Visuals: Superimposed into the credits, a yellow abstract sun is seen with a white glow around it. On the sun is the red text "H T" in a font similar to the HiT Entertainment logo, and a orange ball in the center that also glows, reading "HoT", and "animation" is seen curved around the lower right corner of the sun. Below the logo is the following text:
