ❤️ #nostalgia Bdw they have probably missed the black and white classic logo which appears in the opening of all time great CASINO ROYALE, 2008.
The one from the 40s until the modern one I think in 1957 is the only other one I've actually seen while watching a movie, and it's easily the 2nd best one after the current one. A lot of the other ones it seems so awkward, the ones from the 20s and earlier the lion looks like it doesn't understand what's happening lol.
9:27 Being part Aussie, it is my obligation to say that was my favourite! (Ironically Crocs and Lions are my favourite living animals among a few others)
MGM producer- "Hey guys! Instead of lions on the logo, how about we do a alligator? Let's have a change." MGM worker- "Okay. Let's try it." *Shows cringey alligator roaring* MGM producer- "Hell no let's go back to lions."
6:08 Anyone remembered that this logo was used in both Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas? Both of those movies starred my idol from the 1950's and 60's!
I love the Marx Brothers standing in for Leo😂. Plus I remember a Laurel and Hardy film where Stan warn Ollie not to go around the corner because “MGM” was there. Was this Tanner the lion doing a cameo?
I'm glad they kept the live action Lion for the Hanna-barbara Tom and Jerry shorts. There's just something about a live action Lion welcoming you to watch a cartoon of a cat getting its ass handed to by an mouse with its iconic theme music.
Tanner is the original lion appearing in the original Tom and Jerry cartoon in the beginning (especially in the one where Tom immediately replaced the lion; I'm mentioning this because I used to think it was Leo because of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer being written above the movie tape roll logo when it was actually Tanner since Leo appeared in the one with MGM's name above). 🦁
I like how in the earlier stages, the lion was just kinda chill, then as the years went on he got more and more pissed off
Lmao
Enzo Messina same. I dig the roar
It’s because he’s getting irritated on being in that ring for too long.
That or he was shy with the audience gazing at him at first but got more comfortable with showing off.
Chao Flaka in reality they actually heavily sedated these lions.
hahaha
So the Lion in the early years from 1916-1934 it's just laying there confused like "Why am i here?"
Dedric Silva : No ,there was no roar from them until 1928,actually because the earlier movies were silent until then.

In the 1961 version, Jerry turned into a lion from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo then Tom is like a bit scared.
