Updated from almost 5 years ago. Enjoy! :]

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

[mercurykingfirst]

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 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.

[johnskeeeee]

I can’t believe I spent 2 and a half minutes waiting for the lion to finally roar

[DedricSilva]

So the Lion in the early years from 1916-1934 it's just laying there confused like "Why am i here?"

[umbre]

7:01 the most nostalgic, I remember this one when binge watching tom and jerry episodes on boomerang when i was 6

[dashsat]

3:25 - 1934 has the most overwhelming roar. Amazing.

[juhonieminen]

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.

The early lions were so chill you can see the 1925 lion politely cleared his throat in the middle of filming

[tearoses]

1916 Lion: Wait, are we rolling? Uh, okay, um... what’s my line again?

[gregwilliams]

2:40 That one looked evil as hell by the lighting, followed by the most innocent sounding roar.

[LukeMM]

I miss MGM. You knew you were in for something special when the film begins with that iconic roar.

[VixenSkyfront]

2:39 that lion looks very menacing because of the lighting and the expression

[برتقاله-خب]

7:01 I remember this being in every Tom and Jerry episode

[aidasb]

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

[PCCphoenix]

7:00--First the lion, then Tom! "Meow...rae-OWW ft ftt!!!"

[Samir-rdxp]

YOOO I REMEMBER THE 1965 7:07 version so much, i remember seeing tom and jerry episodes with it

[ZakWolf]

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.

[Omegajunior]

I remember seeing the MGM logos for classic Tom and Jerry cartoons when I was a kid.

The vast majority of pre-May 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.

6:47 I can't imagine that one going over well with the theatergoers...
